You can find the full review on my blog, here is a direct link to the full review: Think Pens Iceland Fountain Pen Review

 

A friend of mine recently let me borrow a Think Iceland fountain pen. He recommended I try it, seeing as how I don't own too many modern pens. I accepted the offer graciously. I used the pen for about a month, almost exclusively at work, so I could put some milage on it. The pen itself is larger and heaver than my vintage pens, so it was a little strange at first. But I settled into the feel after ~1.5 days. The only thing I never could get used to was having the pen posted. So, I pretty much ended up keep the pen unposted. The Think Iceland pen, is very pretty. I am not too into many of the modern pens out there as they can get a bit too gaudy. This was a perfect pen for me. Fun yet not over the top. It has a very nice pattern in the acrylic. Blue / White / Gray / Black checker (kinda) style.

 

Everywhere I took the pen I received great comments and questions about the pen. It is definitely a good looking pen.

 

The pen came with a Medium Iridium tipped german steel nib. I filled the pen with Pelikan Royal Blue. The ink started right up in the pen. No feed/flow issues. The nid is very smooth, not really any scratchiness or anything to note of. Very nice medium. The ink stayed well behaved the whole time I tested it.

 

In case you were unaware, Think Pens is a division of Krone pens.

That is a great looking pen. I have always thought that THINK had some good looking pens. :thumbup:

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
