I bought the Sheaffer fine point Viewpoint Calligraphy Pen two days ago. I have had a problem with this pen flooding, blotting and leaking from the first time I attempted to use it. There are ink stains on my desk, my arms, six out of ten fingers and most likely my nose or mouth (as I've probably absent mindedly scratched at an itch). Not little ink dots, either. It looks as if a clumsy cop attempted to finger print me. I'd love to sit and write more about this pen, but I have to go wash my hands--AGAIN.

The ink gets everywhere, it is so annoying, it even gets on the grip, and I don't think that is supposed to happen. The pen itself works, and comes with 2 ink refills, one blue one black. But i don't really like it, i can't use it without getting my hands black, the delivery was fast though.

I have used Sheaffer pens (manufactured by Bic- fyi) for years and am very disappointed in the new design. The "cut out" for the ink level is in a bad location. It causes difficulty when trying to make certain letters if your nib is not lined up correctly, your pen may slip if your hand is over this HOLE and the edges are sharp. I don't understand the need for a HOLE to view ink levels. Why not a transparent barrell? I have fairly small hands and the hole cuts into my hand with every letter. I recommend changing brands

I have owned one of these for some months and have yet to experience any undesirable effects. My hands are large, though.

i like fountain pens this one is nice i have many friends that saw me using it and wanted to try it. they deemed it the snazzy pen
