Opus 88 Pens

Absolutely gorgeous! I purchased the Black Mother of Pearl and I couldn't be more delighted. All the reasons I love my other 1/2 dozen Opus pens (girth, smoothness of their extra fine nibs) plus the beauty of the MOP is just exquisite. Of note, the filling mechanism is a standard converter, but holds quite a lot of ink. It's a very fine example of a high-end looking pen at a very good price. Nothing not to like.

This is a nice eye dropper pen. Has a traditional pen style with Ebonite & resin material but holds a good amount of ink. Writes well, but i use it more for drawing do to it's large ink capacity. Dig all my Opus 88's.

Took a chance on this color, thinking it might be too girly .However its a cool look. Its a confetti design with translucent areas. Works for me, posts and plays well with my other Opus 88's.

Opus makes very high quality pens for the price. There's no exception to that with Koloro. Very good finish and the nib is very smooth and ink flow quite consistent.

These nibs are easy to replace and are of wonderful quality! Pen Chalet is the only company I have found that sells all three types of Opus 88 nibs.

I love this pen! I wasn't sure how I would like the EF Nib but it is super smooth and has plenty of ink flow. The ink delivery system on the Opus 88 is genius! Even though this pen was an open box item it appeared new in every way.

I have the orange demonstrator with M nib. The pen is a reliable writer with consistently good performance. The Opus 88 steel nibs are quite a value. In my opinion, Opus 88 nibs out-perform many other brands in its price range. I used a blue-ish ink, 3 fills before cleaning, and had no staining. The shuttle feature is awesome.

Great nib. Smooth and wet.

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.
