A Very Short Review Of The Pirre Paul's F101

[bob_hayden]

Poky (sometimes "Poker") Stationary is an eBay seller in Hong Kong They have about 2000 items in their eBay store and nearly all of them are tools to write with. Years ago I purchased some Pirre Paul's F101 pens from them. These look very similar to a Parker Vector and sell for just over $5 US today. They cost twice as much as the similar looking Baoer 801 but are very crudely made. For example, the section screws into the body with what looks like a self-threading screw cutting into the soft plastic. My pens have been used very little but already the threads in the body are wearing away and the section is not very securely held in place. They write well and the nib on my surviving one is a nice fine. I think I could only recommend these to someone who likes the looks of the Vector and 801 but wants a narrower nib than can be had on those. Another alternative is the Pirre Paul's F828 which is essentially a metal version of the F101.
