Frontier Matte Black GT Fountain Pen - Fine Nib

Good basic matte black pen. Gold trim is nice and shiny, but doesn't make the pen look gaudy. Converter already installed. No cartridge; you should be using bottled ink anyway. No cleaning required out of box (makes it giftable), inked up the pen and it wrote right away. Cap snaps on with a definite tactile click so you know it's closed. Posts well, grip is plastic or resin and I don't find it slippery. My pen is a fine point and writes as a western fine. Not a wet writer with Parker Quink blue ink. Smooth with very little feedback; nib needed no tuning out of box. Overall a very nice giftable pen, everyday writer, or addition to a pen collection. Will update in a few months on nib dry out time.

I was wary because the other reviews indicated that the nib would be scratchy. In my experience, the pen writes very smoothly for the most part with minimal skipping. The aesthetic is top tier for me as I really like the contrast between the gold trim and the matte black. I write small so I prefer a fine nib and I've had no issues to that end. It's my daily driver at this point and it was well worth the relatively low price.

La pluma es excelente, el estuche nada que ver

Parker does not disappoint. Works so well. Looks just so classy in your hand whilst writing those important documents.

This pen writes nicely and looks great. Now that those facts are out of the way, i have some concerns. First among those is the cap. It rotates loosely around the pen barrel and generally gives off a cheap feeling. Second: the packaging states that this pen is for sale only in India and Nepal. It feels generally cheap, with a converter that is clearly of lower quality that that of a normal Parker converter. There is no marking to indicate where the pen was manufactured, but i can assume that the pen is made in India, not in Europe like the Parker Jotter, which is a superior pen in my opinion. In conclusion: this pen makes for a decent gift, but you are better off buying European or Japanese- made pens in a similar price range.

The package was crumbled and there was dust all over the pen. Ink flow was thick and pages in behind get imprints. I do not recommend.

Email and texting have their place but a hand written note or letter is much more personal. The Parker Frontier Fountain Pen will get that done for you. This pen is a superb value. It performs as well as other pens that cost 4 times as much. It has a great feel in your hand and it flows across the paper bringing out your finest penmanship. The fine nib seems to be more on the medium side but it will adequately bring out your unique hand writing style. My fellow Americans, put down your phone ! Step away from your computers ! Ditch Microsoft Word and Apple Pages ! Come back to pen and paper to express your deepest thoughts to those that matter most to you !

The finish is great. It is not too flashy, but people notice when you use it. The pen is light and writes brilliantly. Also, the cap posts perfectly, something that is increasingly difficult to find in many fountain pens today. The only issue is the cartridge uses a sliding device to draw the ink into the pen, and it is not my favorite feature. It can sometimes stick when trying to adjust the ink. Beware: too much pressure causes the ink to shoot out of the feed. If you're careful, you only make that mistake once:) Overall, I love the pen and the quality of the flow and design.

Well-made and works well. Looks and feels great. Very good value.

Complete review Pens and inks under Considerration - 1. Parker Vector Metallix (F) with Parker Quink Black 2. Parker frontier Matte Gold Trim (F) with Lapis Bard Irish Joe 3. Pilot Metropolitan (F) with Waterman Red 4. Pilot Metropolitan (F) with Parker Quink Blue 5. Lamy Safari (M) with Pelikan 4001 Violet 6. Lamy safari (M) with Lamy T52 Turquoise 7. Lamy 2000 (F) with Lamy T53 Crystal Amazonite Out of all of the above mentioned pens "Pilot Metropolitan" truely justifies the price, consistent writer whether you choose one pen over other both fine nibs have same width. Looks a classical masterpiece i have no problem with weight of pen or grip (normal 6 feet tall man),.. Only bad part is convertor is old style, you need to buy CON 40 converter for another 600 INR LAMY SAFARI seems overvalued, should be around 2000 INR, both pens feel different but very very smooth can be used whole day for writing compared to pilot metropolitan, though both nibs are MEDIUM but feel slightly different. (not the case with pilot) Parker vector Metallix I would say go ONLY if you have not much of money or just want to start with fountain pens, writing with this is good, pen is very short so not so comfortable (FINE) is comparable to pilot , BUT BUT,..... NONE of the OTHER pens dry, but I had weird experience with Parker Metallix that it gets dry ink if not used for a week, LAMY and Pilot on other hand can be used without headache after a month (Although I know it will be futile to do comparison of pen which is hardly 5 times cheaper with set of expensive ones) but I SAY SKIP Parker Frontier is also FINE, writes good but definitely not on the finer side, better to go for this than Vector Lamy 2000 fountain pen is true gem of fountain pens cannot be compared with the others (and should not be 😂) it's expensive with price of INR 25000, but go only if you love writing,. I do write alot so for me its ok. But first make a habbit of admiring the cheap ones. --------- NOW coming to Inks Parker Quink is truely what justifies the price - depth of color is awesome for INR 100, writes good,. Consistent and dries quickly Best ink you can buy is "Pilot Iroshizuku" and Lamy T53 Crystal collection I have both but could not show sample of Iroshizuku,.. Both costs INR 1500 so not on affordable side,. But fantastic inks Pelikan 4001 is one of the affordable and yet beautiful inks (use with medium nib) to feel the color shading effects.... You can go for it!! Waterman Ink goes with its name, it's watery (Not Bad) but takes time to dry out,.. But rich in color little costly but comparable to Pelikan, makes Pelikan better ink. Lapis Bard Irish Joe is good but expensive, ink dries in between Pelikan and Waterman,.. LOOKS ugly till wet but it's looks jaw dropping BEAUTIFUL once dries, lots of highlights and definitely worth the price. Lamy Ink T52, Ah! Again as Lamy pens it's expensive better to skip this and jump directly towards Pilot Iroshizuku ink Lamy crystal ink i use only with Lamy 2000, ink is good but very expensive than Pilot Iroshizuku, thus making Pilot ink a better choice anyday. Now coming to which Nib Size to choose If you write small really small then go for fine nibs, so Pilot Fine is go to pen if money is not a constraint. Medium Nibs on other sides highlights the shades of inks, much smooth and makes fountain pen a true gem of engineering., I would say if not sure GO with MEDIUM, it's definitely make you into fountain pens. It does not matter how expensive or how cheap pen or ink or watch you use., just you should love it,.. Cultivate a habbit of writing its worth of.

Nib is a bit scratchy, but a very nice pen, especially for the price.
