    Pretty, but leaks .
    4 Stars
    Pretty, but leaks .
    It's seems random if it leaks or not. This is my 2nd fountain pen. I don't do returns because of the process. I'll try it more, but at the moment I think the next one will be a zebra. It looks cool, but is a fast design. The cap clicks on securely when not being used; the pen doesn't really hold the cap on the back well.Ok I'm going to try another ink cartridge. This is going to be #3 for chronological sake. It is a pretty pen. I soaked it in water and put a new filler in. The ink gets to the point faster now. I'll see how it goes. It us writing at the moment. I've had 2 cartridges fall out inside the pen so far. I recommend soaking it for 15-30 minutes before reloading ink. It does have a cap clip build on, so it seems to have been designed to carry in a pocket; I will be leaving this pen on a desk and not carrying it with me in the future. It's quite possible they do not all have these issues. It's my believe that the poker in the pen doesn't quite open the ink enough and doesn't have enough friction against the ink capsule to guarantee it doesn't fall off. Some products are designed on the edge of operation and may go either way.I'll update this about a month after buying the Dryden Fountain pen. I'll go to 4. It's has an appealing look asthetically; Its elegant while simple. The bump on the top helps avoid scratches on on wider area. The weight is good. It seems to help to soak it between refills. Personally I carry it with the nibb up to prevent leaking in the cap. The back of the pen screws on very securely & even holds ink in if the cartridge comes off when dropped (not all pens lose cartridges on a drop,but the tight threads are nice. It writes nicely. The nibb cap snaps on very well, if dropped I rarely lose the lid.

    5.0 out of 5 stars After using this pen for a while and comparing to others...
    Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2022
    My first fountain pen. I read more reviews after I purchased and began to worry that I picked a bad one since some were so critical. I've used about 1/3 of a black cartridge and it writes amazingly. I can't remember ever enjoying writing so much. Pen looks simply beautiful. Cartridge was easy to install and it only took a few seconds for the ink to get to the nib. Since I am new to this, there was a learning curve figuring out angle and pressure. But that didn't take long once the ink started flowing.

    UPDATE:
    I have to take a couple stars off this review. After having used a Hongdian that my son purchased and a Parker that my spouse purchased, I can no longer consider this a 5 star product. The writing is not smooth in comparison, nor is the consistency of the way the ink is laid down. It can be very spotty and you have to hold the nib at just the right angle to keep the ink flowing well. When the ink is flowing it still can write well, but having compared the pen to 2 other brands that actually perform really well, I am not as impressed with it as I was when first used.

    Yet another update:
    So I made a slight adjustment to the nib by simply pressing down with a moderate amount of force and at about 45 degree angle. This caused the 2 prongs of the nib to separate a bit and now the ink is flowing well with much less skipping. Gave another star back to the pen. I still enjoy writing with this very much.

    The flow of the ink from this pen since it was first received is REMARKABLY better. It is definitely a 5 star pen. Writes very smooth and wet. As well as virtually any fountain pen I own.
