oPENions relies on you to supply the reviews! To contribute a review, either send me an e-mail at sonnetude@go.com.

Where to Begin?

New to the world of fountain pens? Why not check out the Beginner's Guide. Everything you ever wanted to know about entry level fountain pens and how to avoid buying the wrong thing.

The Reviews

Like numbers? The pen review spreadsheet provides a collection of Likert scale reviews of pens based on all sorts of characteristics. Add your own numerical review by filling out the pen review form.

Pen weights and measures provides vital statistics of many popular pens.

Under each of the pen manufacturers' sections at left are extensive reviews of some of the top pen models.

I will promptly post reviews to the relevant section of the site. Reviews should be informal and impressionistic.There is no set format. If you wish to include a scanned picture of the pen reviewed, I will post that as well.

While I have listed a number of popular makes of fountain pens, I will gladly add makes as needed.

Please click on the links to the left to see reviews for different pen manufacturers.

Special Sections

Since the demise of Ikonpen, I make available some of the Ikonzine Reviews that would otherwise vanish into the ether. The reviews are culled from Google cached copies.

Where to Go from Here?

The Pen Q&A section takes on some of the biggest myths of pendom. The links section contains a useful portal to the wider world of pendom.
