GC QUILLFountain Pen - Fine Nib with Ink Refill Converter, Fancy Pen Gift Set for Calligraphy Writing Journaling - MU-11

I have a collection of about 150 fountain pens - American, Italian, German, French, Brittish, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, from all different price ranges from cheap Chinese knock-offs to German gold-nabbed classics. Some of the less expensive pens really hold their own against some of the pricier pens. This is one of them. I like the look of the orange and gray colors together, so for 7 bucks (converter included), persuaded in part by the positive reviews here on Amazon, I gave this one a try. Good move on my part. It has a nice fine-medium nib (only seems to come in one size and does appear intended to be removable), stays ready to write for days without drying out. No flex, but the nib is very smooth. The cap is a little bit tight - fits a bit like the Muji classic cap. It has a nice weight, and the metal grip is a bit triangulated, sort of like a Safari, but more compact and weighty in the balance. Very comfortable to write with. Not sure how long the plastic outside will last, but I do not generally take my pens out of my house and I am not hard on them, so it is probably not an issue for me. I have it filled with Binghampton Burnt Charcoal ink, and it matches the pen colors nicely. I would highly recommend this pen if you are in the market for an inexpensive pen that looks nice and if fun to write with! Sure, it is not a $400 Pelikan, but for the money, you cannot go wrong!

Better than expected for the price! Nice packaging. Good looking pen. No leaks (yet) and smooth writing fine nib. The converter works well. I take it out of the pen and dip the end of the converter barrel into the ink to refill. Some have said they dip the whole tip of the pen and fill it through the nib. But that can get messy with any fountain pen. Just note it does not come with ink cartridges. Just the converter. So get yourself a bottle of good quality ink. Very pleased with this pen given the very low cost.

It writes well and feels good in my hand. Just the cap is a little tight.

So far so good. Packaging is nice smooth. And no leaks so far. The cap is secure as well.

This pen looks cool, but the nib dries up immediately. Would give 0 stars if I could.

I’m new to fountain pens and they make all other pens feel inferior!! I was gifted my first one by my boyfriend and I wanted to explore color options. Found some great ink and didn’t want to spend a fortune on another pen! This is far more valuable than its bargain price and was easy to fill!! Going to order a second one ASAP since i ended up choosing two ink colors and want to be able to switch it up with ease!Update.. I did order a second one and it hardly writes and is very scratchy. Sending it back to try again

This is a great pen. Has good flow, weight, feedback, posting, etc...It isn't prone to clogging. If it's been a few days, you might need to wet the nib a bit of your ink dries easily.

It writes pretty well. The pen is advertised as having a Fine nib, but there are no markings anywhere on the pen to indicate nib size, so you pretty much have to just take their word for it. Of course, ink and paper types can show vastly different results when comparing. A wet ink on highly absorbent paper normally leads to ghosting at best, and bleeding at worst, enough that only one side of the paper can be written on. But the pen is a fairly smooth writer. A lot of cheaper pens can be scratchy; this one is pretty smooth.It's also a decent weight pen. It's too light for brass, but too heavy for plastic or resin, so it must be aluminum.The grip section has little indents, presumably for finger placement. These indents may be in the right places for right-handed people, but they don't do anything for a lefty like myself. I tried using them, but they made the nib turn too far either way to write.The cap fits well when posted; it didn't feel like it was going to fall off like some other pens I've used.The end of the pocket clip is kicked out sufficiently so that it's not difficult to secure to a pocketbor t-shirt collar. The grip section could stand to be just a little bigger for my larger hands, but it will still work as is.I like it just fine. Not bad for the price.
