Customer Reviews
These are really nice mid-level pens that make excellent gifts as a way to introduce family, friends and coworkers to Pineider products. I own several of their ball points and fountain pens and they are always of the utmost quality. I also loved the color on these!

I am a big fan of Pineider products and had my eye on the Psycho for quite some time. I ended up purchasing a ball point because I wanted a pen that I could use. The Psycho is a work of art and every time I use it, I wonder how they created it. It fits well in my hand, writes really well (all of my Pineider's write well), and it is not too heavy for light writing. It is very expensive, and I probably would not have bought it had I not been able to purchase it through Pen Chalet at a competitive price; it is the second most expensive pen in my collection. I highly recommend for the pen enthusiast.

This is one of my go-to pens for everyday use. The quality is excellent, the pen feels good in my hand, and it writes well. I also love the magnetic cap. Note that my pen was red and the color was just perfect!

The Pineider Double pen case is incredible. It's surprisingly roomy; I was able to fit two fairly large Opus 88 Demonstrators in mine. Best of all, although it's not mentioned in the product description, There is a divider built in between the two pen slots so that neither pen rubs up against the other. I love the hard shell, and the magnetic closure is a convenient pleasure. I can slip this into my computer backpack and know that my pens are protected and secure. I own the dark navy blue option, and it's very attractive.

Got the white Metropolis when it was on a deeply cut sale. I love the this pen. Used it as my pen for my planner for at least a year before I rotated out. It's has great pen, and I like the bronze like finishes. Nice resin. Nib is nice. Based on this pen, I am definitely interest purchasing a more expensive pen by Pineider in the future.

My Avatar UR Twin Tank Touchdown in Devil Red with a fine nib writes incredibly smoothly and consistently with no issues. It is a true fine, which I appreciate in my writing. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a fine line that is both wet and truly produces an even line with most inks

This pen filler is a game changer, especially for vac fillers. Before, I could only get maybe 50% fill on a vac filler, but with this pen filler I get pretty close to a full fill. Just put the ink in, insert the pen, invert the whole thing, and fill! The markings on the side are very useful, and the filler is super easy to clean. It's very portable too!

I absolutely love this pen! It has the most amazing flex nib and is a dream to write with. It’s my first flex nib pen, and it’s so unique. Also the resin body is beautiful, and I really like the weight, length and balance of the pen in hand. Such a beautiful and unique writing implement!

This pen has unique feature set. Magnetic cap, vacuum filler with dual ink chambers, end cap with slot lock and spring are all interesting designs and have work pretty well. However, the fit and finish of the one I received is just average compared to other pens at similar price points, especially Japanese ones. Gaps are here and there. Grip shell (red portion in my case) is not completely coaxial with the barrel side of grip. The joint ring will catch your finger when you slide back and forth along the grip section. I wonder if the demo version with metal grip and end cap would have better tolerances. But also considering the discount I luckily had and that it is made of nearly unbreakable resin paired with very decent Bock steel nib, the overall value is surely above average although not excellent yet in my opinion.
