What the F*#!
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Style: Fine tip
This pen is ridiculous! Next day, $8, whatever. I'll buy it. WOW! This pen is SO MUCH better than deserved for the price. It's not the best pen out there, but it's good enough for everyday. It has; solid interface, fits all of the "good parts", costs almost nothing, balanced weight, doesn't scream "steal me", looks "professional", writes VERY smooth with the ink cartridge I transplanted, and it's Goldilocks size dimensions. I didn't use the Amazon ink, so that might be a factor, but it's far better than you have a right to expect from it. Nothing fancy, just the right stuff. Buy it. Buy it now. 2 months update: The nib is almost ruined, but not quite. I'm searching for a suitable replacement. It's been a really good nib that nothing else has been able to performance match so far, and I've been really using it. Hours a day, every day, and pretty much all day weekends. I've researched to find that it's very long lived under the circumstances I've used it. The ink still flows rather well, and line is consistent, but the contact surface is flat. I've literally worn it out in 2 months. Let me remind though, that was almost constant use. It held up wonderfully. I'd buy another, but the feed and body are almost mint. I've been thinking about it though. The pen is that good, and it's about $10. I really wish Amazon Basics would make one in solid raw brass with a screw cap. That would be my grail pen. More than a year later: The replacement nib is still going strong, and it's a cheap jinhao. I was chatting with an AI chatbot about it, and it said that constant 24h writing should take years to decades to wear out the nib, and it was obviously defective. I had no idea, i figured using it that much would definitely wear it out. If that's a concern of yours, then be advised. AI often doesn't know what is talking about though. The rest of the pen is still going strong, and it's my favorite pen. I've actually been searching for information on who makes it for Amazon, and even tried to commission a custom pen to resolve the things i wish were different, with no luck. There's apparently no other pen like it at all.

Good Basic Pen
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Style: Fine tip
Many of my fellow artist s have been using fountain pens for drawing and sketching. Since it's been decades since I used one for writing, I thought I'd buy a less expensive pen to try for this new purpose. While I had trouble getting the cartridge to open and begin to flow, with some ingenuity, I got it to work. I'm very happy with the results so far. The ink flows, even on watercolor paper, and has not clogged or messed up yet. Still experimenting with it, but for the price I am very pleased.

Surprisingly good writer for the price!
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Style: Medium point
I admit, I bought this mostly out of curiosity. I found myself wondering, "How good could an Amazon Basics fountain pen actually be?" The answer turned out to be: surprisingly good. Now, don't get me wrong, this isn't the same quality as a $200 pen with a gold nib. But I would argue it writes just as well as some of the popular entry-level pens like a Platinum Preppy or a Pilot Kakuno. The nib is smooth and silky right out of the box, and I haven't had any issues with "hard starts" where the ink doesn't want to flow. The only thing to note is the sizing. I ordered a medium nib, but it definitely writes a bit more like a broad. That doesn't bother me because it makes a lovely, thick line, but it is something to be aware of if you write small. For around $10, it feels substantial in the hand and looks professional enough to take into a meeting. If you are looking for a starter pen to see if you like fountain pens, this should definitely be on your shortlist. In short: An incredible value for the money. It writes smoothly and feels solid, though the medium nib runs a little thick.

Not A Good Writer
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Style: Medium point
This pen is good looking and feels good in the hand, but after it sits over night it is very difficult to get the ink flowing, and once it starts flowing it skips a lot. Also it is rather picky about the kinds of paper it will write on, especially eschewing shiny paper such as magazine pages. I am a newbie to fountain pens and bought this as an inexpensive way to try one out and learn why some people still like them. At the same time I bought another inexpensive brand, the Pilot Kakuno. The Kakuno is not as handsome as the Amazon Basic, but it costs even less, the ink starts flowing fast, it rarely skips and it is far more tolerant of different kinds of paper. It's way better.

Stylish, cheap, but fundamentally flawed
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Style: Medium point
It's a $10 fountain pen and writes like one. The good: feels good in the hand and looks stylish. The feed is pretty good too. My go-to ink is Mont Blanc because its not too thin or too think and works well in most pens. This pen had no peoblem feeding the ink evenly with no over- or under-feeding. The bad: slightly sloppy fit for ink cartridges which can lead to a mess if the ink isnt on securly. And scratchy on paper. Scratchyness can be fixed is you have a steady hand, a good eye, and can learn how to adjust a nib, but out of the box it was a bad experience because it didn't glide over the paper smoothly. I can't speak for longevity as I didn't continue using it.

The Fountain pen for literally anyone
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Style: Medium point
The Amazon Basics Fountain Pen is the workhorse pen for the people. All metal, heavy for its size yet sleek... like a well fitted tux. It's the pen you take to the bank to finalize that loan, the student filling out applications for work. This pen is not luxury but feels luxurious and proud to be such. The "New Dad" Pen... the First day in a new office job... the Gift a good wife gives with a pocket notebook not because its his birthday but just because.. The nib is buttery smooth, the cap post cleanly, Capping the pen at the end *SNAP!* Crisp. International short cartridges are cheap and plenty of different color options. I would give this pen to litterally anyone new or experienced... it just WORKS!

For all fountain pen lovers.
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Style: Fine tip
I did a dumb thing, not thinking. I bought an inexpensive journal and then tried my new pen on it. It felt scratchy and the ink didn't flow properly. I thought I would have to return this pen until, duh, I tried it on several different qualities of paper. The problem was that this particular cheap paper had a wash of ivory color that was making the pen feel scratchy and the ink flow not optimal. I think that would be so for any colored paper. Because this pen is delightfully inexpensive and I was giving it a first try, I assumed the pen was the problem. Not so. It writes very smoothly on the choice of finer, white paper. Those of us who love fountain pens know the bliss of a smooth writing pen and such a pen deserves the investment in good paper. I'm just lucky I thought of it before returning a perfectly good pen. Leave the colored paper for ball point or pencil.
