A beautiful and soothing pen

"This is an absolutely beautiful fountain pen! I've loved the True Writers for a long time, as my parents (English teachers) used them since I was little. I had to have this one, reminiscent of the original Sea Glass fountain pen run that I always admired back then. As others have said, the transparent sections of the pen body are wonderful to see--the colored parts look like they're floating in water, which I love."

Elegant Seaglass Writer

"Absolutely stunning pen. The sea glass finish has this subtle shimmer that looks even better in person, and no two patterns are exactly alike. It feels perfectly balanced in hand, with just enough weight to make writing smooth and controlled without fatigue. The nib writes consistently right out of the box with a clean, even flow. It also comes nicely packaged, so it works just as well as a gift as it does for everyday use. If you want a fountain pen that stands out without being flashy, this one hits the sweet spot."

JJ (5/5)

Less than expected

"I have a true writer from many years ago which I've always felt was high quality. So I was surprised by the fact that the barrel of this pen is plastic. I probably should not have been surprised, given the low price. Other than that, it is performing well thus far. It will be interesting to see if it holds up over time."

Bluetiful

Love this pen

"I adore this sea glass fountain pen. It far exceeded my expectations! It is GORGEOUS! It writes beautifully. So smooth with just the right amount of feedback. No hard starts. No skips. Simple perfection. And should we even talk about the amazing price? Dare I say it writes as smoothly or even better than an Estie?! Yes. Yes I shall. Levenger. . . . well done."

Handful of Color

"This is an amazing pen. Almost every pen maker has a version of this acrylic but Levenger did something unique and it is why I had to have the pen. For starts, it's a Tru Writer. For me, this is the perfect size and shape, the section is great in the hand and all the nib choices work well. They tend to be a bit dry but that is a matter of tuning and any pen user worth their salt can fix that. What sells the pen for a collector, like myself, is the "something different" and this pen has it. Unlike other makers, Levenger did not feel the need to fill every available nook and cranny of the pen blanks withcolor chips. In this way, the clear resin binding the material together would leave clear voids in the finished pen blanks. This gives you a pen body that has all of these amazing colors seeming to float in the the random, clear voids. The effect is amazing. I had to have it. Much better than the photos. It's worth checking out. I'm glad I did."

"It’s pretty. It’s not a super comfortable pen to use so it’s not in my main rotation, but ot works well."
