Brushed Black Forest Fude Pen, Bent Nib Calligraphy Fountain Pen (Fine to Broad) with Converter and Metal Box Set by Asvine

I was looking for a fountain pen to keep in my art/travel bag, and this HongDian pen turned out to be exactly what I needed. It’s not too big or too small, not too heavy or too light—just the perfect balance in both size and weight. The metal body gives it a sturdy, high-quality feel and the overall design is clean and aesthetically pleasing. One of the biggest perks is that it comes with its own converter, allowing you to use any ink you like. I’ve noticed that many fountain pens require you to buy a converter separately, so having it included is a great bonus. I also appreciated the wide variety of colors and nib options to choose from: everything from extra fine to broad, plus the fude nib. I went with the matte black design and the fude nib, which has a bent tip that makes it easy to achieve expressive line variation from thin to thick. It’s a fantastic option for sketching, calligraphy or general writing. If you’re looking for a well-constructed, stylish fountain pen that won’t break the bank, this one is absolutely worth picking up.

I love these pens. The quality is fantastic and they feel durable overall. Ink seems to last longer than expected and feels great in the hand. Love the color options and the different nibs offered. I have purchased three of these and will definitely be picking up more in the future.

to me, this is a very good product, esp. for the low price--a bit slender even for my small hand, but quite sturdy; their nib variety is good, and all versions write well—smooth & silky; this particular fude nib should be used with a slightly "thicker" ink as it flows very freely

Good weight and heft to it. Feels more expensive than it is. Beautiful color. But most importantly, how does it write? It’s comfortable, it fits nicely in my hands, it’s smooth as can be. I went with the bent tip for those nice thick lines and it did not disappoint! I uploaded a sample of writing using Diamine’s Celadon Cat ink.

Excellent pen. The fude nib is smaller/finer than the Sailor fude de mannen pen (which I love). This pen writes and draws beautifully- really impressed. I can easily get lines as fine as any of my “F” nib pens and just as easily I can get wide, broad lines that are like a fat sharpie marker. And it’s a “fast” pen too- no skipping or dryness. Update: been drawing with this pen for days now. It’s rly incredible. It’s the BEST drawing pen I’ve ever used. (And I own abt 8 now, most 2 or 3 times the price of this one!) This pen feels almost like drawing with a brush. Ink flow is fantastic. The fude nib requires almost zero pressure. It is effortless to lay down lines. I love it so much I bought another one.

This is my first bent tip fountain pen! I love the weight and the quality of the pen, and you can’t beat the price! Highly recommend!

The pen is attractive and has a good weight, but I didn't notice that the tip of the nib was broken off and uneven until after I loaded the pen with ink. The pen would be a 5 star thing if this wasn't the case, because it feels very sturdy and useful.

I am so happy I purchased this pen. For many years I have had a love-hate relationship with fountain pens, I have always wanted to use one and have always had problems doing so, being left-handed the ink would always smear. I think the difference with this fountain pen is the nib, for some reason it just makes it easier for me to see what I’m doing without smearing everything, I purchased the brushed Black Forest pen with the fude nib. The weight of the pen is great, it has a little bit of weight to it, but not enough to get uncomfortable when writing. The one I purchased has slight texture around the barrel which makes it easier to hold. It’s just an all-around great pen. I use it for writing letters, writing in my journal, and even for sketching. I have been using Platinum black fountain pen ink with it.

klingt gut müsste aber heißen fein oder breit. Optisch durchaus ansprechbar

PROS • Comfortable to hold and use • Lid closure is firm • Bent nib option writes nicely CONS • Like many pens, the pocket clip is too tight. When I tried to pull it out a bit so it would fit over my pocket, the clip broke off. OVERALL Writes nicely and feels good in the hand, but build quality is a concern based on the flimsy pocket clip.

Chegou bem antes do prazo. Muito bonita, mais pesada do que imaginei passando mais confiança e qualidade ao produto. É minha primeira caneta tinteiro e infelizmente comprei a opção errada. VOCÊ PRECISA ESCOLHER O TIPO DA PONTA DA CANETA!! quando fui comprar estava ocultado essa opção e acabou indo uma ponta grossa que solta bastante tinta e a letra fica achatada. Eu queria a ponta fina.

The pen color and material match with the ads.

Great pen, same Fude tip as Hongdian. 5-7D was out of stock and turns out Asvine is probably the same Co if not same manufacturing as Hongdian. Bought it to replace the Sailor Fude bcs it dries out quickly if you don’t use it for a while. Seal on the cap is not tight I guess.
