Noodlers Neponset Fountain Pens Reviews
Ok, I LOVE this pen. The three tines make for a fabulous range of line width. Writing casually, I can get some nice hair-thin or thicker lines without having to push too hard at all - basically nice line variation easily with my natural writing pressure. Pushing much harder results in a fabulous thick line. It's almost like the nib is a metal paint brush. I think this is the closest thing to a dip pen nib you'll get in a fountain pen.
Occasionally the feeder will dry up, and I'll shake the pen downward over another sheet of paper until a drop of ink splashes out, to bring the flow back into it - I think it's because this thing is pushing the limit of what a feed can do for a fountain pen. Which I'm fine with, it works hassle-free like 90% of the time.
Good solid feel to the pen too. And the finish is beautiful, I got "Emeralds on the Sun". This has become my most-used pen, both for calligraphic writing and for drawing. $75 is a great price for an art tool of this quality.

Nib was not aligned right out of the box! Writes like crap compared to my other neponset.

Pen is beautifully made and writes very well. The music nib behaves well and is very smooth with a generous ink flow.

This pen is as lively as it is functional. I write and draw with it every day. I’m going to get another one.

I bit pricey for an acrylic fountain pen. There is an odor though not as bad as the other Noodler’s fountain pen. The nib is stiff in my opinion so it doesn’t fles easily. What I like about this pen and the only reason I like it is it is really good with shimmering inks. I have it filled with Diamine shimmer inks. The nib has not given me any issues with shimmering inks.

Love this pen! Especially great for shimmer inks as it really puts down the ink so you can really see the shimmer - writes really wet and flowing! Obviously, quality of the paper matters, but truly one of my favorite pens! I have two of them, Carpathian and Olde Salem - both are really works of art with depth and richness of colors. Many folks say they have to "tinker" with the Noodler's pens to get them to work correctly, but I have these as well as several Ahabs and Konrads and all have been perfect right out of the box and all work really beautifully with the shimmer inks. Very happy with my Noodler's Pens and Pen Chalet's customer service is always top notch!
