Scriveiner Luxury EDC Fountain Pen (Medium), Stunning Matt Green Pocket Pen, Chrome Finish, Schmidt German Nib, Converter, Best Writing Pen Gift Set for Men & Women, Nice Fancy Office Designer Pen

I bought the "Black with Gold" option with the Fine nib. It weighs about 27 grams with the cap and 13 grams uncapped or unposted. (As a comparison, my Kaweco AL Sport pen weighs 23 and 14 grams respectively.) It is made of aluminium that is electroplated and covered with some protective coating. It looks gorgeous. At first it was too slippery in my hand, but over a number of days it started to feel alright. It is not yet as comfortable in the hand as my 30 years old, like new Harley-Davidson -- I had two of them and this one I had not used until about a month ago.My previous favorite pens were the above mentioned Harley-Davidson and an equally old Feraud. Both have a medium (or a little wider) nib and slide extremely smoothly on paper. When I want thinner, more precise lines, I turn the pens 180 degrees around and write with the back side of the nib. Both of these pens slide perfectly in this reverse mode. The Fine Schmidt nib of the Scriveiner writes a little thinner than the other two in the reverse mode, slides perfectly on paper and is a pleasure to write with. Even though I have absolutely no need for an even thinner line, I tried to write with the reversed nib, but it gets very scratchy.I find the length of the unposted Scriveiner (11.6 cm) perfect in my hand, just like the Harley-Davidson's 11.4 cm. Both take the 73 mm LONG standard WATERMAN INK CARTRIDGES -- this is a major advantage in my usage and this fact does not seem to be advertised, at least not clearly enough. Of course, one can use the widely available 38 mm standard cartridges in both and the Scriveiner comes with a very well engineered 'converter' included. Feraud and Kaweco are shorter (10 cm each) and they need to be posted for comfortable writing. (Capped, they are all about the same length.)Speaking of ink. I wanted to match the black Scriveiner with the Intense Black ink of Waterman and use the Serenity Blue ink of Waterman in my dark blue Harley-Davidson. Unfortunately, the black ink of Waterman does not flow well in the Fine feather/nib of my Scriveiner. Every now and then I have to press relatively harder on the paper to get the ink flowing again! On a hunch, I swapped the inks around and put the blue cartridge in the Scriveiner. Now it is faultless!!! The added benefit is that the black ink in Harley-Davidson leaves a slightly less wet line on the paper -- just the way I like it.AN UPDATE:About two months later, I bought the "Silver with Gold" option with the Fine nib. This is made of brass, as opposed to the aluminium "Black with Gold". The aluminium and brass pens weigh about 27 and 49 grams with the cap and 13 and 30 grams uncapped or unposted respectively. Interestingly, the "silver" version is less slippery between my fingers than the black version. Otherwise, both have identical dimensions.What I did not know when I wrote the original review is that this pen can carry two (2!) 38 mm standard cartridges simultaneously -- one connected to the ink feeder in the normal position and the other in the reverse direction behind it. I read this in another review by chance. I very much like this feature, because when one cartridge runs empty I simply switch them around immediately and replace the empty cartridge later at a convenient time. None of my other pens accommodates two 38 mm cartridges simultaneously!FURTHER UPDATE:Another 5 months passed and I bought the brass pen with fine nib. Now I have a collection of three pens. I do not like to have my brass pens covered with fake paint decoration and lacquer. I prefer the look and feel of bare polished brass.So, I removed the lacquer with very fine sandpaper and polished the pen with a universal metal polishing paste. The only place I did not touch was the grip section, because polished brass is more slippery than the lacquer of Scriveiner pens. The result is shown in the attached photos in the middle of the chrome and black anodised pens.I found that the Schmidt stainless steel F nib wrote a little too wet for my taste and replaced it with a gold plated EF Schmidt nib. It writes now a little less wet, but I cannot see the line being any thinner. Maybe it is just a little thinner, but not by much. On the positive side, it is not scratchy at all.From the point of view of writing or gripping comfort, my favourite version is now the gold-look-alike polished brass pen, followed closely by the chrome and gold version. The black anodised aluminium pen is still too slippery (and a little too light) for my taste. But this is just a relative assessment within the Scriveiner group. All three are excellent pens.

First off, I would like to say how much I’ve enjoyed this pen so far. I purchased the Copper EDC fountain pen and it has been nothing short of amazing. Not only was the finish itself impressive, but the writing ability was top tier.I want to really want to give a big thanks to Scriveiner and their customer service. I mistakenly let my pen roll off of my desk which ended up bending the nib to the point where the ink would no longer flow through it. I reached out to Scriveiner and they responded super fast and already sent a new pen my way in less than a day. Most companies won’t cover user error like that which is why I am so thankful for Scriveiner.If you are in the market for a quality fountain pen, then I 100% recommend any Scriveiner pens because you’ll be receiving nothing but great quality pens and amazing customer service.

My first fountain pen was the Kaweco Sport. I loved the compact style and the ability to throw it in my pocket and not worry about it leaking.Last year, I was starting a new phase in life and thought I would commemorate it with a nicer pen, found this one and it fit the bill nicely. It wrote smoothly, was balanced, looked classy, and had some heft while keeping the compact size and the security to carry it the same as my favorite Kaweco.While my pen collection grew, I kept this one as my daily driver and it never left my notebook. From the beginning I noticed that when I would twist off the cap it would slightly open the ink chamber as well, I thought it was user error, but it kept occurring.Last month I contacted the company to see if there was a quick fix to keep this from happening. With in 10 minutes, a representative contacted me back, diagnosed the issue and started the process of sending me a new pen. My new one works perfectly and has no signs of the same issue.I love the pen, but this company has done even better standing behind their products.Additional Thoughts:In the pen forums, I have seen many saying that this is just a repackaged and marked up cheap pen and to just get the Hongdian at half the price. While they are similar, they are completely different. I do like the rubber ring at one of the threads to keep it better sealed, but otherwise, the EDC is a much petter pen.This became clear when I accidentally washed a Hongdian in my pocket the other day and when I pulled the it out, my hand was covered in ink. Water was dripping from the finial and when I opened it up and blew into the cap, I found out it was not air tight. I tried this on my Scriveners and they didn't budge a bit. I feel much more comfortable carrying these on a daily basis.
