Product Description
Established in 1670, J. Herbin is the oldest name in ink production—and it has even designed specialty ink formulations for French luminaries like Louis XIV and Victor Hugo Read More
I have this set (purchased elsewhere), I do not recommend it.
As others have indicated, the acrylic easily cracks, even with very careful handling and use.
Both of my barrels cracked at the section threads. Note that I did not overthread, nor applied any pressure. Perhaps, the acrylic is also subject to temperature changes.
Nib is sub-par, at best.
Poor quality product... awesome inks!
Satisfied with my purchase. Two pens allows you to try two different inks. You get the one with the drop, then go online and find a seller that has samples and buy a bunch of those to try out. Once you find an ink you like, and if you eventually do get into fountain pens, there are a whole slew of styles and varieties of pens and nibs out there. I've discovered a new, relatively inexpensive hobby. Now I am learning how to write in cursive all over again. Good for the brain, they say. Write a letter to your mom, she'll appreciate it.
Compared to other budget fountain pens I have, I feel these are quite poor quality. Also for a medium they write fairly fine and the ink flow is not that great. I'll probably stick to mu Jinhao's for budget pens.
Pens are a joke for this price. I had been wondering about them and found one in the back of a stationary store that had given up on the fountain pen game, so the lady gave me a deal on the remainder of their j. Herbin cartridges. If you're new to fountain pens and this seems a good deal, it is categorically not. Please don't buy them.
I would love to see this as an ink drop. I have used J. Herbin inks, just lovely. If this was a collection of their inks in 10 ml size it would be delightful. The featured pens however, ummm, no.
