Fountain pens for school, honestly reviewed

Many schools in the city still ask for a fountain pen in Class 5. Here is what survives a school bag.

Some schools in the city still start fountain pens in Class 5, and a good first pen matters.

A steel nib, not a fine one

A medium steel nib forgives pressure and does not scratch.

A converter, not cartridges

Bottled ink is cheaper and teaches care. Our Pagewise pen takes both.

A cap that clicks

If you cannot hear it close, it will open in the bag.

Our own fountain pen comes in four colours and costs less than a box of cartridges from most brands.
