So, I was ordering stuff from Amazon the other night… I’d come across this #pen a week or so ago, and I couldn’t get the ink window out of my mind. It was cheap, so I wasn’t expecting much - but I had to satisfy my curiosity.

This pen is from a company called Wilknd. Never heard of them, only other listing is for a fairly generic looking ballpoint pen.

What I received is actually a fairly respectable #fountainpen - especially for $15, compared to junk like Beiluner or Scrivenier.

Brass case, plated gold, fine nib (listing says 0.5mm, but it writes like an EF), interesting design (I don’t recall seeing anything like this), a snap cap with a liner, installed syringe-style converter. I filled it with Hongdian Blue ink and tried writing a page – enjoy my crappy penmanship. Lol.

    This looks like a pen that the people of Arrakis would use. If they could afford the moisture for the ink.

    Indeed!

    Your handwriting is really good btw

    I can do much better. :)
