ZenZoi Fountain Pen

Wife loves it

When I was a kid my grandma bought me my first fountain pen. A complete disaster! Ink got all over everything, the cartridges didn't fit well and the pen itself left huge blotches of ink all over the paper (user error? probably) and I left with an indelible impression that fountain pens were "old technology" and thank the Heavens that roller balls were available.For some reason, a couple of weeks back, YouTube thought I needed to see a video on the "top ten fountain pens" and for reasons I can't explain and YouTube's AI easily could, I clicked on the link.Here we are with a Zenzoi fountain pen and a fancy bottle of ink from a company named after a mountain and I have had a total blast! I've done more journal writing in the past couple of weeks than I ever have (my poor progeny). It "flows" over the paper. It writes so smoothly that I actually look forward to uncapping my pen and jotting down my thoughts and impressions for the day! I've even practiced tidying up my handwriting a bit.Thank you Zenzoi for helping my hobby of writing become that much more fun. Highly recommend this pen! Started with a Royal Blue ink but now I've transitioned to a Toffey Brown. Tee hee! The little things, friends. Delightful! Great pen! Nice weight and balance. Feels and looks super high quality. Writes like a dream!

this is a very lively pen to write with, I just wished it is slightly larger and perhaps a version that is plastic/resin instead. The nib is perfect for my purpose, if not a tad dry.

Brings me back to my parochial school days, when we all had to use fountain pens. Nice quality pen, which writes smoothly

DID RETURN due to scratchy writing! This pen is such a beautiful shade of yellow. It's a classy pen. However, the pen started to write scratchy, and it felt like nails on a chalkboard after a while. I will say, it feels comfortable in my hand and I tend to hold a pen tightly and that can hurt my finger. The pen feels balanced with the cap on the backside or not on at all when using. The ink didn’t seem to flow like a Fine Nib should. Felt like it could have been an xtra fine maybe.

Fountain pens have been my instrument of choice for decades. My primary pen has been a LAMY studio fountain pen. But I’ve always had back-up fountain pens (when ink would run out in my LAMY and I was on the road, I could quickly switch to my back-up). Well, my back-up recently gave up the ghost. I looked for a not-too-expensive replacement, and decided to take a chance on Zenzoi Yellow Fountain Pen. The reviews seemed too good to be true considering the price point. But with the pandemic, many of us are much more budget-minded than before, so I ordered it.This is a very slim-styled pen, which makes for effortless writing. The nib seems top notch, and the fine point scribes smoothly and accurately on the page. The converter cartridge works perfectly. I’m very pleasantly surprised. I’ve only had this pen a few days and so can’t speak to the pen’s longevity.That said, I have used many, many fountain pens through the years, and this one’s design and operation far exceed its price point. If it lasts a few years, it will be a bargain. Also, this company includes the converter at no extra charge, which honestly every pen maker should do. A converter is the economical and environmental way to go for fountain pens.FOLLOW UP AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS. After using this pen for several months, I have to unfortunately change my rating. The nib will no longer write cleanly on any surface that is not absolutely pristine. I have reloaded ink repeatedly, and have cleaned the nib repeatedly. I use a pump with high quality ink. This is either due to too narrow of a nib on this fine point, or the fact that it's not built for durability and constant use. I bit the bullet and bought myself a new (and much more expensive) Lamy. The pen's price point and styling was apparently too good to be true. I'd stay away from this one and save your extra pennies for a more expensive fountain pen.

I have purchased several fountain pens recently, rediscovering my love for them. This pen is one of my favorites as it writes smoothly and has good ink flow. There is no skipping or scratchiness. Also love the fact that a converter is included. The nib is German made and I believe a Japanese company is the manufacturer, both great IMHO.Moreover, Seazoi, the company that sells it is excellent in its customer service. I am impressed by the product as well as the seller and will not hesitate to purchase from them again.One thing I'd like to see is a petite version with a screw top. That would be perfect.:)

The tip was NOT fine and the pen did not come with 2 ink cartridges. Unfortunate because it was attractive and comfortable to hold.
