Pelikan P55 Future Fountain Pen - Fine Nib - Blue Body

The ink bleeds out very thick, even from a fine point nib. The pen feels even cheaper than the price tag. The grip is nice, and my wife loves it for use on thick card stock and envelopes, but it is unsuable for note taking and everyday use. Also, and it my be inconsequential to some, the cap will not stay on the back of the pen when in use.

A misstep as far as I was concerned. It's a very wet writer, and the "fine" nib leaves a thick line, so it's not good for filling a small journal with small neat writing. The cap absolutely will not post, which is just bad design. It leaves a very short pen (slightly shorter than a Pilot Petit1 that does have the cap posted if you've tried one of those), and anyway, who wants to lay the cap down somewhere while writing and have to keep track of it?

Not really awful, it's just that there are much better choices at around the same price and lower.

it is quite super with its blue and red shades
