The Fountain Pen Network > Pen Review Requests

Greetings,

I have created this topic for those of you who would like to request specific pen reviews from FPN members. Basically, you can request a review for a specific pen model or manufacturer here. All you need to do is reply to this topic and hopefully one of you can post a pen review in the area where we normally post reviews. Periodically I will purge out the requests that have been fulfilled or have been in the thread for a year (expires), this will save space and make this area less cluttered and easy to browse. If an older request of yours is deleted, feel free to add again--the later ones are viewed more frequently.

I hope that this will make your requests for specific pen reviews easier to fulfill.

Please enjoy and thanks for your support!

I would appreciate a review of the Pilot Custom 845 Ebonite pen with possibly a comparison with the Sailor KOP.

Would like to see reviews of:

Pilot Ecrino

Office store brands. In particular, Office Depot has its "Focus" brand and makes a FP (seen on the spinner rack with the Pilot Knights and Waterman Phileas...es... Phileae?)

[EDIT: Ecrino has now been reviewed--here.]

I second the motion for a review database for ballpoints and rollerballs.

Also, a review on Pelikan 300 would be nice.

Hi guys

Hey why not a tete a tete in between some pens considered as similar.

I do propose

OMAS Milord tete a tete with Montegrappa Miya

or

OMAS Paragon tete a tete with Montegrapa Extra 1930

comparing nib qualities, filling systems materials etc

Any way also some review for the Miya will be nice

Very best

Hi, I'm looking for a good review of the Parker sonnet with a fine gold nib. I know it should be easy to find a review for such a popular pen but i don't know why i can't seam to find a good one.

Thanks.

I came across a line of pens from the Paridise Pen Company in the US. They run under the brand name 5280. I was hoping that someone might have some insight about their functionality. I certantly like their look and feel. You can take a look at their site to see them.

Thanks in advance for the review.

I would like to see a review of the Aurora Ipsilon Fountain Pen in Sterling Silver.
I mention the Sterling Silver specifically as in a Sterling Silver pen, the quality and finish of the Silver is a major part of the whole Pen experience.
Thanks.

Why:

It seems this is really the snob collectors pen. No reviews, high prices, great pics but further nothing. No reviews to be found anywhere. I might be looking in the wrong place....but on FPN I found most reviews that I required.

[EDIT: Search is your friend. There are 3 reviews--check the index.]

Dear Savage,
Your Alphabetized pen reviews are messed up. The Manufacturers' names appear as computer language codes. Please help! Thanks. Ron C

I'm not sure this would be a fair comparison. Edison pens are at a much higher pricing level (starting at $170). Guider pens are inexpensive enough (starting around $15) that you should feel able to buy one without a second thought.

good news: I'll be happy to oblige as soon as I get my Omas Extra Lucens back from Mr. Binder.
bad news: I just sent it off today.

I was planning to do it as a compare and contrast review with the two 1980s Omas pens I have, but if I get antsy (or, if you do- pm me if you really want to read one!) I might just review the 555-F or 557-S together or individually.
