Parker Jotter Originals Fountain Pen, Classic Finish, Medium Nib, Blue & Black Ink

I always hear how the Lamy Safari is the best beginner’s fountain pen, and it’s a safe bet, but this pen beats the Lamy in more than one thing. First, it’s almost half the price. Second, it’s the size of a regular ballpoint pen, making it a natural transition for a beginner’s grip, plus it fits those journal leather pen loops that most fountain pens don’t, making it also a great EDC pen. Third, it’s plastic, but it doesn’t feel as plasticky as the Lamy Safari. So is it too good to be true? No, the ink flow is as expected for this price range, and it will start skipping after a long writing session (it’s still better than the Kaweco Sport, a very popular, and pricier, EDC pen). The M nib is almost a B, so if you don’t like thick lines, you’d better off with another option. Also, I think Parker inks are not very good, so while I appreciate it comes with two cartridges, I suggest that for a better experience you toss them out. There are more expensive versions of this pen, but it’s not worth it, the quality it’s still the same, you’ll be better off buying a converter and an ink bottle for this one, if you feel like you could spend a little extra. This has turned out to be a great EDC pen for me, and I use it more than any fountain pen I own, for that, I give it 5 stars.

Nothing fancy but it writte well, medium nib is really medium , writte smooth. For the price is a good everyday user

Caneta muito leve e com corpo plástico de baixíssima qualidade. Não imaginava que a Parker fazia canetas de brinquedo. Caneta bonitinha, mas só isso. Não vale 1/5 do preço cobrado.

penna bellissima, scrive una magnificenza, la consiglio vivamente.

Écrit bien, léger et fin on peut le glisser partout
