Clear Demonstrator Fude/stub nib/rainbow nib fountain pen for Calligraphy, Signatures, Journaling. Transparent fountain pen (Stub 1.1)

I'm a great fan of Fude nibs for sketching and using in line and wash work. ( I find once one has the hang of altering the angle of the pen to paper to vary line width they are the easiest way to get the desired variety of line in one's work - especially if one tends to be heavy handed. )So when I found a UK maker using Chinese parts to make inexpensive fude pens I had to have one. I already own many Fude pens ranging from the expensive Dukes through to the cheap Jinhaos so not only knew what I wanted and but also had plenty to compare it to.The attractive transparent pen body is wonderfully light, allows one to instantly see the ink level and takes a decent amount of bottled ink with the supplied converter. It sits very comfortably in the hand and changing nib angle is far easier than with either the Jinhao 101 or the Sailor fude. The nib and feed are impressive and outperform these too. This nib is tremendously smooth and responsive and the pen delivers the perfect amount of ink when sketching - neither too wet or dry - so one can concentrate on drawing.I think its light weight and small size will be great for en plein air use - the Jinhao's are heavy and the Sailor is inconveniently long to carry - so I'm delighted.Furthermore it was beautifully presented with full instructions, a free cartridge and even a complimentary tea bag and little origami swan. This is a great pen from a good seller and I highly recommend both.Update -After more use I have just ordered a second one of these to carry about - one for black or grey and one for brown or dark red as I like them so much.

Nice and versatile pen for both calligraphy and in my case drawing for. I am new to fude nibs, so still trying to get the hang of it. Sometimes it feels a bit dry but it might be due to the ink I’m using. The pen came in a lovely tin with a cartridge and a converter, a very pleasant surprise.There was a problem with my parcel being delivered to my neighbor which in the end was resolved and had nothing to do with Amazon or the seller. But I contacted the seller, and they were super nice and courteous, I would definitely recommend and buy from them again.

I've only given it a quick road test and I'm fairly new to 'Fude' pens, but I like it so far. I use the much heralded Sailor Fude pen, which I love, but I like a few things about this one. It's a nicer looking pen, I like the pen top that can clip into pocket and it prevents it rolling when you put it on a surface. The very fine line works really well though you can't get a line quite as thick as with the Sailor. I've read comments that it clogs up after inactivity but that's true of any pen like, this, especially if you use a thicker, quick drying fountain pen ink more appropriate for illustrators.I normally draw with a nib dip pen, but these are perfect for use when travelling, It's great to still get the variety of line I get with these pens.The tin it comes in is useful and the free tea bag and piece of origami it comes with is a nice, quirky touch.I will definately use this company again.

Comfortable pen for sketching, creates both fine and wide lines. Clear casing let's you see ink levels and if nib is leaking.

I’m not experienced at using fude nib pens, so I bought this after being encouraged by a previous review. Delivery was quick. The pen itself comes with an ink cartridge so you can use it right away. An adapter is included, as well as a neat hinged metal case for the pen, so this makes the whole package brilliant value for money. The pen glides effortlessly across the page and I’m enjoying using it to draw and learn this new technique.

This is a lovely pen, comfortable, light and writes well. However, there is an imperfection within the feed section leading to flooding.

Arrived quickly. Nicely packaged, with a teabag too!

I am experimenting with watercolour and ink drawings, these were inexpensive and do produce a nice variety of lines, the filling mechanism needed a couple of pulls first time, but now work perfectly.
