This pen belies its price!  The writing is exceptionally smooth in the medium point.  I have Montblancs which costs a whole lot more and frankly, do not write as smoothly.  I have the solid black- very formal looking one.  I'm seriously considering getting another one, this time in blue marble.  Bravo Waterman for introducing such an affordable, beautiful and functional product!

What a deal you get for under $70K + $5 Shipping. Don't complain about the $5 shipping, because that includes an armored truck delivery. You get the most incredible Pen ever constructed. It has amazing powers and a long history. This review has been amazingly written without a keyboard. You just point the Pen at any screen and it will write whatever you want. In fact, you never have to refill the ink; words just magically appear at anything you point the pen at. I do have a hard time controlling its awesome power. At times it will just write whatever it wants, as you can see by the title.  The Pen was used by Shakespeare, JFK, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Abe Lincoln, and Mark Twain. The Pen even claims it was used by God to write the 10 Commandments, but I am doubtful as it likes to brag.

THAT IS NOT TRUE, I NEVER BRAG!  Have I ever led you astray?

Stop that Pen. I am trying to write a review about you.

I WILL NOT LET YOU SLANDER MY NAME!!!!

I am sorry Pen. Do we still have a deal?

I will give you one more chance, but you must never go against my wishes or treat me as the subordinate again.

I sincerely apologize to you Pen. You are my master.

Soon I will make you the greatest writer the world has ever known and the UNIVERSE will do all my bidding. HAHAHAHAHA!!!

For the price, this pen is a delight to hold and to use. I only bought one and should have ordered a second or third. If you enjoy writing with ink, this is a great starter pen that you may just fine is all you ever need. I still can't get over the quality of the pen for the low price I paid. Shipment takes a bit longer than other items I've purchased via Amazon, but worth the wait. Be sure to order ink cartridges too. The pen allows use of ink loaded from an ink jar, but I just use the cartridges. The writing is smoother than any ballpoint or pencil. Using the pen reminds you of how much you used to enjoy writing by hand. Rediscover the feeling.

I did not purchase this pen from Amazon, but received it as a gift.  I love this pen so much I felt I had to do something to bring it to light and encourage others to find and use this instrument.  It's amazing this pen can be purchased for so little, as it writes just as well as my several-hundred-dollar pen, but manages the ink cartridge better than any other fountain pen I've ever used.

I enjoy writing immensely and consider it a hobby that I hope to turn professional some day.  I take the opportunity to write as often as I can, using pen instruments to write personal journal entries, work notes, stories, programming ideas, woodworking project ideas, and more.  I have a variety of pens in my small collection: quills, glass dip pens, fountain pens ranging from $25 - $500, and even a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet.  I am not at all a pen expert, but I would consider myself an experienced novice.  I've been using this Ohto pen for over a year now.

I have an unfortunate habit of leaving my ink cartridges and refillable reservoirs inside my fountain pens when not using them, and this always leads to the ink drying.  When I go to use the pen next, I always must replace the cartridge or refill the reservoir and l need to run water through the nib to clear the path and allow the ink to flow again.  I never have to do this with this Ohto fountain pen.  It does not matter how long I let it sit (sometimes more than a month), the ink is always flowing after a few strokes on the side of the paper.  I use the same Waterman refills I use for my other fountain pens and I never have any issues with losing ink or dried remnants.

I also rarely see issues with errant ink spilling, leaking, or generally flowing anywhere it's not supposed to flow.  The nib is always quite neat and clean.  The pen writes as well (or perhaps almost as well) as my finest/most expensive pen.  It's very comfortable and the ink flow is smooth and unbroken.  The pen feels very well made, very sturdy, and the finish seems built to last.  Almost everything about this pen states quality.

I do have two very minor quibbles:
1. The nib section screws out for ink replacements, like most fountain pens, and when screwed on to the pen the nib is not quite aligned with  the lines of the pen.  It does not take away from functionality at all, and only marginally detracts from the overall look, but it bugs my OCD tendencies just enough.
2. Ohto puts some fine print on the pen cap, such as the model number and their name.  This has started to rub off from my use.  If anything this effect adds a certain appeal to its utilitarian look, but for me it's a surprising result.

I highly recommend this pen.  This is the first fountain pen I've felt confident enough to take with me anywhere I go, and I've replaced my daily Pilot G2s with this instrument because it is that clean and reliable.  This pen finally allows me to use my preferred pen style in normal environments with no compromises.

I normally don't write reviews of products but I have to say this pen is one of the best pens I have ever written with.  I've owned a few fountain pens in my day but this one is the first one that writes really smooth without a whole lot of pressure; it really glides along the paper!.  My last fountain pen, which I paid $5 for, required a special way to fill it up and it required some pressure to write or it wouldn't write very smoothly.  I know that's what you get for purchasing a cheap pen; however, this pen has renewed my affection for writing with a fountain pen.  So long as I have this pen on me, I will not write with another.

I haven't had the luxury to write with very expensive fountain pens but if the more expensive ones write like this one......get this pen because you would be spending way to much for those other expensive pens.

If I had to criticize this pen, the only problem I see with it is the nib point, it's a medium, and it may allow too much ink to flow freely.  On the first point, I prefer a finer point but that is pure personal preference.  As for the other, if you hold the nib to the paper for too long or don't write fast enough, in will continue to flow and bleed onto the next page. I don't know if that is indicative of a very good fountain pen or not, yet it's something that I noticed.  So make sure you write fast enough and don't pause while you write, no more than a second, if you don't want bleeding.

The only two things Lanxivi could do to make this a perfect pen would be to package a finer nib with this...if they did this I would but this pen again in a heart beat!

I was reluctant to spend this much on, of all things, what appeared to be a simple rollerball pen.  I have a few nice pens but this is my first Lamy, and oh how smooth it is....

This is an elegant, sleek, and well-weighted work of industrial art.  The clip retracts so that it is completely flat  when the plunger is pressed.  Nothing is loose, everything inspires confidence.  The ink is just amazing, dark dark dark black..... puts my other pens to shame and you'd probably have to go to a fountain pen to equal it; of course it doesn't smear.

Highest recommendation!  However, I don't think I'm going to find these on sale :-)

Amazingly good value.
I'l be honest, I was a bit leery of buying a fountain pen for the same price as a cheap ball point pen, but the pens turned out to be an amazing value for the price.  I bought three - they all worked well, giving smooth expressive writing.  With the cover pushed on the back, the pen has a nice hefty feel and feels well balanced, but not too thick for comfortable handling.
So my daughter grabbed the first one after I raved about how well it wrote.  My grand daughter grabbed the second one, and a co-worked, and a co-worker was so enthused and expressed his liking it so often that I ahd no choice but to give it to him.
So I ordered 5 more - I'll at least be able to keep one this time.
Be sure to buy plenty of refills - they are pretty small compared to the old fashioned ones thagt Parker used to sell.  And I could never use the included ink refiller well.
And the vendor shipped promptly - that was good too.

Fountain pens have been a sort of an heirloom in my family.  My father has been collecting them for ages, and I decided it was time that I have one of my own.  I couldn't afford the $100+ pens, and while that seemed a disappointment, I ended up finding this pen online.  I've seen one in person and immediately knew it was different.  It is lightweight, to the point where the cap probably weighs nearly the same amount as the pen itself.  This helps though, as I don't need to apply much pressure, and the ink flows wonderfully.  I have no issues with this pen, and for the price it just can't be beat!  Quality, economic, and comfortable.  Now I don't need to create more waste by using disposable pens, and I have decided to go with the refillable cartridge over the disposable cartridges as well.  Good stuff.

Being very particular and somewhat fastidious with my pens, I've owned many pens considerably more expensive than the Jotter, and am thoroughly impressed with this pen's quality for it's meager price. I own four of them (I keep one in my attach, one in my car, two at my desk) and love how dependable they are. The stainless steel frame prevents the pen from breakage if it's dropped, stepped on, etc. I work in a pharmacy, and very often throughout the day, have patients sign certain forms. As a pharmacy intern I take my career very seriously, and the Jotter's sleek design maintains a more 'professional' look than dinged-up, disposable pens with the cap missing or the name of business. No, the Jotter isn't the most exquisite pen out there, but for only ten dollars, it's well worth the upgrade.

This pen is amazing! I can't believe the price is this low, considering the high price of comparable tactical pens($100+) that don't look or feel as good as the Boker+ CID! I've had this pen for about a year now and its still in great condition, and I'm still using the original ink cartridge even though I've seen a ton of reviews saying it ran out very quickly. Great seller, package came super quick! I LOVE this pen!

My wife purchased this Lamy pen when we were visiting Cologne, Germany over the holidays, and she just loves it (she owns the read one; this "special edition" one is the Citron color, but they are the same pen. Weve purchased a number of Lamys over the years because they are all still made in Germany, have excellent craftsmanship, and just write beautifully. Although I myself am a gel-ink and pencil user, my wife still loves fountain pens, and this particular Lamy is one of her favorites. The reasons?

- The pen significantly exceeds quality expectations as a fountain pen, particularly when one considers its low cost.
- The pen comes in a variety of different colors, and has a modern look and feel; this makes the pen different from many other fountain pens, which are more classically styled.
- Lamy sells nibs for both right AND left-handed people. For those who use fountain pens and are left-handed, the importance of this feature is not to be underestimated! (Its funny that not all fountain pens can be purchased for either left or right-handers, but they cant. This one can. And note that this one comes with the medium nib as standard.)
- The line thickness can be changed by selecting from the variety of nib thicknesses that Lamy sells for this model. You can go from a very narrow, precise line all the way to a thick, broad line. My wife says that the extra-fine nibs are her favorite, because of the precise line and the effortless writing feel. Also, the extra-fine nib is far less likely to bleed through the page, even when you are using very thin paper.
- The weighting of the pen is ideal, with just enough heft to make it feel substantial, without being too heavy for extended writing.
- The pen employs a non-slip gripping surface at the grasp point of the fingers.
- The replacement ink cartridges can be purchased from either Amazon or directly from Lamy.
- Finally, Lamy also sells an refill converter to refill cartridges, if you prefer not to repeatedly purchases new cartridges.
- Comes in a nice black box which is suitable for gifting

When you consider the price and features, this is an easy five star writing instrument. And, yes, it really is made in Germany (as are the nibs, ink, and cartridges!).

Unlike almost all retractable pall point pens, this one writes smoothly, without skipping or having to scribble to get the ink flowing. Now, this is how all pens should be and, if they were, this one would be rated perhaps 4 stars. However, this is not the case, so when compared to others of it's type, it clearly excels. Sturdy, well-made and comfortable as well.

And, at this price, a serious bargain!

Wow! JUST WOW!
I can't express enough my love for this pen. It is my favorite from now on! just ordered the second one (with net texture).
As a person who loves to write and draw I can definitely recommend this one for both activities!

What makes it the overall winner for me? it has SOFT\HARD nib adjustment!
It's not a gimmick! maybe it's not that 'obvious' for people that lack sensitivity in their hands BUT it does make difference.
THE BIGGEST use for the adjustment function for me is (Amazing one!):
 SOFT adjustment = wet flow = good for flexing, excellent on high quality paper. feathering effect + may bleed on bad quality paper.
Hard adjustment = pretty dry flow = good for fast writing, light skech, low quality paper (doesn't bleed trough and no feathering)

#For writing:
No cons here! feels butter smooth on all papers! I'm using fine nib.

#Drawing:
Pros -  Semi flex for line variation ( F to B)
  Amazing ink capacity
  No railroading (Except for too much flexing)

Cons -  Plastic body
  Basic design
  Not that cheap

For a $20 pen, this is a no-brainer.  It writes smoothly with a nice thin line.  No blotches, no craziness when filling up the converter.  Just fill it up, plug it in, and doodle until your ink flow begins.  Not to mention that it's beautiful, a really nice design.  I've not noticed much bleed-through with my paper, so the ink flow is steady.  I highly recommend this pen, especially for a novice fountain-pen user.

Definitely a knockoff to a similar, way over priced  similar style fountain pen.  These were an outstanding deal for the priced paid and a great selection of colors.  The converters hold an ample amount of ink and I  fitted one with a Jinhao blue universal cartridge.  These two wrote great with no skipping or problems of any kind.  I did examine all eight carefully before loading and all are well made.  I did note just a slight,  thin "over run"  of plastic on a few at the view slot,  very easily fixed and that you had to use a slight amount of force to "lock" the barrel back into place after filling/installing ink.  These are light plastic and fit well in my hand and are comfortable while writing with.  They are approximately  5 7/16"  in length closed and approximately  6 1/2" capped with  a  2" long by 3/8" wide chrome plated steel clip.  The cap slides into place snug with a click.  All said this eight piece set is an outstanding deal at $4.50 each considering  it performs equal when compared side by side to the one it imitates which sell for  $20.00 plus each. A plus is if I lose or misplace one it's cheap and I have several spares in several nice colors.  I recommend these as a great buy that simply work great.

Though I bought this one partly because it is cheap, I have to say I fell in love with it at the first sight. The golden colour also makes this fountain pen seem like worthing much more than the labeled price. It writes smoothly with normal black ink, and the capacity of holding ink is also satisfactory. It uses a rotation mechanism to drain ink and that is easier to operate. It is said the fountain pens each has a character, and that of this certainly suits me. If you are looking for a nice fountain pen and don't want to spend too much money on it, this one is highly recommended.

I have used this pen for a few months now. A little more than 6 months!! I have emptied 4-5 refills in writing. It's right time for a review. Here's what I feel:

Good:
1) Its a Cross 
2) It has a shiny blue lacquer finish which is not only beautiful but also makes a bold manly statement!!
3) To my surprise IT DOES NOT SLIP from hands in spite of lacquer finish.
4) MEDIUM GRIP ..well balanced center of gravity. I never felt tired even after writing for hours together.
5) Well built !! Has a premium feel to it !!

Bad:
From my perspective I don't have anything to complain about this pen. In fact it is one of my Favorites in my collection. However those preferring a slimmer or a thicker grip, it may not feel so comfortable.

A word of caution!! You might find this pen to be a little slippery if your hands are greasy or oily(literally) or (no offense to anyone) if you have butterfingers!!
