Everything was as described in the information. Completely satisfied with the pen it’s is my every day user definitely better than the pilot metropolitan however that pen is great for its price as well I use those two pens as a carry. Ink I’m not sure on because I am using my lamy blue cartridge still but I’m sure it will be good as well they look solid and so does the bottle. The pen does look charcoal color but it seems like it’s a brown tint to it sometimes wish I would have gotten a different color I love the petrol blue but that one didn’t come with any package deals so this is the most bang for your buck!

After receiving my Lamy Safari fountain pen gift set I became very frustrated with its performance. The ink was constantly clogging the nib of the pen. I cleaned it (don't forget that the pen is brand new!) according to expert recommendations and that helped. I also replace the fine tipped nib with a medium. But what finally made it work was to throw away the Thorntons Ink Refills and to use a better quality ink. The fountain pen writes flawlessly now. So, the overall deal was a good value, and I got what I paid for, but avoid future headaches and pay for better quality ink.

Just personal preference and all, but this pen and I just don't mesh, and I might sell it on. It feels well made and no one can quibble with the price/value ratio. For such a large pen, it doesn't hold very much ink. The packaging is nice. Service was excellent.

I love my new pen writes great as expected and it's the best value on the internet for this specific pen, this one normally runs for 30 by it's self this one comes with a 5 dollar converter and about 10-15 dollars worth of ink. Great starter pen and absolutely worth the price!!!!
