Parker Sonnet Fountain Pen, Matte Black Lacquer with Gold Trim, Medium Nib, Premium Gift Box, Ideal for Gifting

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

Quality good

Exceptional quality, writes like a hot knife through butter.

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!

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.

Pen doesn't feel any better than a $35 Chinese made Beilunar pen. Won't be buying another parker product. Seems like I paid and extra $100 for the brand name. Also the converter holds very little ink compared to cheaper pens. Ink flow isn't great. Have already had ink stop flowing, which has not happened in my cheaper pens. I like my Noodler Ahab pens the best and they are significantly cheaper. Save your money.

Good Parker Sonnet pen that is original made in France. However I like my Sheaffer, Waterman, Lamy pens writing better than this Sonnet

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.
