Curidas PKN-7000 Retractable Fountain Pen, 43 Urban Green, Medium Nib, Urban Green, PKN-7000#43-3, Pack of 1

Best new generation

I was pleased to be able to order this pen from Amazon and the delivery time was brilliant. The pen was just what I wanted. However, the description on Amazon stated 'Complimentary converter and cartridge included'. The cartridge was there but there was no converter. This means that I will have to wait to use the pen (I don't like cartridges) until I have ordered a converter and for it to arrive. This is without the fact that on Amazon a converter is another £12.95. To say that I'm disappointed is an understatement and I think the advert is misleading. I'm too fond of the pen to return it. Just be aware buyers that you don't always get what is promised.

This is such a flimsy, fiddly item. The spring is so temperamental that I’ve been unable to get it to work and would like a refund or replacement. There appears no option to do so, despite the fact that the item is faulty. DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM

Fiddly, not intuitive. I would not recommend this pen.

For such a world renowned company I expected big things. Filling is a fiddly task, when fitted together the action is good withdrawing the nib safely in. However they say the nib does not dry out as it's protected, but that for me didn't happen, very disappointing. I will make the best of it, but there are better quality on the market to choose from.

Para el día a día perfecto. Eso sí, no viene con cargador de tinta. Solo un recambio. Compré este modelo con un precio más caro pensando que venía con él y no es así.

I was fascinated by fountain pens with retractable nibs but found them too expensive. On a casual browsing of Amazon this pen popped up. Was immediately smitten by the colours and the affordability. Read a few reviews and decided to purchase it. The shipping from Amazon Global Store was super quick and the pen was with me in about 6 days from order. Was immediately impressed by the build quality, finish and the color of this pen on opening the package. The box is a wastage of plastic. A Huge 19cm x 7.5cm x 4cm box for a pen?!!The box cannot function as a pen case as there is no catch to lock the lid. The box contained the pen on a bed with elastic band, a manual and only a cartridge. There was no "complementary converter" included as advertised in the listing. Though one person in Amazon resorted to initiate a return without solving the issue of missing converter and without my consent, another person was keen to solve it and gave me the cost of the converter as a gift card. Without waiting got the converter. On inking the pen, it writes very smooth. This is a girthy pen and I like thick pens. The click action is indeed a wonderful engineering. Filling ink is a bit of a pain as one has to remove the rear barrel, then release the actual pen from the front section, then again remove it from a metal sleeve before inking it. For writing that too without any nib tuning this is one of the smoothest pen I ever bought. The clip is in the right position and does not impede with holding the pen. There is a small projection under the nib for the hinge of the lid for the nib sleeve, that at least for me is not is an issue to hold the pen. For the wasted plastic of the box, missing converter int the box and inconvenience of taking pen apart to fill ink I have to cut one star

Pióro niezłe ale w opisie przedmiotu był zawarty konwerter. Niestety nie było go w zestawie. Nie lubię jak ktoś mnie oszukuje. Zwróciłem pióro.

Platinum Curidas is an affordable alternative to other known brands of retractable fountain pens! Highly recommended and the “Made In Japan” offers a sense of premium and quality assurance! The engineering is remarkably impressive!

Excellent product and an excellent seller.Highly recommended.
