Opus 88 Pens

I dig this pen. Nice quality, holds a large amount of ink,inks look cool in it, dual chamber system works well. Large pen at a fair price. Writes well and looks cool.Also nibs can be swap out with the Pilot parallel calligraphy nibs.

Wow, this pen is even more stunning in reality than the picture. I have small hands so I tend to use it without posting the cap as it makes it quite heavy. It took a bit for me to get used to the eyedropper filling method. Be sure to pull the plunger all the way out to fill it. Otherwise, it won't create enough "pressure" to force the ink down into the nib. At least, in my experience. I do unscrew it a bit whenever I write. I filled it with the Monteverde Caribbean Blue which is also the same color as the blue "flecks" in the pen. Lovely.

This is one of my favorite new pens. The nib is smooth and wet. It starts every time and does not skip. It is well made and I do enjoy that I can see the color of the ink when I use it.

This is such a nice large demonstrator. Has a large ink capacity. It's perfect for my drawing needs.For the value it's hard to beat in this price range. Well worth it. Plus to see the ink swish around is pretty cool.

The person I got this for has declared it his new favorite pen, so I do believe it's a hit! It holds *a lot* of ink. Very satisfying writing experience too. Fits well for big hands especially, though even my smaller hands enjoyed writing with it. I think because of the winter weather, the nib/feed shifted a little bit in how it was set during shipping and when it warmed back up in the house, so I'd check for that (with any pen, really) just in case, but it was pretty easy to nudge back in place, even after the pen was filled. Probably best to give it time to warm up and settle. Also, as with other eye-dropper Opus 88s, give the feed some time to fill with ink (or pump it, but it might take a couple pumps) or you'll have a harder time getting started.

Exactly what I wanted (lovely Opus 88 stub nib). As a bonus, I took my original Opus nib (broad) and swapped out the fine nib in my TWSBI Eco. It works perfectly in there for an upgraded Eco experience, though a little loose since it's not exactly the same size as the Eco nibs.

Cute oversized pen with
style. The Nib is exceptionally good, far surpasses the, Ormar’s nib. I got an EF, it has been confirtable, slight bounce, and zero problems.

I enjoy the pens’s ability to “stand”
up on the desk on it’s own.
Very nice experience.

wow. All Write!
when you unbox you may wonder what you got your self into.

The proof of this pen is in the writing!
1Iinked it with Sailor Seiboku, via the great system.
2. Started right up
3. nib is very comfy, with some bounce, #6 , PERFECT
4. Pen is oversized.its girth be held securely by small hands.
5. i wasn’t stunned by this pen until i started writing. I couldnt put it down, i gave it two hours of solid writing - what a cool comfortable experience.
The cute part is: when done or at pause, i can stand this pen up on its own cute designed intergral base!

I wasn’t wowed by the conglomerates style resin, but the mire i used this pen the more i loved the tactile feel and consistent dependable performance. It’s a writers pen. It draws a lot of attention to itself.

This pen is large, but because I have long fingers, it's perfect for me. Feels very comfortable in my hand. I got the orange/teal color with the stub nib and I love the whole look so much that I also got the clear demonstrator version with a broad nib. This was my first ink dropper pen and getting used to the ink flow system took a little time, but I love that I don't have to refill very often. The stub 1.5 nib is slightly wide for my taste, so I might have it ground down a little. Regularly filled with Sailor Shikiori Kin-Mokusei to match the orange.

A nice writer with substantial girth. The nib is smooth and has some spring.

This was a lovely surprise. This Opus Demonstrator has been a reliable daily writer, with a consistent wet line, showing off the best shading of any ink I've tried with it. Have enjoyed it immensely. I choose the medium nib, and been considering a second in the fine nib, for variety. Nib size seems true to western standard sizing. Well made and durable. Highly recommend the brand.

Enormous pen in width.
Superb built quality from Taiwan. Takes a bit to get use to.

I hadn't seen or read a lot about this pen, but I took a chance. I'm very happy I did. It's a beautiful pen. Wrote wonderfully right out of the box. It's an eyedropper with a shut-off valve. It's a big pen - I like that. It's actually bigger than a Jinhao 159, but nowhere near as heavy. The contoured grip is comfortable. If I was forced to criticize this pen; it's not for quick notes, or telephone jotting, or the like. Almost three and a half turns to cap/uncap. But I don't mind, I have snap-cap pens for that purpose. This is a writer. Wet and smooth. Very enjoyable.

Attractive color - ordered the blue. Nice looking cigar shaped fountain pen. Easy to clean.

Nice pen, workmanship spot on,

This is one pen I wish more than 2 color options were available. So easy to clean and ink with hige capacity. Chunky shape long pen like no other. Nicely polish, exactly as Pen Chalet's photos. Strong clip, large nib, smooth, no issues right out of the box. Fast, secure, well packed delivery and a friendly, knowledge and experts customer service Only at Pen Chalet!

This a huge, not heavy, not light,beautiful polished demonstrator. Black string clip. Ink capacity is huge. This is a wet pen. Any nib size will make you smile. A must have! Fast, secure, well packed delivery by Pen Chalet! Try their customer service, always the best!

I love love that pen. Not only ot is beautiful, but it write so smoothly as all my other Opus 88. I inked it with Diamine Starlit sea and it is just a gorgeous combo.

Thanks! Manon

Delightful! Fun! The writer’s choice. - endless smooth ink-Intelligent design- ease of use- comfort-comfort-comfort!

I have small hands- yet something about the balance and the grip design allows me a secure precise grip and ease of long hours of writing.
The pen I chose was orange and green. It has a pleasing tactile feel in use and in handling. The color combo looks cutting edge and modern as light plays over its ultra smmoth surface and through the clear cap, and translucent sections. Bravo to the designers.

Thank you Pen Chalet for quickly answering my emails.

The nib is exactly and easily fit into the pen.
Actually good due to opus genuine parts.
And the customer service? Only one word
fits for Penchalet, and it is “EXCELLENT”
Thanks.
Tippy.

Swapped this out on my Opus 88 Colori, and so far it's working fine. Sometimes it's nice to have a big bold nib.

Love the pen build quality, the ink flow is great too. This fits perfectly in my hand.

I bought this Opus 88 Jazz creamcycle orange fountain pen after reading numerous rave reviews about this brand. The resin's color is a warm, vibrant, but not garish at all ice cream bar orange. Very appealing. The ink window is dark teal, but does clearly show the ink level. I bought this pen out of curiosity about an eyedropper pen with a shut-off valve. Opening and closing the valve to control ink flow does not bother me at all. It is so well built. Just oozes quality. It's a big pen yet is very comfortable for my small hand. Holds a ton of ink. Now to the heart of the pen - the nib. I ordered the fine point nib and it wrote out of the box so smoothly. It lays down a line width that is a little finer than many Western fines, but I really like it. The tines were not out of alignment. I filled the pen with Monteverde Cherry Pie ink. The pen and the ink work so well together. The flow was a little on the dry side, but is wetter now that I've used it over some days. The pen is very easy to fill with the included glass eyedropper. At some point, I will get a different Opus 88 model because the nib is smoooooth, the manufacturing quality is so high,and the price is right. That is my great experience with this pen.

The Opus 88 Bela in red is a beautiful pen that writes great out of the box. The eyedropper works well to fill a lot of ink in the barrel easily and fast with no mess. Well worth a look for a new way to fill a pen.

A nice, good-size pen that writes well for me.
