Pelikan Pura Silver Fountain pen

Review Title: Attractive pen, with a few performance issues

Review Add on: 25-06-2019
Average Rating: (4)

The pen design is good — clean lines, solid heft in hand, nice craftsmanship. The grip section is smooth metal and it does become slippery quickly, so this pen is not ideal (for me, at least) for long writing sessions. The main drawback for me is the nib. It is very finicky about he angle I use and it frequently has skips and hard starts. I will probably need to have the nib tuned because its performance reduces my enjoyment when writing. That said, the pen is a nice and simple design, and at a fair price.

Review Title: Review For Pelikan Pura Grey (F)

Pen looks luxury from its matt/polish finish.
Capping or posting the pen cap requires slight bit of effort for it to lock in place.
Pen is on the heavy side w/o posting which is to my personal liking.
Not sure if its Pelikan pens or was it just the piece I had. It takes time before ink flows properly to the nib.
I installed it with Kaweco ink cartridge and it took 1 cartridge to kind of "prime" the feed before the insufficient flow or baby bottom like symptoms stops.
the slit of the nib, you will be able to tell if pen runs dry as you can see a through the slit.
The Nib kinds of repel ink preventing ink from staining the top.
Pen writes quite smoothly w/o scratchy sounds.
Price for the Pura is reasonable with the built quality.
