Monteverde Ritma Fountain Pens Reviews

I love the substantial feel of the Ritma, and the photos don't adequately show just how nice the carbon fiber is. It is a heavy pen, but fir me, that creates a great feel. If you don't like a heavy pen, this isn't the one. I will add, as someone that is really into the presentation (I know some don't), I was disappointed with the external box. It is larger than the typical Monteverdi and solid, however, it is just a printed image to the carbon fiber pattern. Could be a Xerox B&W printed paper wrapped onto box. More integrity with box for the box finish, even just their logo printed or a typical box would have been better. Unfortunate detail.

I really like the pen with the stub nib. I like its weight, the magnet in the cap and how it fits in my hand. My only complaint is that the ink flow stops sometimes after I've been writing for a while.

This was my first Ritma and I totally am in love with it. I loved it so much, I bought 2 more of them from Pen Chalet. Solid pen with a fun to play with magnetic cap. I love the pop sound when you place the cap back on. Not too heavy but for sure a solid well made pen. I hope they come out with more colors. A green would be just awesome to add to my collection. Thanks Pen Chalet for the great deal and amazing customer service.

This is a great pen! Do not hesitate to buy if you are considering. My medium writes very well, very smooth and no trouble starting even after a few days.

I liked this pen so much I bought a second one: this time blue.

I like a pen with heft in the nature of Mont Blanc or Waterman, and this one satisfied me in that regard. The magnetic air-tight cap is the first real innovation I have seen in a pen in years.

I don't mind the weight though I generally like the lighter pens. I do like the metal section better than I expected to, and the diameter of the section works well for me. It certainly looks different than all the other pens I have. After reading several other reviews concerning the converter popping lose causing leaks, I used a refilled Waterman cartridge (Long int'l) and stuffed a paper ball at the top of it to help prevent it slipping out of the section. Not sure it was needed, but for such a simple preventative step it just made sense to try. Writes pretty wet for an EF nib, with the Van Dieman's Eucalyptus ink included with this order.

Very nice pen. Need to handle with care to avoid scratching the metal finial at the bottom. Smooth writing and glide. Overall good price and product.

its well balanced and very nice looking pen

Disappointed in this pen. The nib is scratchy and the finger section is very wide for a female hand. It isn't very comfortable to write with.

Great quality and good value.
