Pilot Varsity Disposable Fountain Pens Visible Ink Supply, Medium Point, Black Ink, 3 Pack

I've always been a bit of an anachronist. I like fountain pens, but I don't have money for the really nice kind. (Maybe my wife will pick up the hints by my birthday.) But ever since I took up calligraphy as a teen, I've liked fountain pens over ballpoints, gels, felt, etc. If you think you might like to try writing with a fountain pen, this is the best place to start! These are affordable, neat, and low maintenance, but they maintain some of the fun parts of writing with a fountain pen. I like a bit of a wet line, and these are a little fine for me, but I think that's a feature for a new user. It's a little scratchy, but heck: it's a disposable pen, and expecting some fine German-made gold nib would be silly. In addition, if you are already a dedicated fountain pen user, you know the perils involved: ink runs out! I like a nice hefty pen for regular use, and I love to use varieties of bottled ink. So filling on the fly is a no-go. These are smallish, light, and don't take up a lot of room, while being a bit harder to misplace than a spare cartridge. The cap fits securely on the end while in use, making it a good sized pen for my admittedly ape-sized hands. All in all, don't hesitate: If you're on the fence, just buy it and try it. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

they are great. So nice to be able to use them. Now days people don't actually use this kind of instruments, they like the "erasable" type.
