MUJI Aluminum Fountain Pen

I first tried one of these fountain pens a few years ago. I love how, even though being a fine point, the ink just flows without skipping. It is an excellent pen for inking drawings, and it's never given me any troubles. Until I lost, misplaced, or had it stolen. When I couldn't find my pen, I decided to buy another one, which I did and I was VERY happy that it's quality, look and feel and writing experience remain the same.I like how thin this pen is and how the cap slips onto the back of the pen while in use.It's a flat aluminum colored pen and it comes with cartridges filled with black ink. They look to be international standard type so I imagine you could get any color ink refills you'd like, I usually just use black in mine.This is a good beginner's fountain pen because of how easy it is to use, it just works without issue -- there is no "breaking in" or adjusting the nib, of the several I have purchased and used over the years, none have given me issues or need to be adjusted. Writing is comfortable and not a strain, much like writing with a regular pen or pencil.I likely will buy it again.

I got this pen specifically because its thin and fits in a compass holder. I have it inked with a permanent ink (Noodler's Eel Black) and sometimes dont use it for over a week. And no hard starts, the cap seems to be airtight enough to prevent the nib from drying out. The flow is just right and I get perfect thin lines (fine point nib) for my geometric drawings.

A clean design in a single color, suitable for everyday use. However, the simplicity may make it look too cheap.

Great pen but the ink it comes with is so terrible I thought the pen was broken.

Great, thank you.

This pen writes on every paper I presented to it. It's been filled with Noodler's Bulletproof Black, Noodler's Original Brown, and Waterman's Serenity Blue (all of which can be purchased on Amazon), and it has written well on every paper it's been put to without feathering. Cheap office paper, binder paper, Leuchterm 1917 notebook paper, brown paper bags, hot pressed watercolor paper.... whatever. It does it all. It looks great in my hand at meetings, and fits easily in my pencil pouch in my work bag. It's my general go-to writing pen these days, and any ballpoint pens that are still around are pretty much in the bottom of my purse in case my Muji runs out of ink or someone else needs to borrow a pen. If you are thinking of picking up an under $20 fountain pen as you wean yourself off of disposable plastic pens, I highly recommend this Muji as your first easy-care, refillable, every-day carry fountain pen.

I am not a collector or fountain pen hobbyist, so I expect a fountain pen to be functional, reliable, and long-lasting.So far, I love this pen. Although lighter than other fountain pens, its construction is of high quality. The feeder is made of plastic, but is of no concern: like the aluminium sections it is made with precision.The quality of the provided ink cartridge is debatable. It is functional, but didn't like the ink flow, so I replaced it with Faber-Castell cartridges I already had, and I also ordered "Schmidt K5 Push In Deluxe Fountain Pen Ink Converter" for use with ink bottles, which fit perfectly into this model.My review only centers on the pen, and it deserves 5 stars. I am getting a renewed sense of writing confidence after thrashing my older fountain pen and not quite coming to terms with standard pens (not fountain).

This is a nice simple aluminum pen that is sturdy enough to throw in a bag to carry it every where you go. This is a pen you can take the time to write smoothly and not have to rush to get your thoughts down. It's a slim pen of average length. I like the look of the raw aluminum barrel & cap that has a matte silvery look to it.
