Scriveiner Pocket Pen Matt Red Fountain Pen - Fine Nib

After ordering and building such a high level of anticipation, I unduly watched my “delivery date” repeatedly be pushed further and further out. That foolish stress prompted me to reach out and express my disappointment, which led to a Corporate refund of the shipping charges and me vowing to “never buy another” and planning to “never use” the New Fountain Pen my heart had so desired.
Ha! I tried, fell in love with and now carry daily. It’s such a wonderful and functional addition to my tote alongs. It looks FANTASTIC with my CRK Large Sebenza 31 w/Box Elder Burl inlay and Insingo blade!
LOVE IT

I find it hard to express my appreciation for Scriveiner EDC Fountain Pens. Indeed for the Classic line of which I am the proud owner of two. I finally pulled the pin on an EDC and was amazed at the ink flow, smoothness of the nib and the fact that it just… keeps on going with no skips. Although it really shouldn’t have surprised me because that’s what I’ve come to expect from my other two Scriveiner.I have had no problems with the screw on cap. It writes well with or without posting. Converter works Ike a charm with my Take Sumi ink my current ink favorite.When I emailed the Customer Service Dan actually answered me within minutes! I am 86 years old and I have had about every fountain pen you can think of. These are my go to. And I have received no compensation aside from the satisfaction of writing with Scriveiner Fountain Pens.Great pen from a great Company. My very highest recommendation.

Great look and feel and function! I will be purchasing more of this pen.

As indicated, the pen looks beautiful and I enjoy using it. After some time of moderate use, the plastic sleeve on the interior of the cap broke, and thus I was unable to screw in the pen at that point. I contacted he customer service for Scriveiner, and was not dissappointed. They were extremely helpful, and quickly setup a replacement order for my pen. Excellent pen and an excellent company.

Wow! The best and most practical fountain pen I have tried in my lifetime. Compact, Smooth, Light, Handy and Elegant. What more can you ask for!

This is the second Scrivener fountain pen that I have purchased. I have also purchased a Scrivener rollerball pen. It has been over two years since I have purchased them, and I have loved them all. The rollerball I use for day-to-day writing. But the fountain pens I use when I want to feel elegant and retro. There is no pen that I have ever had that met my needs better than these pens. I had a question about maintenance for these pens, so I reached out to Scrivener's customer service. And what a surprise was in store for me. Not only did Catherine from customer service answer all my questions, but she also responded very quickly. We texted back and forth within a short time span. I did not have to wait days between emails like I do with other companies. So not only does Scrivener have an excellent product, but they also have customer service who worked hard to make my experience with them a productive one.

First fountain pen I ever bought... and this made me fall in love.The copper color is beautiful and compliments my CRKT CEO Flipper knife very well. The nib is excellently smooth, and writes like a dream. It comes with a converter which is really nice, but honestly, the cartridges have some really great ink in them. The blue is beautiful and dries fast without bleeding or ghosting too much.For the value, this is the sweet spot. VERY Comparable to a few $100 pens I own, at half the price.The weight makes it really easy to use (un-posted) and the feeling of writing with it makes me WANT to use it everyday. This is the perfect size to fit in my Lochby Field Journal and it now goes everywhere with me.Can't go wrong with this one.

Great pen and I love the color! I had an issue with a nib that was not removable, but I contacted customer service and they were able to assist with helpful videos. I ultimately needed a replacement and it arrived very timely and works great!

This pen will improve your penmanship a lot over cruddy ballpoint pens that scratch and don’t write. Enjoy writing again. This pen is a joy.

Very good

It is a great fountain pen—elegant and comfortable in the hand. I have used different brands of fountain pens, and Scrivener is my choice for quality in my writing experience. They write smooth (especially in combination with good-quality inks), look stylish, are quality-made, and have a heavier feel, which is my preference. I would recommend these pens for beginners and experienced fountain pen users alike.Finally, this company cares about providing quality services to its customers.

Best pen ever!

The pen is very elegant, has weight and feels sturdy in the hand. The construction is very nice and the details are superb. The one I bought works best with the converter, which is included with the pen. This is truly a wet noodle, and writes no matter how fast the hand moves. It does not scratch, and entices you to keep writing, as any good fountain pen would do. 5 stars.

This is my first fountain pen ever at 53. I am an information technology and I type all day long. I bought this pen to remember what it felt like to write cursive and to just write. I am so glad that I made the choice to get this particular one. The company is small and I think that's what makes them special. They are not snobby or arrogant. They're truly kind and willing to help.If you want to buy from a factory that makes cookie cutter pens then add 10 times the price I have at it. They've been making pens for years and they're to a point where they're simply just trying to make pens cheaper but not quality anymore. Companies like that don't want your business or need your business, but if you're looking for a status symbol then yeah go ahead and pay the big price. If you want a better pen for less well give these guys a shot for under a hundred bucks. You're not going to go wrong!!!I am going to continue to keep coming back and buy these pens for family and friends as gifts.

i collect fountain pens and this is one of the best that i have purchased - smooth and consistent writing and beautiful looks make it a very good choice at a reasonable price for a luxury pen you can use every day

Smooth writer, solid feels great in my hand. Would buy again.

Muito rápido

me agrado

The pen is weighted and balanced nicely and also writes good with the medium nib. Had a slight issue and reached out to company and they went above and beyond to make things right. I don’t know which is better, the pen or customer service! I will definitely purchase more of their products!

Excellent pen, please don’t hesitate to buy it the price it’s nothing compare to the material I just love my pen I would be buying more soon thank you Scriveiner for you’re great customer service.

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.Hopefully the LAST UPDATE:Another 4 months passed and I could not resist buying the copper pen with fine stainless steel nib. I undertand that this too is actually made of brass. I replaced the fine nib with an extra fine gold-plated Schmidt nib assembly that I bought over the internet. It looks luxurious and is a pleasure to write with. I have not removed the lacquer yet, because I ...

Very nice fountain pen, was worried about function but it works great!

He probado diferentes marcas y sin duda esta se volvió mi favorita, excelente diseño, calidad en material, buen flujo de tinta.

Sehr schöner schwerer Füller
