I have this set (purchased elsewhere), I do not recommend it. As others have indicated, the acrylic easily cracks, even with very careful handling and use. Both of my barrels cracked at the section threads. Note that I did not overthread, nor applied any pressure. Perhaps, the acrylic is also subject to temperature changes. Nib is sub-par, at best. Poor quality product... awesome inks!

Satisfied with my purchase. Two pens allows you to try two different inks. You get the one with the drop, then go online and find a seller that has samples and buy a bunch of those to try out. Once you find an ink you like, and if you eventually do get into fountain pens, there are a whole slew of styles and varieties of pens and nibs out there. I've discovered a new, relatively inexpensive hobby. Now I am learning how to write in cursive all over again. Good for the brain, they say. Write a letter to your mom, she'll appreciate it.

Two $1 feeling pens plus 10ml of ink... You must be having a laugh.

lucylimetimeThe pens retail for $17.99 on amazon. If you're looking for a good beginner kit, it's better pricing than there.

Compared to other budget fountain pens I have, I feel these are quite poor quality. Also for a medium they write fairly fine and the ink flow is not that great. I'll probably stick to mu Jinhao's for budget pens.

Pens are a joke for this price. I had been wondering about them and found one in the back of a stationary store that had given up on the fountain pen game, so the lady gave me a deal on the remainder of their j. Herbin cartridges. If you're new to fountain pens and this seems a good deal, it is categorically not. Please don't buy them.

I would love to see this as an ink drop. I have used J. Herbin inks, just lovely. If this was a collection of their inks in 10 ml size it would be delightful. The featured pens however, ummm, no.
