Platinum PKN-7000#43-3 Fountain Pen, Curidus, Urban Green, Medium Point

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

Love this pen, EF purchased and it's around a 0.5mm line width, no scratching just nice and smooth. The Mechanism protects the nib at a simple click, similar to Vanishing point, just in plastic. I've bought another as they're so good. Platinum black ink provided is amazing. As someone who loves fountain pens, has a few pricey models, I love this for simple clean note taking and for the pretty unique opening mechanism.

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.

Anche se chiusa, l'inchiostro si secca e devo lavarla per scrivere. L'impugnatura ha una parte sporgente in plastica che trovo fastidiosa durante la scrittura.

I'm still a beginner fountain pen user but I'm really impressed with this! It LOOKS beautiful and has a decent weight to it. It's a much more affordable retractible fountain pen than the Vanishing Point. I have the extra fine nib which is clear and sharp. I can get an even finer point if I turn the nib around (facing down) when I write. The retraction mechanism works really nicely and is smooth. It's so convenient! I'm using a Platinum ink cartridge which was very easy to install. I look forward to using my own inks with a converter. I'm so glad I bought this!

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