PelikanTwist Fountain Pen with 1 Ink Cartridge, Medium Nib, Silver, Boxed (947101)

Arrived in great time surprised it came from Germany.Twist writes smooth. Doesn't leak and I love the color. Perfect for a pocket pen or travel pen. Comfortable to hold and write with for longer time. Will be buying another.

I've collected fountain pens in my life and spent tons of money on them, but these inexpensive pens do everything right, without a hiccup. They write well, they don't leak, they're easy to hold, durable, and inexpensive. I love these and bought a few to give as gifts. It's amazing to find something so good.

It works as a writing instrument but it is awkward to hold. The top does not fit well when you put it on the bottom part to write. It also has no clip so you can't just put it in a shirt pocket. The writing is smooth enough.

If you struggle with holding a pen properly when writing, this could be the solution. It is comfortable to hold and the triangular design makes it easy to use the correct grip. If you just want to try using a fountain pen, this is also a great one to try. Make sure to get some extra ink cartridges.

Let me just say, for the cost of this pen, it’s really not a bad pen... for the right user. Alas, I am not that user.I bought the Twist to try and get a feel for Pelikan nibs before I purchased a higher end one. The nib itself is pretty nice for a pen under $15. It’s pretty smooth and the ink flowed very well (I think my ink selection was a bit on the dry side, but I feel like that’s more the ink than the pen).As for its look, I think the rose gold/metallic pink look is super nice. Very cute in this color. The cap snaps tight, but when trying to open it, sometimes the section twists off the pen, which can be annoying, but wasn’t a deal breaker for me.I had concerns from the beginning that I may not enjoy the pen. The angular shape of the section (the place where you hold the pen) makes it uncomfortable to hold. So much so that I get distracted by it. I have a few Lamy Safaris/Al-Stars that I never use for the same exact reason, but on a less distracting level. I am a left handed underwriter (writing with the paper at an angle). I’m wondering if that’s the reason why I don’t like these types of pens or if I just prefer a more round (Cylindrical?) section.Also, one of the features Amazon asked me to rank after the overall was sheerness. “Sheerness?” In the 5 or so years of being a fountain pen enthusiast, I’ve never thought about or seen a discussion about the “sheerness” of a pen. Eh. Maybe something got lost in translation.

Exactly as described. Can be awkward to hold, as the cap doesn’t rest well on the end of the pen whilst writing. This pen really is so beautiful though-I get so many compliments on it. It writes smoothly and consistently every time you pick it up. It even does well with shimmer inks. Absolutely love this pen and recommend for anyone wanting a quality product that won’t break your pocketbook.

This pen has very smooth nib and came with nice dark blue ink.Unfortunately holding it in a way so that it will write is very uncomfortable.I tried different grips without success. I even gave it to one of my daughters who is left handed to try.( The pen is advertised as good for both right and left handed people. )She didn't like it either.I think the problem is caused primarily by bad design. Pen that have similar thick triangular grip that have solved the adjustment issue is the Sailor Tuzu Adjust that allows the nib to be rotated in 10 degree steps.That pen is however 2.5 times more expensive ... If you are looking for entry level pen and want to avoid bad surprises get Pilot Kakuno or Platinum Preppy.

It’s a lightweight pen, comfortable to hold, and it writes smoothly. I’ll probably buy another with a fine nib because this one (medium) was certainly a good purchase.

Com um design um tanto díspar das canetas comuns. Esta tem sua característica mais marcante o formato que garante uma boa pega na posição correta para se escrever com uma tinteiro. Fluxo de tinta excelente não deixando falhas por áreas finas ou com pouca pressão. Tão boa de escrever que fiquei até mais prolixo nos textos escritos a mão só para prolongar o prazer da boa escrita. Recomendo sem sombra de dúvida.

super indico

Caneta leve, design inovador e criativo dando destaque à mesma! Escrita suave e boa pega da caneta

The difference between M nib and F nib. M nib has more detail indeed.

Ótima pegada, bom material e escrita precisa.
