Faber-Castell F148621 E-MOTION FOUNTAIN PEN PURE BLACK F

The pen is heavy and looks unusual, but it is well designed and built, with a good balance and an excellent nub. Smooth and reliable, consistent and decently wet. Overall an excellent pen.

OK, so I have been on a bit of a pen splurge lately, but I could not resist this one at the price I paid for it.This brings us to the E-Motion Medium nib Faber-Castell fountain pen. What it lacks in fancy, superfluous packaging it makes up for with smooth, even writing that is a real pleasure. I am amazed how well this one does everything it is supposed to. It also has a very good clip (something I don't usually look at that much, but this one is solid). The weight from finial to finial is impressive, it posts well, and it is simply a really great pen. I recommend the Faber-Castell E-Motion if you are looking for a fairly low cost workhorse pen.

Great pen, well designed, adequate weight, fluid, smooth writing. Superb.

Faber-Castell is known for technical pens, and as an architec, I use their products. They also make general purpose fountain pens. This is the second one I've bought, and it's truly a pleasure to write with. I bought the medium tip nib. It's quite heavy and I don't use it with the cap secured on the barrel like I do with other fountain pens for balance. This one is a stubby cigar and feels nice in the hand, rests comfortably whatever your writing style. Whether you write using the pen almost perpendicular, or like me with the pen almost at 45-degrees to the paper, with the barrel closer along my thumb. The ink flows incredibly smoothly and there's no stutter no matter how fast you write. I have done some small sketches with it, and the ink flow is fast enough for even quick strokes. I have another identical but different style (pear wood black) Faber-Castell pen, so this is my second pen. Why did I buy it? Because I knew that the writing style would be great and it's a pen that I can carry around - and leave my pear wood style pen at home.

The pen is fantastic, there is a rubbery feeling to the touch, interesting how the company was able to achieve this (assuming that no coating was used) as the pen is anodized.It gives you a nice heavy yet balance feeling to the touch.Despite the heavier touch it is very comfortable to write with.On the plus side a ink converter is included with the pen!I have rated with four (not five) stars since there is room for improvement on the packaging.I am in with being practical but Faber Castle could do better, very poor packaging for such a rich pen.

I own many expensive fountain pens, and this is one of the best values. Feels solid. Never a dry start. Smooth and fun to write with. Very durable, finish is resistant to scratches or nicks. Faber Castell nibs are consistently great writers. I'd rate it a 6 out of 5!

Very sturdy pen. Reminds me of when Rotring was making fountain pens. At the end of the world, this pen will still survive. The shipping left much to be desired, but this pen was worth the very long wait. The nib is quite smooth. A joy to write with.

This is a great EDC. I’ve heard it described as a swat pen. I’m a former LEO, and this thing is definitely built tough, but I couldn’t believe how smooth it is in a fine nib. I included a writing sample in colorverse quasar ink.Being a woman, I was worried about it being too heavy, but it’s fine. I wanted something cheaper than my montblancs and homo sapien in case I lost it, and this is it. No hard starts or skipping. Cap posts well and this is a very solid pen.
