Stationery Review 283 - Online Fountain Pen from WriteSpoke

Hi Friends, 

Thanks to WriteSpoke Store in South Africa for sending this Online Fountain Pen. This is the first time I have had an Online Branded fountain pen. The nib is really great and writes beautifully. The ink flow is awesome. This pen comes with an ink cartridge that can be used in this pen, and also the same can be used in Lamy pens if used from the other side. Check it out!

Online is a German brand targeted at students and young adults alike. The brand was founded in 1991 by a family business led by Thomas and Alexandra Batsch in  Neumarkt. Currently, they have a staff of 100+ people, and their writing instruments are available in more than 56 countries. 

This particular pen can definitely be compared with the Platinum Preppy and Pilot Kakuno and all the other entry-level variants that have gained popularity in the pen community. The plastic body design, the dual tone colours, the steel nib, the ink flow, the metallic clip, the ink window, various body colours, lightweight and the bigger body size, etc, work in favour of this pen. 

Due to the silicon grip, this pen won't last as long as the other ones, so it's the only factor that's hampering the growth. The target market for this pen is also the students so that it can be used and thrown away though any adults can use it years on years for sure.

Stationery Review 269 - Parker Folio Fountain Pen (F) INR 450

Hi Friends,

I bought this Parker Folio Fountain Pen in India for INR 450, thinking it would be better than the Parker Vector Fountain Pen. It's a pen that is only to showcase rather than to write because, somehow, the quality has disappointed me for sure. I never felt like that, even with the Parker Jotter Kensington Fountain Pen as well as the Parker Vector, which I have been using for more than 20 years now, the same pen. Check it out!

Parker Folio has been manufactured to take on the Indian markets, but there are better pens out there in this price range. Only if you are enthusiastic to get the steel body design, then you will be attracted to the same, but then the grip and feed section has only 3-4 threads, which, as told by one of the viewers it died very quickly on his Parker Folio pen. I also don't intend to keep this pen, and I will give it to someone who is celebrating their birthday etc.

Stationery Review 225 - Platignum Studio Fountain Pen (M) GBP 13

Hi Friends, 

Platignum Studio Fountain Pen in Medium nib is priced at GBP 13 at Hamilton Pen Company in the United Kingdom. Check them out! 

This pen is really great in all the different body colours it comes in. If you buy the whole package, then you can even do a barrel of one colour and a cap of another. The clip is in pen nib design, and the nib is made from steel and writes okay. This is a perfect starter fountain pen from Platignum Pens. The trims on all Platignum pens is black and it looks great. 

I have a range of Platingum pens that I have showcased in my videos.

Stationery Review 224 - Parker Frontier Fountain Pen and Pencil Set (ZAR 200)

Hi Friends, 

I bought this fountain pen and pencil set from Facebook Marketplace, and this one is a Parker Frontier. This used to be an entry-level after the Parker Vector range. The one I got is in a nice, transparent, dark green body design and writes beautifully. 

The new variants of Parker Frontier are not available in South Africa, but I can see them in India at around ZAR 125 for only the fountain pen. It's available in various trims and body colours like brown, red, black, matte black, etc. I am not so sure if it's available at Sandton Stationery & Print, but if you ask them, they can definitely bring it for you. The price might be a little bit higher as these models are long gone in South Africa.

Stationery Review 140 - Diamine Livid Lime Fountain Pen Ink from Cult Pens @CultPens

Hi Friends, 

I got this amazing neon-coloured ink named Diamine Livid Lime from Cult Pens. This ink looks great and fresh as the newly grown leaves but I felt it's not that legible on the paper. Check it out! 

This ink feels really fresh just like the tree leaves when they are newly grown. The ink is really nice for your drawings or doodling. This is not a legible ink on paper but really nice to highlight your notes or points where you want to draw attention. 

Link to video - https://youtu.be/uLMKEBzIaxA

Some of these inks are available at Sandton Stationery & Print shop in Sandon City. Some more colours are available at Applebee Pens in Johannesburg and the WriteGear store in Cape Town. These are also available at WriteSpoke and WriteGear Online Stores as well. The price of these inks is around ZAR 100 for a 30ml bottle.

Stationery Review 139 - Diamine Violet Fountain Pen Ink from Cult Pens @CultPens

Hi Friends, 

Thanks to Cult Pens for bringing a lot of Diamine Inks in this small bottle avatar of 12ml each. It's a perfect size to test out all the inks. Check this Diamine Violet if you like the same.

 

I bought the 16 fountain pen ink (12ml bottles) pack from the Cult Pens Online Store in the United Kingdom. This is the 3rd ink that I have reviewed from the package. Slowly and steadily I will bring you all the inks from Diamine. 

This particular ink is totally different from the ones I have from other brands. We can also analyze if you need to buy the pack of inks that come just like that or if you should invest directly in the ones you love. 

Link to video - https://youtu.be/x40kTheTmvc

Some of these inks are available at Sandton Stationery & Print shop in Sandon City. Some more colours are available at Applebee Pens in Johannesburg and the WriteGear store in Cape Town. These are also available at WriteSpoke and WriteGear Online Stores as well. The price of these inks is around ZAR 100 for a 30ml bottle.

Stationery Review 127 - Jinhao Shark (F) Fountain Pen (WriteSpoke) ZAR 55

Hi Friends, 

Thanks to WriteSpoke for giving me this Jinhao Shark (F) Fountain Pen in Milk Tea colour. I really loved the colour and got the same in Fine Nib. The same comes with an ink converter as well so that you can fill it with your favourite ink colours. You can also buy all of them and fill them in the same colour as the body of the pens. The pen doesn't feel cheap and has a nice writing experience as well. The nib felt medium in my view as you will see in the video as well. 

Product Details

• Exquisite shark design: this Jinhao shark fountain pen features a delicate casing made of durable ABS plastic, making the pen more lightweight, and suitable for most people.
• Length: 155 mm, cap: Screw-type, nib size: Fine nib, the nib is made of stainless steel, and wear-resistant features make it less likely to loosen and fall off. The Jinhao pen is equipped with a screw-type converter, you can use bottled ink or 2.6 mm disposable ink cartridges, ink not included for safety.
• The seamless transition of colours creates a mesmerizing visual effect that sparks inspiration and ignites creativity. This shark writing pen is sure to leave a lasting impression.
• Practical gift: You can use these beautiful fountain calligraphy pens as nice gift choices for your friends, parents, students, teachers, neighbours and colleagues, which are very practical in their daily life; and they will be happy to receive these thoughtful gifts.

WriteSpoke has a deal as well where you can buy all 12 pens for ZAR 550 as compared to each for ZAR 55. I really loved this unique design and this is a perfect one to initiate your kids or loved ones into the hobby of fountain pens. This pen is like Pilot Pluminix as it doesn't have clips but the fins of the Shark save the pen from rolling down. This pen can be used capped and uncapped. The pen is elongated on the cap side to create a shark face, eyes and gills. This pen can also be created into different shapes if you take out the cap. I have seen the same in the SWAN edition as well from Jinhao. Overall, this is a pen you must have as a collector and the nib is really a smooth writer.

Stationery Review 126 - Jinhao Safari 619 (F) Fountain Pen (WriteSpoke) ZAR 65

Hi Friends, 

I got these Jinhao Safari 619 Fountain Pens in Fine nib from WriteSpoke. I got the same in Transparent Blue Colour. I do have Lamy Safari Fountain Pen as well and this one is almost the same. The cost of owning this pen is around only ZAR 65 whereas the other starts around ZAR 420 and Lamy special editions are priced around ZAR 540. The quality of plastic is good in these pens and the only difference is the clip which is a little bit shorter in Jinhao Safari. Lamy Safari doesn't come with an Ink converter which is a huge disappointment as you have to spend an extra ZAR 120 to buy one but here in Jinhao Safari 619, it comes at the same price as ZAR 65 only. 

WriteSpoke quality for these Jinhao pens is top-class which I compared with the ones I bought from Ali Express as well. If you want me to showcase the issues I found with Ali Express, I can shoot the same for one of the pens I have from them and one from WriteSpoke. This one comes in plastic packaging and if you have a pen case then it's great to keep all of them together. 

Product Details

✅ Elegant Design - The pen adopts a classic streamlined shape and Macaron colour design, and the sturdy metal clip helps you attach the pen to a notebook or uniform pocket.

✅ Smooth Writing - Equipped with an Iridium Fine Nib, it writes like silk, smoothly, constantly, and utterly non-scratchy, suitable for daily writing or calligraphy writing.

✅ Well-Balanced Writer - The Pen only weighs 15.8g / 0.56 ounces. You can use it for long hours of writing without getting tired. It is also equipped with a 3.4mm converter for instant access to bottled ink.

✅ Craftmanship - Each pen was manually assembled and individually trial-written test by a craftsman for flawless quality before sending it out, and there may be a little ink residue on the nib.

WriteSpoke has deals if you want to buy all the 12 variants of different colours then the same are priced at ZAR 650 for all of the 12 colours (ZAR 54 for each pen). WriteSpoke has nib sizes for Fine and Extra Fine for this version of the fountain pen. They also have 5 Dark and 5 Light colour variants as well for ZAR 300 each for each pack means that each cost just ZAR 60 then. 

My observation is that this is really a great initiation into the world of fountain pens and you can fill then the colours with different inks. I will propose that you get 2 first in both nib sizes (F & EF) and then buy the rest of the colours or if you are familiar with Jinhao nibs then directly order 12 of them. If you don't like any colour then share or gift it to someone close to also get them into a good writing experience using Fountain Pens.

Stationery Review 121: Muji Aluminium Round Body Fountain Pen (F)

Hi Friends,

I bought this Muji Fountain Pen from DLF Mall of India in Noida, India for INR 1590. The same is available around USD 20 in international markets. I really loved the design of the same. Check it out!

The best part about this pen is that it's just 8 grams in weight but feel really premium. I also fell in love with the fine nib that really feels like a Samurai's sword when you are writing on the paper.

Stationery Review 120: Helix Oxford Fountain Pen Medium Nib (ZAR 201)

Hi Friends, 

Thanks to Loot.co.za for selling this Helix Oxford Fountain Pen in medium nib with 1 ink cartridge in blue coloured ink. The same I got for around ZAR 201. The better version is Pilot MR Range of Fountain Pens which I also got for ZAR 200 earlier from Sandton Stationery & Print shop last year. Now the same has been priced at ZAR 250 and it's a much better pen than this one. Check it out! 

The Helix Oxford Fountain Pen is available in multiple colours and the same is available at Takealot for around ZAR 179. Please see if you like this one or the Pilot Metropolitan Fountain Pen.

Stationery Review 98: Montex Bouncy Fountain Pen (INR 50)

Hi Friends, 

I really liked this Montex Bouncy Fountain Pen (INR 50) which comes in my favourite Yellow colour and the demonstrator body design. I filled the same with Diamine Writer's Blood Fountain Pen ink to give the body a contrasting effect. 

This is really a good quality pen as compared to others in Montex Student and Handy range of fountain pens. The same is priced Rs 10 more than the others as this is MRP INR 50. Check it out! I will definitely buy this one in other body colours as well. This is really like a clear demonstrator pen that I really loved.

Stationery Review 95: Flair Inky Woody Fountain Pen (INR 60)

Hi Friends, 

I bought this Flair Inky Woody Fountain Pen for INR 60 which is almost 12-15 ZAR. This is a perfect fountain pen with ink cartridges and ink converter packed into the packaging. Check it out! 

This particular pen I have been using this since the day I made this video and filled it thrice already with the same Diamine Soft Mint ink. This is a perfect pen in case you want to buy only one. It offers ink cartridges as well as an ink converter. I didn't use the cartridges that came with this pen as I wanted to match the colour of the pen cap with the ink which I was able to do successfully.

Stationery Review 94: Classmate Octane Fountain Pen (INR 40)

Hi Friends, 

I bought this Classmate Octane Fountain Pen due to the neon colour it brings in but the writing experience is not good with this one. Bought the same for INR 40 but it's a waste amongst other pens available at the same price range. There is no fun in writing with this fountain pen. 

After using this pen, other than the attractive neon colours this pen comes in there is no benefit of buying and wasting your money on this fountain pen. There are much better pens available in the market from other brands by just spending Rupees 10 extra, especially the Unomax Executive Fountain Pen. This pen should be priced at Rupees 20-25 then it will make a little bit of cost sense otherwise, I won't recommend anyone to buy this pen.

Stationery Review 93: Platinum Prefounte Fountain Pen (Night Sea) ZAR 200

Hi Friends, 

After the Platinum Preppy Fountain Pens, I bought this Platinum Prefounte Fountain Pen in Night Sea body colour. The ink that it came in was Blue Black ink. I am not a fan of Blue Black ink. This has a better body than the Platinum Preppy which is half the price of this pen. 

The pen looks much better than the Platinum Preppy with the metal clip though the ink cartridge is standard across all the Platinum range of pens. The unique glossy pen body looks too good in your hands and is definitely comparable to the Lamy Safari Fountain Pens that are available in so many colours. 

This pen is also available at Sandton Stationery & Print shop in Sandton City, Johannesburg, South Africa along with all the ink colours available for you to enjoy in cartridge format.

Stationery Review 91: Monami Olika Fountain Pens (EF & F Nib) £2

Hi Friends,

Thanks a lot for the sale on the Cult Pens UK website and the fountain pens forums I am part of for introducing me to the world of Monami Olika. These are some of the best nibs in EF and Fine in the GBP 2 (ZAR 50) price range. 

I have never seen anything so smooth at this price range. Thanks a lot to Cult Pens and also to my friend who brought it from London to South Africa for me. These are perfect for those who are starting their hobby of using Fountain Pens. These are definitely comparable to the Platinum Preppy Fountain Pens as well.

Stationery Review 88: Luxor Ink Glide Fountain Pens

Hi Friends, 

Thanks to Luxor for bringing all the brands from around the world to India. I am really thankful to get some of them showcased for all of you to watch. Thanks and check out these Fluid Fountain Pens named Luxor Ink Glide which comes in various plastic barrels and colours. Check them out. 

I am using a Luxor Ink Glide fountain pen using the Pelikan 4001 Violet Ink into one of the ink cartridges using a syringe. The pen was a little scratchy when I first started using the same but now over the time of 1-2 weeks, the same is now running smoothly in my hands. I love the colour of ink that I used inside the same and also this being the Fine or Extra fine nib though it's not written on the nib.

Stationery Review 51: Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-Budo Fountain Pen Ink (50ml) for ZAR 525

Hi Guys,

I bought my most expensive fountain pen ink from Pilot iroshizuku range of inks from the Stationery & Print shop in Sandton city for ZAR 525 only. The ink is nice if you are looking for Magenta, a combination of pinkish-purplish-red. The price of this ink keeps on changing and currently hanging around ZAR 640 for a 50ml bottle. 

On the RGB and CMY colour models, it is the colour between red and blue. I loved this colour and this is one of the best inks in the Pilot Iroshizuku range.

The packaging looks really premium as per the price of the ink. The bottle is really slim and unique and looks great on your desk. Pilot Inks are really premium quality inks. 

I will definitely buy some more inks in 20ml bottles that will really be helpful as compared to these bigger 50ml ones. 

If you look at the colour of the ink on the paper, you will feel that this is a darker pink kind of colour. If I put some distilled water into this ink, it will turn into a pink colour for sure. I am going to buy distilled water to make some of the darker shades lighter. I really love this colour as it's magenta colour and really looks great on the paper. I have been using this ink daily. I am considering this ink for the most expensive fountain pen I have bought recently.

Stationery Review 38: Fountain Pen and Pencil For ZAR 30 Only

Hi Guys, 

Thanks for watching all my videos. I went to Mellows F09 Shop in China Mall and found this pencil and fountain pen set for ZAR 30. I wanted to check on these Lead pencils in the form of pens and how they work. Once the lead is gone the pencil is gone too but you can buy the leads separately. The fountain pen is a Lamy lookalike but the quality will never match the original Lamy Safari Fountain Pens. From a writing perspective, the pen flow is nice, the nib is also good and the fountain pens are an easy mechanism if you think about replicating. 

Do visit the China Mall and go to Mellows Shop at F09 in the new area of the mall. You will definitely find a lot of new products that you will like a lot.
