Sheaffer VFM Matte Black Ballpoint Pen with Sleek Chrome Trim

SK: The pen broke into two pieces in a fall.. I don’t think the build quality of this pen is good enough compared to other Sheaffer pens

MSM: The pen looks good, but all that glitters is not gold. This pen is a perfect example for this aphorism. The ink flow is terrible. I own Lamys, Pilot and other similar priced pens but never had such problems. It was disappointing to see how the pen would not write well with the free cartridge that it got shipped with.

Other cons: Pen's cap does not stay on when put on the pen while writing.

RETURNING and pls STAY AWAY from his IMHO.

Invest your 20 bucks in another pen.

Sandra K.: Writes smoothly, nice matte black finish. I usually write with an extra fine nib but the fine nib on this Sheaffer is quite pleasant. Better than I expected.

M.N. Baaijens: Ik had deze pen besteld om een kalligrafiepen met een fijne (platte) punt te hebben. Dwz ideaal voor cursief of vloeiend schrijven. Deze pen bleek een gewone vulpen met ronde punt te zijn. Verder zoekend op het internet lijkt het eigenlijk dat dit ook geen pen van het type Viewpoint is. Ik heb de pen teruggestuurd.

Mr. Fit: The pen is well designed and well constructed. But, I didn't know there was already a free cartridge inserted and in attempting to get the ink flowing to nib, it did "overflow." I was surprised that it was so difficult to get off my hands! Most is now gone but a warning would have been helpful.

Prateesh: Its a very nice, well balanced and good looking pen. The flow is smooth and matt finish gives it a classy feel. A must buy in this budget.

rickie: Nach langer Lieferzeit ist diese Woche der Kuli gekommen. Liegt gut in der Hand. War mit schwarzer Mine ausgestattet, ich brauche aber blau und habe die NEO Mine eingesetzt. DSchreibt sehr flüssig und ohne merklichen Widerstand.

Stenio Ferreira: This is my first fountain pen, I like it. I am still learning so sometimes if not careful can get a stained finger, but not a huge deal.
It came with a cartridge that lasted me about a month, but I did write a lot for my studies, maybe 50-100 pages. Cartridges are cheap, writing with this pen is fun, I would recommend.

Booklover: I am an amateur fountain pen enthusiast. I have a few pen, ranging in price from a few dollars to about $200. About ten years ago i purchased a Sheaffer, but it had a medium nib and I have since discovered that I prefer fine. I thought I would give this pen a try since I like the other Sheaffer and it is Lee's than $20.

This pen exceeded my expectations. This pen writes better than some of my more expensive ones! The ink flows incredibly. This pen is also about the thickness of a ballpoint pen so it does not tire my hand as some larger and heavier pens do. And to top it off, the blue color of the pen is nice and bright; brighter than in the picture. I like it so much I'm considering buying another as backup.
