What we liked

  • + Five nib widths from 0.85 to 2.8 mm cover italic, round hand and foundational practice.
  • + Includes a converter plus four assorted cartridges (black, blue, red, green), so it can also use bottled ink.
  • + Left-hand set with chrome polished nibs made in Britain, listed for both beginners and advanced users.

Trade-offs

  • - Priced well above entry-level cartridge sets, and the nib sections are chisel-edge only, not pointed.
  • - Cartridge-based pen with a modest 11-piece kit, so you still need paper and a guide for practice.
