Diplomat Viper Fountain Pens Reviews

Big fan of Diplomat fountain pens, including the Viper. Nice size with a professional look. Smooth writing. Love the hooded nib, but I have to be aware of "rolling" it so that it stays in the "sweet" spot. Although the nib section is metal, it does not feel slick. For the price, it is a great pen for daily use (like the Lamy 2000).

Great fountain pen. I really like it writes smoothly. Would highly recommend this fountain pen.

Nice pen! Smooth finish - nice to hold. Med/Fine nib writes like a Fine, very smooth. Magnetic cap holds and posts well - does not rotate! When writing though I do have to readjust my finger position occassionally- my problem. Overall another fantastic pen fron Diplomat!!!

A nice pen. The section is a little slick for me so I grip closer to the body. I have not had any hard starting issues. Ink flow is good, nib is smooth, and the magnetic cap seems to close tightly preventing ink evaporation. You may need to use some care recapping the pen; it could be a bit noisy in a meeting or classroom setting. The pen has a nice balance in my hand. While the cap can be posted I don’t as a posted pen feels, and looks, odd to me. I feel this pen makes a good first/backup pen for anyone.

Very solid pen! We enjoy this greatly. Honestly a treat to write with. Good weight to it, and the magnetic cap is EXCELLENT - could spend a lot of time just snapping it on and off. The hooded nib works incredibly well with the pen body, and the nib is solid - our mother, who has used fountain pens for longer than us, called this a bit scratchy, but to be quite honest, we prefer it to some "less scratchy" pens. Lovely flow! Well worth the price tag!
