HelixOxford Premium Ballpoint Pen (Blue Ink) with Plastic Free Packaging

This is very nice ballpoint pen with a twisty, rather than push action, and you can put a new inky thing in when it runs out.

Good value for money. Neat writer and okay grip. Very stylish though. The ink flow is not perfect but it could get better with time.

I use mine mostly for sketching with Zebra Carbon waterproof ink.It makes a nice, smooth, consistent line. Even loaded with waterproof ink it started immediately after being left capped for over a month.It feels nice and balanced in my hand (I use it without the cap posted) and is enjoyable to sketch and write with.It's a real bargain and an easy recommendation.

I'm absolutely thrilled that you can still buy these. For me, the best fountain pen on the market, easily trumps my Parker. Comfortable to hold, a nice weight, looks the part and you feel good writing with it. Highly, highly recommended.

For the price paid I was very surprised at the quality of the pen. Writes nicely and takes branded cartridges. Has a nice feel, akin to a more expensive pen.

These are my favorite pens, they are a but heavier than most which I find easier to wrote with and they are really really smooth

It writes fine but comes disassembled , so you have to assemble it yourself. The ink flow is average too.

Somehow, this pen has lasted me over 4 years. I bought a converter to allow me to refill with ink, and it fit into the pen perfectly. The clip on the lid did break off, but I also had a terrible habit of fiddling with it. Value for money is excellent. Thickness of writing can be a bit variable and I do get ink splodges often, however, I would not know if that is normal or related to user error since this is the only fountain pen I have ever used. I bought this as a low-waste alternative to plastic single use pens and have not not looked back.
