Art Alternatives Pen & Ink Sketch Bundle
Hueston

Sep 24, 2015
This is quite the odd bundle. A very nice notebook combined with a pen that has probably one of the scratchiest iridium nibs around. I bought this little pen a while back for around $10 usd, they're sold mostly at art stores. It came with ink packs and a decent cartridge converter that held a decent amount of ink. The carrying roll it came with was made of cheap leather and was not a very good way to store this pen. The pen itself has a solid feel and a nice soft touch rubber coating. Pretty nice for $10 right? NO. This pen has one of the worst nibs i've tested and would not recommend it to anyone getting into the world of fountain pens. The nib is super scratchy and paper often gets stuck between the tines. It takes effort to get this nib to behave and for a inexperienced beginner it's probably not something they would now how to do. Even if you manage to get a good nib or fix it yourself you still have to deal with that nasty rubber coating that gets sticky and worn after a couple of month's use. There are plenty of cheap fountain pens out there that out perform this pen. The notebook is nice though!
