Parker Sonnet Fountain Pen | Stainless Steel with Gold Trim | Medium Nib | Gift Box

I wasn’t expecting to be quite this taken with a pen, but the Parker Sonnet has turned out to be absolutely perfect for me. I chose the fine nib this time — all my previous fountain pens have had medium nibs, and I’d never quite been satisfied. Because I keep a daily journal and need to write small, I decided to experiment. I’m glad I did. The fine nib on this pen is superb. The ink flows beautifully: smooth, even, and effortless. It’s as fluid as a good rollerball, but with that familiar fountain-pen softness and flexibility that makes writing feel almost expressive. In many ways, this is the best fountain pen I’ve ever used. I went for the silver version with gold trim, mainly because it was on a pre–Black Friday offer. The saving was substantial, but the quality has exceeded anything I expected at the price. Every now and then you buy something that’s such a pleasure to use that it actually makes you want to sit down and write. This is one of those things. Each morning, before I start my quiet time — journalling, reading, walking — I genuinely look forward to putting pen to paper. That’s not an exaggeration; it’s simply the joy of finding a tool that feels just right. Of course, no pen will suit everyone. But this one suits me perfectly.

There very good pens

Beautiful looking and quality fountain pen. Bought to use alongside another that has given (and is still giving) many years of excellent service.

No complaints about how this pen writes. I am a fountain pen beginner though so don't take my word for it. It just drops a star because in the picture the stainless steel version looks more like a bead blasted, grey finish. It is in fact just standard stainless steel like any other, so more silver and shiny with a brushed finish

The parker sonnet made a really nice gift and the recepient really likes it

Bought for my wife’s work, as writing with a decent fountain pen makes it so easy. And this pen does precisely this. Her opinion is that the pen flows beautifully, smoothly, allowing for a considerable lack of writing hardship, making her day all the better. She loves it, well please with the style and weight. Looks gorgeous. I watched her writing and, it looks effortless and the letters are formed elegantly.

This pen writes like any old cheap fountain pen. Not worth the money. It does flow well but the nib is scratchy.

It's a beautiful pen, with it's metal housing and gold nib. It's let down by writing performance. The nib glides across paper effortlessly, but it skips constantly and takes a while to start. There's only so many times you can re-cross Ts and re-dot Is until you give up. This was my first foray into "fountain pens that cost more than £1 and don't come in a pack of 10", but I ended up falling back on my previous pen because it writes better. It's a nice conversation starter, it looks great, and if you only need a fancy pen to sign your name on documents it should work fine. If you want something you can rely on for journals, or schoolwork, you'll want something else. Or maybe mine was just defective idk

Excelente producto está preciosa

This pen is incredible! It looks simple, elegant and stunning. The nib is quite wide and long, and has beautiful lines and curves. The cap closes nice and tight. The ink flow is perfect, allowing for a very smooth and constant writing experience. After not using the pen for a few days, I was able to simply pick it up and start writing right away without any scratching or ink flow problems. The best fountain pen I've ever owned!

Una penna di classe che vi fa fare bella figura se volete fare un regalo utile e duraturo. Costruzione robusta e di qualità, scrittura gradevole.

Esta é uma grande oportunidade para quem quiser adquirir uma caneta de qualidade, completa e por um bom preço. Em tudo, essa compra superou as minhas expectativas. A caneta foi fabricada na França e veio com uma linda caixa rígida, dois cartuchos descartáveis (tinta preta) e mais um conversor de cartucho. Vou alertar positivamente aos meus amigos sobre essa compra. Quanto a escrita, a pena M desliza com suavidade sobre o papel. Este ítem é colecionável. Não percam a chance!

This pen is beautiful! I really like the color combination. It is elegant but not at all overly so. Light and very comfortable to use I prefer using the refillable insert so I can select the most passionate color to write my notes. Using the Palmer penmanship method one does not press the pen to paper for there is no need. A gorilla grip with pressure used with other writing implements, will ruin a fountain pen. One balances the pen in the hand, the fingers about two inches from the nib, holding the hand still, poised over paper. Then, gently touching the paper with the nib, releasing the ink from the pen, gracefully tracing letters across the paper in one continuous line. That is elegance, sophistication and entails quite a bit of practice. I will tell you though, the concept of “practice make perfect” is one that with this Parker Sonnet Fountain Pen you are not only rewarded with exquisite penmanship, but with other worldly rewards. On an occasion of little importance, not an anniversary, not a celebration, just the special occasion of my letting her know how much I love her, I gave this same pen to my lover because I love her dearly and I love writing with my fountain pen. For her alone, I have selected the Pilot Iroshizuku Bottled Fountain Pen Ink, Yama-Budo, Crimson Glory Vine, Purple Red. With that introduction, she too, uses the same ink. For us, this color speaks visual volumes, reminiscent of our many Kim Anami inspired bacchanalia festivities. As we have learned from Kim and grown our abilities and skills at pleasing each other, so has our enjoyment of and skill mastering the Palmer writing technique with our matching Parker Sonnet Fountain Pens. And one of the best things with matching pens is that I can easily insert my pen in her cap, much to her delight and she enjoys having her cap filled with my pen. So we do that every time we see each other. If you love her, get her one of these Parker Sonnet Fountain Pens and she can select her most passionate ink to write notes to you and, who knows, you may even be able to join her in a Kim Anami Salon?! How exciting!
