Latest Reviews
Sailor Marble Ebonite Professional Gear
This is a lovely old school styled pen. Made from
Ebonite, the two most striking things about it are the swirls of color and
the smell. Read the full review here.
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
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.
