Franklin Covey From Cross

[Tanzanite]

I have seen that Cross has a new line of cheap pens called Franklin Covey. Has anyone tried the fountain pens? What did you think?

i have 2 of these pens, i like them, i have one on me at all times, the only issue that ive run into is theres a chrome accent piece that is around the base of pen right above the nib, and on one of my pens its begun to leak ink, im not sure if i loosened it some how or if its just been abused too much, ill do some experimenting and get back to you

Franklin Covey is a separate brand - Cross makes the pens for them. However, I think it does not take Cross cartridges. It seemed like a good pen for the money (around $17) after I smoothed the nib a bit. I no longer have it - I gave it to my son for his first fountain pen - but I would certainly consider buying one again.

I have one of these, they are a good inexpensive pen. They take international type carts.

Good to know about the cartridges. This gives me a reason to order some J Herbins.

Now, the equation cost-quality is superb.

i got the black and chrome and its what i use on a daily basis, plus i get comments when i use it

Does anyone know if this comes in red? The Blue is stunning, but I prefer red.

The FC Freemont can be bought in red/chrome, black/chrome and satin/chrome.

You are lucky I am imnsoniac this moment 049 am and I was checking the press. found it in a brick and mortar Sammys office suply in the small border town Eagle Pass Texas, looks sturdy but sincerily I didnt try it to much I need to write with it for a month to tell you my opinión but a priori I think is good. And to say the trut I dont like cartridges, they are penchant to leak, not this pen certanly but I am looking for a feeder tomorrow I will check the spare feeders in my centurys classic and II.

By "feeder" did penrivers perhaps mean converter as he referred to not liking cartridges?

Yes, thanks, nothing happen, is that I just dont trust cartridges.
