Dryden Designs Medium Nib Fountain Calligraphy Pen |12 Black & 12 Blue with Ink Refill Converter| No Leak, Smooth Flow, Consistent Writing | Left-and Right-Handed | Royal Red

Really good quality fountain pen, well finished and the nib is medium sized. Does not scratch or rub. Paintwork in eye catching metallic colors (only the purple is not metallic ). Easy writing, quite hard nib, but good for heavy writing! Made to last. Overall well balanced but on the light side. Excellent fountain pen for little money! Recommended

I was given this lovely pen as an early valentine present, and I am delighted with it. It looks beautiful and expensive, although I know it wasn’t, as I chose it. I have chosen to use bottled ink and it fills easily it writes very well and the ink flow is constant, with no blanks or blotches. We chose the velvety bag instead of the gift box which means it doesn’t get scatched I carry it everywhere I go in my handbag so that was important. The company sent me two emails, one before it arrived to assure me it was on its way and one after it arrived to say they hoped I was enjoying using the pen and assuring me that if there were any problems they would sort them out quickly. I can definitely recommend this pen and can assure any purchaser it looks as good as in the pictures.

My pen arrived promptly and I was very impressed by its quality and finish. It came with a little pouch for storage which was also good. I have always used Lamy fountain pens for studying / writing in lectures, because of the cartridges and the fact that they're quite durable. I wanted a pen to continue using at home with my bottle of ink as my previous pen had given up on me. Love the red finish too, excellent deep colour complemented well by the tasteful gold finishing touches. The Dryden makes for very comfortable writing and just "feels" right. No messy refills with this converter and the nib stays free of ink splashes too. Firm close on the pen lid and the barrel screws on well and stays put. It puts a good amount of ink on the paper and doesn't go through with 90gsm (Oxford) It does seem to get through ink a little quickly but I don't really seem to mind - that and I'm doing a hell of a lot of writing at the moment! Great pen and good quality, excellent value.

Bought this wanting to have a fountain pen with a screw lid. Pictures show a thread so assumed it was a screw on lid - it isn’t. Aside from that, writes nicely and is quite smooth.

Excellent quality

Nice looking pen but ink doesn't flow smoothly so writing is patchy. I swapped the cartridges supplied for the reservoir and filled that with decent Parker Quink black ink but it makes no difference. Therefore pen not recommended.

Just bought this and started using and so far it seems really good, especially for the price. It looks good and the weight is feels about right. Being left handed, I often have problems with ballpoints etc being scratchy or catching. This writes well straight from the start unlike some I've used where you have to 'scribble' a bit to get ink flowing. Bought a Parker jotter recently and the Dryden is better. So far I'd have no hesitation buying another...

idea great pen ink flow excellent design great colour range excellent appearance look great writing ability brallent putting cartridge in slight puffiness but once in get the hang of it it's great for writing with ball point pens my writing bit off but with these pens I write neater which is bonus plus get 24 ink cartridge with pen bonus for the price of £15 pounds excellent value for money price of gel pens I paid £9 pounds now in local shops for same gel lends now are £20 to buy so these pens bought 2 of them for £30 but they last longer than stranded pens
