UPDATE: member 'heath' did an excellent review on the HEMA pen; it's right here: http://penpaperinkletter.com/hema-vu...in-pen-review/
The other day I bumped into these rather enthousiastic reviews of the Dutch HEMA fountain pens:
- Well Appointed Desk: http://wellappointeddesk.com/2013/02/11/hema-vulpen-fountain-pen-review/
- Stephen Browns Youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9MlD5SAAbo
As these pens are only available in the HEMA stores in the Netherlands and Belgium and are not sold online,
I decided to make them available to you through the FPGeeks channels ...
From the Well Appointed Desk review:
"... In writing tests, the pen performed admirably.."
"...It writes very smoothly, silky even. I just love how it feels in my hand..."
"....The amazing thing about this pen is the cost a mere 3.25 (under $6). It kind of blows my
mind that this pen performs in the same league with pens five times more expensive..."
"... Unless you know someone traveling in Europe you could bribe to pick one up for you, this may be your holy grail of cheap fountain pens..."
The pens come in the colours Black, Chrome and Brushed Aluminium; features:
* Fine-Medium Iridium Point Germany nib
* Takes standard international cartridges or converter
* All metal barrel and cap
Prior to shipping I will check the nib & feed and align the tines and smoothen the nib if needed.
The pen is 2.99 EUR in the store at the moment. Including shipping, Bay/Pal fees and just a wee compensation
for my effort, I can send you the pen for 7.40 EUR --> about 10 USD.
I can combine shipping up to 10 pens, see table below:
amount pen(s) shipping palfee total 1 $ 4,05 $ 5,30 $ 0,66 $ 10,01 2 $ 8,10 $ 5,30 $ 0,82 $ 14,22 3 $ 12,15 $ 6,80 $ 1,04 $ 19,99 4 $ 16,20 $ 6,80 $ 1,20 $ 24,20 5 $ 20,25 $ 9,80 $ 1,47 $ 31,52 6 $ 24,30 $ 9,80 $ 1,63 $ 35,73 7 $ 28,35 $ 9,80 $ 1,79 $ 39,94 8 $ 32,40 $ 9,80 $ 1,95 $ 44,15 9 $ 36,45 $ 9,80 $ 2,10 $ 48,35 10 $ 40,50 $ 9,80 $ 2,26 $ 52,56
