Sailor Fude De Mannen kalligrafi fyllepenn spiss vinkel 40 grader

This has become my go to fountain pen for writing!! For the past year Ive used it, its performed consistently, smoothly... with a good ink flow through thick and thin lines. The nib is not the smoothest Ive used but the use I get out of it makes up for it. I can get very thin lines with this wonderful nib!

Pros:
~Wide line variations (from super thin held upright to thick when held tilted)
~smooth ink flow
~long lasting. (Been using a year now. Its my go to)
~Good size, thickness of body
~Durable with thoughtfully designed steel bands that reenforce structure at weakest points on body. Has not cracked, broke despite numerous drops.
~Sleek body with small jut for rolling prevention

Cons:
~Nib cannot be removed/replaced (At least I think when attempted )
~Casing feels thin (minor. I prefer thick and weighty)

I love this fude fountain pen for both writing and sketching.

This black (or dark blue?) 40" fude-nibbed pen is not as well known as its green 55" sister. The green one is used by many artists to gain the maximum amount of thick-to-thin lines possible from a single fountain pen. I'm learning to draw and find that the 40" pen's variation is plenty. It's a smooth writer on all the paper I've used, and a smooth drawer on cold- or hot-pressed watercolor paper. I'm really pleased with it. I can hold it like a pen, but it's also long enough to use it as a brush. Reversed, it draws a very fine line, held normally, a medium, held more parallel to the page, a thick one. Great addition to my writing/drawing tools.

Thought I would give this Fude pen a try, glad I did. Didn't know what to expect , the pen was very inexpensive but it turned out to be a good purchase. I can get a number of different line weights from one pen, no need to carry around 3 or 4 different pens. Ink flows well, balance is good, liken the line weights, and the screw on cap prevents the ink from drying too quickly. Definitely a good good fountain pen and a great value for the price. Will buy again.
