Customer Reviews
Like how they write.
Gift to niece. She is a ball point user. She may convert.
It's great to keep in the car. Got one for my wife for work she loves it.
A number of years ago I was able to routinely find these Pilot single use fountain pens at my local variety store. I used these at work and especially liked the red ink pens for marking up documents my engineers would submit for review. (I don't think they liked the pens tho!) Then for some reason the stores stopped carrying them and I was unable to find them elsewhere. I was very happy to find these again at Goulet Pens. These pens are perfect for routine use, recording data and casual writing. The steel nibs flow well and are the best I've used. Now if Goulet could only make the red ink pens available for individual purchase I'd be content.
I bought this pen and a couple other pens to try. The price was good and I was really surprised by how smoothly it wrote. An excellent inexpensive pen!
