Product Description
A budget-friendly fountain pen out of Germany, the Super5 has been recently updated with various body colors and nib sizes—all featuring the writing power of the original. The torpedo-shaped barrel is made of smooth, lightweight plastic, as is the click-on cap, while both the grip and clip are made of painted metal for added weight and durability Read More
I have had the Super5 pen since the first model came out. I love the how smooth it writes, the .5 stub is wonderful and the pen is ready to write after even a week+. When the new color version were offered on Massdrop, I ordered one of each with different nib sizes. (Except the white, I am just not a fan of white pens ).
I am eager to get the transparent version to add to them. I have fountain pens in many price ranges and I use the Super5 pens as much or more than my “better” pens. My personal favorite nibs are the .5 and the Medium. I have 5 of these pens and I have no hesitation in buying anther Super5.
I wasn't expecting much from this budget pen, and I'd never tried the brand before. However, I've been pleasantly impressed by this purchase! The pen stays wet and writes smoothly. I really like that the nib stays moist and drops thick, appropriately wet lines (rather than being too dry and skipping). Despite it's cost, the pen has a solid, weight-y feel to it. My only quibble is that the clip feels cheap and I wouldn't be surprised if it broke under heavy use (I don't use the clip much). Otherwise, a solid purchase - would by again.
This is the first Super5 Pen I've owned... and I made sure to buy the BROAD Nib.
I'm a Vintage Pen owner, but needed a daily writer that I could take to the office. This pen has a converter, and it just gets me through a whole day of writing. I have a bottle of ink at work and have had to fill it a few times when my writing habit got too much for the converter (the converter size is average).
The nib was smooth out of the box- and the included Cleaning Pack was a great thing to get as well.
I really, really like these pens. They write very well, with little or no feedback, and not-too-wet using Iroshizuku. They have a good weight and feel right in the hand. Sure, they're not as fancy as others, but overall, one of the better pens I've purchased on Massdrop.
I love Super 5s. They write beautifully. As a fountain pen collector for over 40 years, I can tell you these are fabulous everyday Writers. They hold a standard cartridge or converter of ink, they write well right out of the cap, and they are ready writers. Ink flow is awesome, even after sitting for days!
