Helix Oxford Premium Fountain Pen (Stainless Steel) with Plastic Free Packaging

Absolutely brilliant pen. It's mostly metal so it's a good weight. There's no plastic packaging at all, some advertise no plastic in the item then it's wrapped several times in plastic bags. Not this, absolutely no plastic packaging. The only plastic I can see on the pen is just the bit that's under the nib and obviously the refill, everything else is metal. I use a syringe and refill the cartridge from an ink bottle, which makes it an even more environmentally friendly option. It's also British made so I'm happy that my purchase will help support our British companies. It has a good flow of ink from what I would consider a fine to medium tip and writes smoothly. The ink cartridge that comes with the pen is a small one with blue ink. There's enough room in the pen to contain a spare cartridge. I chose the rose gold pen which is matt and not as rose as some rose gold items are but it's still a lovely pen. It would make a good gift for the eco conscious, especially if you included a bottle of ink and an ink syringe.

A great pen that’s dead cheap. Comes with an ink cartridge but decided to buy a converter so that I can use different inks with it. Have one silver one already and love it. Worth the buy.

A really rather good - much better than basic - fountain pen. If feels sturdily made with a nice metal body, decent weight and balance. The design is a bit utilitarian rather than flash, but not bad at all. It took a little while to bed in but it writes quite nicely.

Lovely pen, purchased for myself, sturdy and writes perfectly.

I am quite surprised how good this pen is for the price. I was mulling over getting a fountain pen but didn't want to spend lots of money and then find that I didnt use the pen much. So I looked for a cheap one to test if I enjoyed using one. This pen looks and feels nice it has a good weight to it. I have had it a couple of weeks now and whenever I go to use it it works perfectly. Very pleased with this pen and I like it so much I can't see myself replacing it with a more expensive one. This one does the job!

Very durable and great quality. Easy to replace the ink cartridges and it is very easy to use with good grip.

The helix fountain pen is perfect for everyday school/office. The nib is smooth, the weight (unposted) and the diameter of the grip section is just right for me. The inner plastic cap came off on the first day. When you post the pen, and rotate the body against the cap, the inner cap is unscrewed and comes off with the end of the body. To screw the inner cap back onto the outer, push the inner cap into the pen front until you feel the click. Apply glues if you want. Then push the outer cap in and rotate the body and cap in the way shown in the picture. The nib tine was very tight, and made some ink skipping. Holding the two shoulders of the nib with your hands and spreading the tine a bit increase the ink flow. This pen is metal bodied, well balanced and great value for money, it has become my go-to pen.

Great kit!
