I'm looking for a pen that I can engrave and give as a present. What is the opinion in doing it on this pen??? Suggestions???

I'm afraid you will have to direct your question to the pen manufacturer to check if the material of the pen is suitable for engraving.

In my personal opinion, this would be a great pen for it. The pens with the black laquer would have to have a very professional engraver not to damage them. This pen should be easy to engrave and should look quite nice. As for the quality of the pens in itself as a gift.... All I can say is "Go for it"I have no regrets about buying this pen. Nice beautiful handling. Nice strong (Yet slightly bending) nib. Nice ink flow.Best regards.-V

It would depend on who was doing the engraving, and what their engraving equipment can handle, but since the metal the cap and barrel it's made of is fairly thick, I would say engraving would work out just fine.

Hi Amy- these are very wet pens with thick ink. I doodle with them on mail all the time. I just have to give them time to dry. The thick ink looks cool. They aren't my favorite. Try singles at michaels.

I like to draw with it. The pen feels good in my hand. I rest my index finger alongside the clip. The nib has a little springiness to it. The line will be a little on the narrow side of whatever nib size you choose. The cartridge or cartridge converter does not hold a lot of ink. Keep that in mind, when choosing your nib size. if you are looking for a permanent ink, you could try Noodler's Black or any of the Bullet Proof / Eternal inks from Noodlers. Those inks are permanent to cellulose based products only. To reduce residue buildup, the fountain pen should be flushed regularly. Great fountain pen. I hope this has helped.

Yes, Eric. It is thick and you will love it. What kind of fountain pen do you enjoy writing with? I am asking to get inspired by you :)

That is a good question. I have not continue to mess with them. I found the stem in the fountain pen is weak. Some broke off. I used a small narrow nail to poke the hole but it will not go into the pen. So I am not recommending them for purchase unless they include the proper ink with them. I will revisit them today because you asked. I will get back to when I figure this out. Take care Bill

It's just perfect for me... My nephew used them first (through college) and he introduced them to his mom- She loves them. Then I was introduced to them and I love them! Then my parents each discovered them and love them. They not only have a comfortable grip, but they write smooth... I have never used a better pen!!

I used a fine point permanent marker on it and it bled through, I've never used a fountain pen before on it, so I'm not sure, sorry!

Also, you have 2 nibs, one is used to write thin or gross, like to do a signature, and the second is to write normal.To re-fill is too easy, but I can't explain in few words, so sorry. The pen is excellent!!

It would be a great graduation gift. There is no maintenance involved. Replacing ink cartridges or filling from an ink bottle is easy, without any mess. Directions come with the pen set. I use my pet daily for journal writing. It actually writes better, the more you use it.

Hi Supermom: You can use this pen with the little ink cartridges made for it or you can use the refillable one that comes with it. You just hold the valve end into a bottle of ink while pulling up on the little plunger which sucks the ink into the chamber and, bingo! Insert it into the nib just like you would a prefilled cartridge. Get ink specifically for fountain pens. Other inks may clog the nib too often. If it is archival quality it will say so on the bottle. These pens are not maintenance free at all. But if you get one that flows really well, it is a joy to use. Certain people just like the scratch and flow of liquid ink vs. ball point pens. The calligraphy squared-off nib on this peb is especially fun and there aren't very many fountain pen manufacturers that make a really high end pen with a calligraphy nib. This one is not considered high end, but it is much nicer than the plastic ones. (I'm not knocking the plastic ones - I like anything with different width nibs and a good flow!) Lots of Duke owners love this pen. Mine won't flow so I'm going to try a higher quality ink to see if that helps. There are other adjustments I can try before I give up on it - it's a great looking, good-feeling pen and the nib is nice quality. TMI?

Sorry - this pen was purchased as a gift for someone else so I really don't know anything about what it will do.

Hi. I know. This pen make me frustrating every single day. I just put it in the garbage can. I bought new sailor fountain pen. sailor make great quality fountain pens. (expensive or chip It doesn't matter.) all sailor pens are great. I bought extra fine nib pen and medium pen. both are so good. I ordered Amazon and those were ship from Japan.

The metal is actually rather thin and soft. A ballpoint pen was not enough, in my experience, but a pointed tool was. I do think metal stamping might work well, but I didn't try it myself so I can't say for sure.

Hi annibell, right after you place your order review the order on your orders page and click on that item to contact seller and go through the steps. All they need is simple instruction on what you would like. Theycan even do some simple designs if requested by sending them a google pic of what you wish to have engraved. I had a simple tribal design. Hope this helps!!! Customer service was spectacular by the way!! :)

You may take the bracelet to a local jeweler when it is received and have whatever you'd like (that will fit) engraved, however we cannot offer engraving service through Amazon. Here is a link to help you choose what engraving to include when you take it to have it done: https://www.stickyj.com/medical-id-what-to-engrave

Ya, just make sure you let it dry.I takes a long time. I am not a huge fan of dippy pens but I have a set and if youre after a certain line it works. Im drawing "illuminated" letters w this ink. I did a calligraphy wall plaque too.its a hoot.Drives ppl nuts."Why do you have a blank paper on the wall?"

Well Cindy, that is something I haven't ever tried....give me a minute to run it through my Big Shot and I will let you know. How's that? DRUM ROLL....for dramatic effect!!! I used an embossing folder by Darice mainly for the style of design and it worked beautifully. I ran one piece through several times and it looks OK while having a slight curve in it like most paper or card stock. Then I ran a second piece through once then back to the starting position because it is easier to remove the folder from that position and it looks great too, without quite as much curve. The flower design is embossed in the plastic very well with no tearing or milky look around the edges, that I was concerned about. I chose this folder because the design has several sizes of daisy like flowers, some swirls formed from dots and also a couple tiny hearts. Besides the curve I can see no difference in the results. None of the designs in the folder caused a puncture in the plastic especially the dotted swirls. I believe you would be very happy with the Cuttlebug results too. So go for it...and by the way, thanks for asking, I love passing along information that I have learned so others can increase their knowledge and fun in their creativity. Don't forget you can stamp on this with a permanent ink too and color it. Have fun!
