Pilot Falcon Fountain Pens Reviews

Writes well..excellent choice for a daily pen

Falcon is a beautiful pen. I'm new to fountain pens so don't have lots of comparisons, but I enjoy writing with it. Pen Chalet had the best price on this pen.

This was my first gold nib pen, and I wasn't disappointed. The Soft Extra-Fine is a bit scratchy, but writes well on cheap paper. It's a little flexy too, so there's plenty of line variation when you want it. The Soft Fine or even Soft Medium might be a bit better for normal writing, but the SEF is good for my chicken scratch. Because of the downward curve of the nib, I have to make a conscious effort to hold the pen at a shallower angle to the paper. All said, this is a great pen!

I purchased the broad and it's a little much for my style of writing. It's very smooth and a pleasure to write with.

LOVE my BRIGHT RED, strong beautiful pen. Medium (size) flex nib, my first flex, and it works great. Note: You veterans of the flex know it takes some learning before you get it exactly right. Once the finer muscles of the headbone, eyebone, and handbone get to workin, my-oh-my, you can have some fun. Personally, I've had to train my hand to PUSH harder with this one, versus my other fountain and calligraphy pens, and the reward is a suble variance in the writing that can make people think you're more interesting than you really are.

Excellent pen for the value. Writes beautifully for a 14K gold nib. Have no problems with buying another Namiki/Pilot pen again!

WOW what a great pen! I got the fine point and I must say it is an excellent writer and a great value. It is one of the pens I use all the time.

I have a great collection of pens, many beautiful ones, and some I use all the time. This is one of them! And Pen Chalet is tops to do business with!

As a lefty, I was warned against getting the Pilot Falcon SEF. I was told it wold be a terrible writer and I would tear my pages to pieces just trying to write. All of this advice was COMPLETELY WRONG. This pen is an absolute wonderful writer. I love the feedback it gives as I write, and although I don't get as much line variation as I thought, I still get enough of it to make me happy. This pen is a must if you're coming from dip pens. It writes beautifully and it's perfect for drawing too. I really recommend this pen!

Nice classic design with good weight and balance. I ordered a Medium nib, but in retrospect, I would have ordered a Broad nib only because I like a heavier line with the possibility of line variations. The actual writing is very smooth and the ink flow is consistent...it feels comfortable to write with this pen.

Scratchy at fine point.
