Pelikan P67A Pelikano Junior Fountain Pen - Right-Handed - Green Body

Pen is very good quality. Ink started to flow right away. Came with an extra long ink cartridge with a funky design drawn on it, perfect for kids. Case feels solid and durable.

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the nib is extremely broad. That's not so bad for kids used to writing big, but it doesn't help learn precision.

I also found the grip awkward for my hand. It probably forces you to hold the pen "just right" and I guess that's technically a good thing, but I've got my own style and it as difficult to adjust.

I ended up passing it on to my girlfriend's 13yo daughter. As a matter of coincidence, she'd recently expressed an interest in acquiring a "vee pen" as she calls them and she was thrilled with it.

This is a great little pen! It writes incredibly smoothly and has a bold line. The grip is comfortable and the cap is secure. I use this pen for taking notes in class and it's quite the workhorse.

For the price and build of the pen, I don't have to worry about it breaking or getting fiddly in the middle of a lecture.

Great buy!

I enjoy writing with fountain pens and have many of them; so I got these for my children. These pens are wonderful for children who don't like to write hard, and also wonderful for teaching children they don't need to write hard. I got one for my 3 year old hard-writer, and he wasn't ready for it, and bent the nib, but as far as nibs go, this one handled more abuse than my other pens would have. I gave him a new one at 6, and he LOVES it! He loves to chose the different colors of ink too. I'd say this pen is perfect for a child one they begin learning to write. If you have a child that presses a pen brutally hard, wait until they begin writing and have the ability to realize that with this pen they won't need to press so firmly. The rubber grip, with special areas for proper grip placement, is extremely comfortable. if you want a fountain pen to last, don't cap the lid on the back or it may stretch over time. I'm learning to place the lid right in front of me so I don't lose it and cap the pen as soon as I'm done writing. If you want to cap the end, just place it on lightly but firmly enough that it doesn't fly off.

Love it, I am a fountain pen lover and this is the one I grab when my older hand gets a little stiff and cramped up. This is a nice fat pen with a really comfortable triangular rubberized grip and even clean ink flow. Wish it had a pocket clip but you can't have everything. Great bright colors too...buy one they are inexpensive and they work great

This pen, I've dropped it, I've had to push the nib back in, I've had to take it apart and clean it out, then let it dry completely, I've refilled it at least 20 times now because I use it every day to take notes in my classes.
The left-handed grip works perfectly, and this nib has been put through proverbial bootcamp. I've managed to bend the entire thing up by dropping it and then back again with a paper towel, and it still writes smoothly.
Sure, it's not elegant, or fancy, or a $200 monteblanc, but if you want something that "takes a licking and keeps on ticking"(or writing, as it may be), this is the pen to get. And at $11.50, once you do destroy it, it's easily replaced.
