Customers praised this fountain pen for its smooth writing, describing it as "a pleasure to write with" and "smooth as silk." Many loved the deep blue color with gold trim and perfect weight/balance. While most found the nib glides effortlessly, some noted scratchiness or that medium nibs write finer than expected. One customer questioned quality.

My second Ellington in under a month

There was a blurb at the end of one of the Facebook reels I recently saw where Ethan says something to the effect that instead of returning your pen within the 30-day money-back guarantee window, people wind up purchasing another Ellington within that same time frame. Well, you can officially put me in that category. I loved the first one so much that when I saw this one on sale on Amazon, I grabbed it without a second thought. This one has an F nib, and I will say that I was completely gobsmacked at the difference between the M nib on my other pen and the F nib on this pen in terms of how they feel on the paper, how the ink flows through them, and what the final product looks like on the page. Perfect world, I'd ink both pens with the same ink and run a side-by-side to really see the difference, but I think having the two different color inks in the pens is really useful to my eye. There's a delicate feel when this pen touches the paper that I can only say is different from the way the M nib feels. It's hard to explain, but even though the two pens feel the same in the hand, both have the same gorgeous kind of finish, and the I will just say that the pictures online do NOT do The Nautilus justice wherever said pics are posted. The pen has an absolutely electric appearance to it, and the gold-colored metallic tones really balance the look much nicer than a silver/chrome finish ever would. There's a level of visual elegance to this pen that is rare and, I would dare say, unique within my collection of pens. Bottom line, this is another phenomenal addition to my collection and I will definitely be using this pen a lot moving forward. Great job, Ellington!

Blue NAUTILUS

I really like the color blue with a gold trim. It’s weighted and balanced nice smooth flowing in. I bought two more elegant pads with two bottles of blue ink would definitely buy again thank you and keep up the good work thank you Tom Hydock

We’re also grateful for your continued support with the journals and ink — that really means a lot to our team. Your kind words and encouragement genuinely inspire us to keep doing what we do.

Thank you again, Tom, and happy writing!

I'm just starting to get back into fountain pens

First off, I'm crazy over the color blue, everything I have is blue and I only wear blue cloths. That is why I chose this one. I knew already from the other writing I've done I like a medium tip so I went with that size nib. When I got it, it seemed still very fine tip, too much for me. I love the pen, the quality is amazing, very sturdy, good weight. I also bought a few cheapy pens off temu just to play around with them and one of them had a bent nib, I was curious about that and I loved it. That is a perfect size for me, and my hand writing even looks a lot better with that type. So I went in today and found they have replacement nibs for this and they had a bent one, so I ordered it. I wish I knew that when I bought it, but you don't know what you don't know. Anyway, if someone wants a med nib, I now have an extra lol.

Smooth

My pen feels so comfortable when writing. The nib glides smoothly over the paper. My Grandson is using his to practice writing in Japanese. Even his left hand doesn’t smear the ink. We love our pens!

Fantastic

The pen I received is as describe, and even better as soon as i start to used it. I had a collection of pens and used fountain pens at leas for 45 years.This Nautilus Fountain pen is the third place of my collection after a Mont Blanc and a Japanese Pilot Piston fountain pen, but can easy move to second, the more I used the more I like it. This pen is above a Schafer, Parker, Zenith and others.
The Nautilus writes smooth and the weight is just perfect. Good quality.
Thank you,

SERGE

I was very disapointed with the poor quality of these fountain pens. I have order the pocket size and full size fountain pen. These pens are good for beginners but they are very poor quality! I will be very shame to write with these pens in front of my friends, family and my colleagues! As i say, it is good probaly for beginners or childrens. However, the package was well presented.

Smooth ink flow

I have always had trouble with ink flow on y other fountain pens. Not this one! Ink flowed the instant I uncapped it and continues on. Nice feel in my hand also. Just be aware that tariffs are being charged on this pens from Great Britain!

Nautilus

This is my second Ellington. I have currently inked it with Diamine Aurora Borealis using the included converter. It writes beautifully and is a very nice looking pen with the deep blue, highlighted in brass. These are well made, attractive pens and write very nicely. A perfect balance.

Medium nib writes more like fine

Perhaps I need to break it in further, but my review title says it all. Perhaps time will tell. I do like the feel of the pen in my hand, though.
