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

This pen may be great for beginner. The nib is extremely hard, and and so you have to press a bit to get it to work. The grip is way too chunky for an adult hand. And, even my 6-year old said that, as much as she liked this pen, she liked the old Parker Vector I gave her better.

Also, the line is just not that beautiful. I think it needs a bigger ball on the end of it give a prettier line. And, it took a very long time to get the ink to flow through the nib. Any suggestions on that would be much appreciated.

I really wanted to like this cute thing more. It's clunky and chunky -- and if that's your thing (and for some people, it is), this is made just for you. I need a slimmer profile and LIGHTER pen -- this pen weighs nearly three times what a Pilot 78G does! Insane. And it ultimately makes it harder to write for a long period of time. 23 grams can make all the difference. Who knew?

I'll stick this in my purse to have a pen when I'm out, but it won't be in my regular rotation. And if someone sees me use it and loves it... it's theirs.

I got these for my young children who wanted my pens! The whole family now has one, and while I don't love the look as much as my nicer looking pens, this one writes so smoothly, I can't resist using it. The A nib is similar to a medium nib I use, and while I preferred fine point pens, I find that I've begun to prefer medium nibbed fountain pens for the smoothness and beauty of the ink and writing. These are really good for children who are able to write. The price can't be beat for an easy writing, sturdy fountain pen for a child, and yet the pen writes nice enough that we adults can use them happily too.

I bought this pen to try out the flexible nib, to see if it would partially replicate a dip pen art nib. It really doesn't add much to the performance unless you push very hard: doing this regularly, I would worry about it staying bent, based on one review of this same pen in blue. I find the "A" nib to be extremely wide, though I prefer Japanese sizing to German. I think that there are better super-budget-priced fountain pens available: the Pilot Penmanship is one I prefer that also has a three-sided handpiece. Also, I don't find that the left-hand / right-hand distinction has much effect.
