Really good quality fountain pen, well finished and the nib is medium sized. Does not scratch or rub. Paintwork in eye catching metallic colors (only the purple is not metallic ).Easy writing, quite hard nib, but good for heavy writing!Made to last. Overall well balanced but on the light side. Excellent fountain pen for little money! Recommended!

Love the pens and writing with a fountain pen is so much better than disposable pens. My problem is with the ink cartridges. My first box of 24 about 6 of them won't affix to the nib. They won't click into place no matter how hard they are pushed. I write a lot so I'm on my 3rd box of 24 cartridges.

This is my first fountain pen and I have been really enjoying it. It took a couple days to really get the hang of it. At first the writing was a bit streaky, but I don't know if that was user error, or just getting the ink flowing well. After a couple weeks, the ink flows smoothly and reliably. I have had no issues with leaking. I think I might have preferred a fine tip, but this one writes very nicely and I still love it. The pen itself is a nice weight, although I prefer to write I posted. It also looks very nice. Overall, I'd say this is a great pen and I like that it came with ink cartridges.

Because of these Dryden’s I am in love with using fountain pens! This one is so beautiful; bought it to complete a set similar in appearance of ballpoint and similar pens plus an old mechanical pencil. It is so smooth, feels so good in my old, aging hands, and I love to find a reason to pick it up just to write with it in a journal for the heck of it! Love it! I am a beginner, if you haven’t guessed, to fountains- wished I would have found them a long time ago. I have gotten another brand but love the Dryden the best! A finely made pen for the excellent price! I want to have one color of each! Oh so rich in color! I just love to sit & look at them - I have 3 now! I highly recommend the Dryden! You won’t be disappointed! I was not bribed to write this, by the way! Buy one & you will see what I am talking about! Oh - the Royal Red will knock your socks off! Get her! She is a beauty to behold! Oh - and the blue- beautiful color! The Royal & Blue look so good side by side - not the darkest blue or the lightest but the middle blue color - OMGosh - handsome for sure! Treat yourself & get one of these fountains; they come in medium nibs, which I recommend - I think the Med is so much smoother than the fine nib - my personal take - get one!

I love this pen. Light and smaller than I imagined, but just right performs well. A nearly even flow of comfortable writing. I'm left-handed so occasionally a few gaps but I think it's me twiddling the pen, rather than the pen. It's such a pleasure to use. Would definitely recommend and buy again. Treat yourself. The joy experienced from writing with this quality work of craftsmanship is worth the price.

As a long-time fountain pen user I was a little skeptical. I was looking for a nice, smooth-writing and aesthetically pleasing pen for my wife who has never used a fountain pen. When I came across the Dryden pens they appeared to be what I was looking for without breaking the bank. I'm a sucker for a new pen so I bought two - one for me too. I chose the Mysterious Blue for my wife and added Serenity Blue ink from Waterman to match her pen. I bought the black pen for myself. When they arrived two days later I was pleasantly surprised! My daily writing instrument is a Waterman. The Dryden pen is slightly thinner but not too much so. It actually fit my wife's hand very well. It's 0.1oz lighter than my Waterman - hardly noticeable. The color and design is very nice. My wife said "it's beautiful!" The nib is medium. Filling the black one took six tries before it would draw ink up into the converter. The blue one drew immediately. The pen is well balanced with the cap on the end. The cap pushes onto the end but does not snap in place. It seems snug enough however. Putting pen to paper, the ink flow was immediate with no skipping. That was impressive. All fountain pens take a little breaking in. The nib does not scratch across the paper. It was very smooth - not quite as smooth as my Waterman but I suspect it will improve with use. All in all I'm impressed with the quality and engineering of these pens especially at this price. Compared to a Mont Blanc or a Waterman the metal edges and workmanship is not quite as refined. The clasp is stiff and not very smooth. I had to gently and slightly bend it to get it to clip on a piece of paper or in my pocket. But again - it's new and I'm sure will loosen up over time. It's a great first introductory pen for a novice and I'll enjoy using it too. I'll probably buy more of them for gifts. I give it 5 stars. You are getting more than your moneysworth with greater value and quality - something that's rare these days.

I very much enjoy both the look and feel of the Dryden Luxury Fountain Pen (metallic silver). It is well balanced (posted or unposted - whatever feels best to you), writes smoothly without scratching, and presents a classy yet clean appearance. I like a little heavier feel so I start with it posted, however, if my hand gets a little tired it feels fine unposted. Those who love fountain pens know it is quite easy to spend $100 to $300 on one. My Dreyden pen offers the classic look and quality function of a more expensive instrument. Materials come from the U.S., UK, Germany, HK, and Taiwan. Final assembly is done in China. Personal e-mails from the owner, MIchael Dreyden, are timely and address questions effectively. His concern for customer satisfaction is evident. I have received many e-mails from customer service departments, but not from the founder and CEO of a company (who also happens to be a master calligraphy artist). I own a Parker IM, which feels just a little wider than, but writes no better when I compared it to the Dreyden. I look forward to using the Dreyden.

Der Füller kommt in einem entsprechenden Samtsäckchen. Er fühlt sich kühl und metallisch an, liegt etwas schwerer als z.b. Ein Lamy in der Hand. Ich finde aber durchaus, dass es ein gutes Gefühl ist.Nachdem ich den Füller mal,auseinander geschraubt habe, war ich wirklich sehr positiv über die innenliegende Auffüllbare Miene erfreut! Das hatte ich irgendwie überlesen, aber sowas cooles habe ich schon lange nicht mehr gesehen!Leider hatte ich kein Tintenfass hier ( wird aber gekauft:-)), daher habe ich eine ganz billige 08-15 Patrone aus dem 1€ Shop genommen. Passst gut, hält, nix wackelt, klappt prima.Die schreibprobe hat mich sehr gefreut, da ich genau diese strichstärke bevorzuge! Der Füller schreibt sehr schön, kein kratzen oder Auslaufen der Tinte.Die Mischung aus Retro Style und Trendiger Farbe hat mich sehr angesprochen. Im Büro nutze ich immer einen Füller. Dieser ist einfach mal anders. Trends, chic und trotzdem edel und wie ich finde weder kitschig noch albern.Auch der Preis ist wirklich in Ordnung, vor allem da ja der Converter ( auffüllbare Miene) mit Dabei ist!Von uns wirklich eine klare KAUFEMPFEHLUNG!Wenn Ihnen meine Rezension und meine Fotos geholfen haben eine Kaufentscheidung zu treffen, dann würde ich mich sehr über einen KLICK BEI HILFREICH freuen, DANKE!
