It's amazing how good a pen it is for such an inexpensive, disposable pen. Sometimes I think it's hard to justify my expensive pens when a Varsity and a Metropolitan write so well.

My daughter loves these, especially the bright pink, purple, and turquoise colors. She uses them in her drawings all the time (and I like them for her, as they are a cheap, easy thing to acquire for a seven-year-old). She has a Safari and another pink kit pen too, but she uses the varsities an awful lot!

exactly, and when someone ask for a pen you can give him a fountain pen like this Varsity that writes perfectly fine thus he may fall for the fountain pens and may never get out ;)

The Pilot Varsity is excellent and very functional. You will enjoy using it. Yes, it is disposable, but don't dispose of it.

Someone put ink into it originally, Someone can put ink into it again. A pleasant task.

Write with joy.

Thanks Sasha, i thought of that maybe if its possible to remove the nib and feed it will be possible to re-fill it with ink.

Removing the nib and feed is fairly easy. I usually stand it in a glass of very hot water for a few seconds, wrap some paper around the feed and pull. It pops out without much difficulty.

Clean, fill with your ink of choice and snap the nib/feed assembly back in.

very hot water here means boiling water ?

      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
