Jinhao Baoer 388 Stainless Steel Fountain Pen Writing Set 0.5mm Medium-Fine Nib ~ Includes Pen + 5pk BLACK Cartridges...

This fountain pen costs the same as a disposable fountain pen, so is amazing value for money. The main thing is that it writes so well - very smooth. It is also very stylish and built from good materials. I haven't deducted any stars for its flaws because of its price, but they are: cap does not post and the supplied cartridges are difficult to fit.

The pen is a little too thin for my liking. Also it doesn't have a very large refilling reseptixal. But it writes smoothly and is quite cheap.

Good quality pen, easy to write with.

This pen is perfect. It has a super comfortable weight distribution and looks extremely professional. It glides across the page with no effort. The provided Jinhao ink will slightly bleed through thinner paper, but is extremely fast-drying and very smooth. The pen also comes with a refillable cartridge if you wish to use your own ink. Changing cartridges is painless and the ink flows to the nib relatively quickly. The body of the pen is full metal, giving it a really nice weighty feeling in your hand, and the lid snaps onto the bottom of the pen for convenient storage while writing. Overall an amazing budget option.

Incredible little pen! I'm fountain pen obsessive and being illustrator, I've used anything from Lamy,to Rotring to Faber-Castell. I have hundreds of German and Japanese pens,but this pen was a total surprise for it's incredible value and amazing quality. The smallest nib I've ever seen,yet writes smooth and without scratch. Surprisingly light,despite being stainless steel.It might be too light for people, who like heavy pens,but for others like me,who constantly write stories and doddle it's simply perfect! Highly recommended. It arrived the next day after being dispatched,which was simply amazing!(not on prime).

This is a lovely pen, very smart looking and nice colour. Just getting used to using it at the moment but looking forward to sending letters/cards with it.

Firm grip on cap but not too tight. Unlike a previous purchase that needed a pair of pliers to get the cap off. Writes smoothly.

It’s a good pen but I find it to be very light and the writing feels a little edgy, not smooth like my other fountain pens. Not a bad pen for the price. The colour scheme is very good.
