Pineider Alchemist Kilauea Blue Fountain pen

I was really excited to receive my Alchemist pen. As always, Appelboom’s price was very competitive. I was not disappointed. The quill nib is a pleasure to write with and gives a juicy flow of ink. The texture of the body is very comfortable to hold/grip. This pen compares well to some of my Visconti HS lava pens. A great success.

Pineider Alchemist Kilauea Blue Fountain pen

Review Title: Pineider Alchemist Kilauea Blue, Fine Steel Nib Fountain Pen

Aesthetically, the pen is lovely to look at and, in my opinion, is even more attractive than the gold nib version, especially when uncapped. The material feels very much like Visconti lava pens --warm and comfortable. The ergonomics of the writing experience are excellent with this pen. However, where the pen really shines is the nib. This is, without question, the most enjoyable steel nib I have ever used. It is soft, bouncy and comparable in writing experience to many of my much more expensive gold nib pens. In fact, if I were to use this pen blindfolded, I would likely think I was writing with a gold nib pen--it is that good! Overall, I give this pen my highest possible recommendation. The value for the price-including build quality, aesthetics, material and especially the outstanding nib-are well worth the price. As usual, ordering from Appelboom is a pleasure--and who doesn't like opening a package that contains stroopwafel cookies? Thanks Appelboom.
