Platinum 3776 Century Fountain Pens Reviews

I'm loving the pen. Its beautiful and writes like a dream, smooth as silk, even flow, comfortable to hold.

The fine nib Platinum 3776 Century is by far my favorite pen. Most impressive is the even ink flow. Unlike the ink flow with Pilot gold nibs that can vary considerably based on pen stroke direction, the Platinum gold nibs lay down a crisp even line regardless of direction. If you prefer ink pooling in the bottom of your letters to demonstrate ink shading qualities, the Platinum gold nibs may not be the best choice. If, like me, you appreciate precise crisp even lines, the Platinum 3776 Century is perfect. The next most impressive quality of the 3776 Century is the nib feedback. The feedback through the fine nib is incredibly smooth, but somewhat pencil-like in that you can feel the fibers in your paper. For me, the added feedback provides better control. An apt analogy is a sports car or motorcycle with a stiff but pliant suspension for better control and handling at speed and in corners. Although my favorite pen, there is room for improvement. In my opinion, I would prefer if the pen had a bit more heft. Also, rather annoying for pen of such high quality is that when you tap the barrel the converter rattles against the inside of the barrel. To end with one more positive quality, I can flush the 3776 Century faster than any other pen. The excellent converter can be flushed out with just a couple of squirts from an ink syringe with no annoying trapped ink. As for the feed and nib, a bulb syringe fits perfectly over the feed intake tube, creating a tight seal that allows you to force water through the feed and nib with no spray back. I

This is my first gold nib (soft tip) and I love how it writes. It is smooth but just a hit of feedback which I like. The soft tip has just a hint of flex for some line variation and it has worked great with every ink I've used. It is the one pen I always keep inked it. With the Platinum's special caps, the nib is always wet. And it looks great.

Smooth and excellent writing experience.

Ultra extra fine! This pen writes beautifully, no hard starts, nice and steady lines, definitely no skipping. I can write with a super teeny tiny font and it is very legible. In person the chartres blue color is really pretty. This pen is Very well constructed pen, and perfectly finished. I am happy with my purchase!

This is my first Platinum pen and I'm very happy with the purchase. The fit and finish are top notch. The pen writes well with a slight amount of feedback which was expected - it's a good writing experience. I purchased the M nib which is consistent with other Japanese nibs being about a step or so finer than western nibs. I prefer to post my pens and this pen appears to be designed for posting with nice weight in the cap which gives it a really good balance when posted. The only thing I would like to see is for the converter to be included - Pen Chalet makes clear it's not, but somehow I still missed it. On the whole, it's a really nice pen and is already high in the rotation!

Awesome pen. I do not usually buy a pen that expensive, but I really like it. Great nib.

I love this pen. It's beautiful.

As advertised, this is an excellent pen. I would highly recommend it.

I currently use this pen for my journaling. It's such a pleasure to write with that I've actually improved my habit of journaling and look forward to writing with this pen. Up until now, I've never thought that a pen could invoke such feelings. I'm glad to have this pen and hope to use it as much as I can.
