Welcome back to our little corner of the world. We’ve had a lot of requests for affordable and reliable starter pens. We decided that, in order to expand our selection, we’d bring in more starter pens into our inventory! This week we’re reviewing the Pelikan Pelikano Fountain Pen that we just got in from Pelikan. New to us, this is a great starter pen that we’re excited to carry as well as review.
Continue reading for your chance to win the Pelikan Pelikano Fountain Pen that we used in this review!
Appearance
The Pelikan Pelikano Fountain Pen is available in two colors, red and green. The cap is a silver satin color with a roll stop that matches the color of the pen. The Pelikano has an ink viewing chamber on the barrel, which is definitely a plus. On the top of the cap you will find the Pelikan logo.
Qualities
Retailing at just $25.00 USD, arguably the best quality about the Pelikano is how affordable it is. Also, included with the pen is a long international standard sized cartridge. Cartridges like the Pelikan Edelstein Ink Cartridges, and Monteverde Magnum Cartridges are just a couple of the long international standard sized cartridges that fit the pen. In addition, you can use any international standard sized converter in the Pelikano.
Performance
How does it write? We inked up the Pelikano with Colorverse Morning Star and put it to the test. We used the Red Pelikan Pelikano with a medium nib. True to the standard of Pelikan nibs, the Medium wrote a little wetter than your typical western medium. The writing experience was smooth and very enjoyable. We did not experience any issues with flow, or scratchiness.
Conclusion
So, we have ourselves another great starter pen that we’ve added to our lineup. They are available now, so you should get one and add it to your collection as well! We definitely recommend the Pelikan Pelikano Fountain Pen. Comment below with your thoughts! Also, don’t forget to subscribe to our blog, and our newsletter! We have some exciting news just around the corner!

This is a really interesting pen.
It looks like a nice little pen! I’m glad to hear it takes the long cartridges or a full sized converter. But I would be lying if I didn’t say that the Colorverse ink kinda steals the show!
A pretty little Pelikan. I haven’t got a Pelikan yet. Just inks.
Like the pen, but would love a review about the ink!
I am sure its coming next 😉
Fun and quirky look. I think a new pen user would enjoy it.
There are many student/beginner fountain pens that are perfectly suitable and enjoyable for “adults”: Kakuno, Pelikano Jr., etc. Reviews or comparisons would be great!
Fun.
I have a version of this pen and it’s a good starter pen. I like that it fits the long cartridges. Mine only had the choice of medium nib, which is wetter/broader than I prefer. With the choice of a F or EF nib I’d happily buy another.
These seem like great pens for knockaround or keeping at work.
As always, my favorite ink is Sheaffer’s Kings Gold – it just doesn’t get any better than this.
Love! 🙂
i love the interesting cap on this pen 🙂
Reminds me of something like a Safari.
Nice pen…but how about reviewing the ink you used?
Looks awesome!
I love these cheap fountain pens that you can toss in your pocket. I use similar pens when there’s no shirt pocket to protect a more expensive pen. This would be a neat one to add to my collection!
Looks like a nice starter pen.
This sounds like a good starter pen. I like that it’s a medium and I like the color!
This looks like a very nice starter pen. Good quality!
This is definitely a great starter pen, especially for kids. I love Pelikan nibs.
But that ink color, though…
Is there any flex in the nib?
Nice pen. How about the Pelikan Twist too, or the Faber Castell School pen.
The ink in the sample looks nice
I love this pen! Thank you for this opportunity! ❤️
I’m using Waterman inks right now but that green used in this review looks great. What is it?
We used Colorverse Morning Star! -Braden
Great looking pen
Good price point – wonder how the quality compares to their other pens.
I’ve got a little pal that would love that pen.
So many people I’d love to give this to to get them started!
My favourite ink is currently Waterman Inspired Blue!
Sounds like a good one to try.
Nice looking pen. I’m always looking for inexpensive pens to add to my collection. I would probably ink it up with Noodlers Empire Red. Maybe that could be your next ink review
I love the reddish-orange colour! Great starter pen for a first Pelikan! Thank you for the chance to win this lovely Pen! God Bless & Love You Bunches!!!
I love this pen! Thanks for the shot at winning one!
I love Diamine and Noodler inks right now. Really enjoying a Zhivago black-green ink.
Look like a nice starter pen. Thanks for thd giveaway.
I’m so delighted that you’re carrying Colorverse.
Looks like a nice pen. Would be a good one to start with.
Looks like a fun pen and I love the color! I would like to see a review of Monteverde Rose Noir ink. It looks like an intriguing color.
How about reviewing the best inks to use for writing a check?
I like the pen, but tbh the ink seems to be the main attraction here!
I would like to see a brand comparison of blue/black inks. Pilot, Parker, Diamine, etc.
I’d love to see Pilot Iroshizuku ink reviews!
Looks to be a nice starter pen. Would like to see your reviews for Krishna inks.
Great looking low-cost pen!
Would love this one!
How many Pelikans are needed to have a “flock”?
Three? Six? A dozen?
I would love this!
I’ve heard of this pen but haven’t done a lot of research on it yet…
