Beautiful Pen March 20, 2012
Reviewer: Alea from Minnesota, United States  
This is a gorgeous pen, but I knocked a star off because there is one area that will write nothing but scratches.  I'll have to adjust it myself.

Needs Smoothing December 20, 2011
Reviewer: Deb from Alaska  
I bought this glass dip pen for sampling new inks.
It needed smoothing and I was never able to get it right myself. I think I made it worse...
Other than that, it works great for testing sample inks.

Good for testing inks December 9, 2011
Reviewer: Norman Lee from Berkeley, CA United States  
While the best way to see how an ink would perform in your pen would obviously be to fill the pen with it, it can be a pretty time-consuming process to try more than two or three in a row. This makes it easy to get a reasonable look at how an ink looks on paper, beyond doing q-tip swabs of it. Writing is a bit scratchy if you don't sand down the nib, and it's tricky to get ample, consistent flow (particularly for thin inks), but it's a pretty good way of trying and comparing inks.

love it. November 8, 2011
Reviewer: Gerald Taylor from Toronto, Canada  
I know I'm giving everything I buy from GPC five stars but hey--it really is great stuff and I did my research before I ordered it.  If you don't already have a glass dip pen, you probably need one.

small glass pen October 26, 2011
Reviewer: Rita McGregor from Fargo, ND United States  
I had purchased a set of glass pens maybe 20-25 years ago and they never worked at all, so I am thrilled that Brian checks each pen.  This one works!  You have to roll the tip a bit, as you do with glass pens, but I finally have a glass pen that works.  
Great for trying out sample inks!!  I wouldn't hesitate to buy another glass pen from GouletPens.
