Customer reviews

The nib will make your day!
Love this pen. Different take on the classical features of a fountain pen- the cartridge goes in a little differently, the cap snaps not screws. The happy face on the nib makes me smile! It writes very smoothly and dries quickly, is comfortable in the hand, the medium point is spot on. Overall, very easy to use for those new to fountain pens, good value to give fountain pens a try. I’m tempted to buy another one just because I enjoy it so much even over my traditional fountain pens.

Great starter fountain pen
VERY good starter fountain pen. The nib is pretty inflexible so you don’t get much line variation, but the writing experience is smooth and comfortable. Perhaps my only complaint is how it doesn’t handle shimmer inks well - I did everything to get the shimmer to show up in the ink, and it did not. Instead, it clogged. So, if you use a non-shimmer ink in it, it’s great and consistent. I just kinda wish it came with a clip.

Join the KAKUNO party!
The KAKUNO fountain pen is everything. It’s such a gorgeous and simplistic design. It’s easy to use and assemble for beginners like me. It’s literally push and go. The quality is excellent. No scratching. There’s only one thing: I’m nervous to take it out of the house because I fear someone might try to steal it.

Best Beginner Fountain Pen around
This is my FAVORITE starter fountain pen! So much and the little grip helps with learning how to hold one correctly. 10/10 recommend buying this pen first as I purchased 3 other “starter” pens and they all didn’t write smooth or were heavy and bulky
