ParkerSonnet Fountain Pen, Stainless Steel with Gold Trim, Medium Nib (1931505)

This is a very smooth writer and feels just right in the hand. Great quality and is a beautiful pen.

I LOVE this pen! after not having much luck with other brands I tried this one due to the reviews and wow a winner at an affordable price for me. I bought for my birthday and I am loving writing with this! Especially because the ink flows nicely and does not skip like others in this price range and even a little higher I had some issues. I am thankful for all the reviews that led me to this one! It looks so beautiful and elegant! I loved it so much I bought a Parker broad Nib also!

Exceptional quality, writes like a hot knife through butter.

Although the pen is attractive and measures up to Parker quality there appears to be a major design flaw with the replaceable ink replacement cartridges. If not used consistently, the ink in the cartridge tends to gel and evaporate far too quickly.

Quality good

I purchased this pen on 03/28/2024 and have had a mixed experience with it. When a new cartridge is installed or when the nib is dipped into ink, it writes well. It is very nice and comfortable to hold. Unfortunately, once you're done writing that first time and you close the pen, the ink dries up and no amount of shaking or scribbling on scratch paper gets it to start again. As I write this, I have a brand new cartridge in it but the ink won't flow through the nib. The pen looks great and shows well but has been a pain to write with. Unless you are okay, with keeping a pot of ink handy to dip the nib into every time you want to write, I would not recommend this pen. I've got a Wordsworth & Black that I paid half as much for, and a Shaeffer that cost about the same, and they both look just as great and work beautifully.

I was looking for a smooth writhing fountain pen, and have been disappointed in the six very expensive pens bought elsewhere within the last year. I got the medium point, and this pen is so smooth and balanced, that it is a pleasure to write again. In fact, I just purchased another in a different color today. I highly recommend this Parker model. UPDATE: I purchased another of the same model, and am equally impressed with its beautiful, smooth performance.

This is a good pen, not a great one, a good one. It's solidly built and it's a Parker. I had Parker pens when...well it doesn't matter but it was a long time ago so I have an affinity for them. Everything about this pen is good, but it doesn't measure up to greatness as a writer which is all I want out of a fountain pen in the end. It needs help with first strokes of a sentence and that bugs me. You have to coax it to write sometimes and that bugs me as well. However, when it does write it writes well. Again, it's nicely built, comes in a great magnetic flip top box with a converter and a couple of cartridges, maybe more, I've forgotten. I would say it's a tiny bit this side of being worth the money, i.e. if I had to pay any more for it, I wouldn't buy it.
