Celestial Tide Matte Fountain Pen

Just once, I'd like to find fault with an Ellington fountain pen, but I can't. This is another quality writing pen. In this case, the Celestial Tide Matte looks a lot like The Stealth. The difference is the color is an attempt to appear less black than The Stealth, and to give it the matte finish. The bottom line is, I write with my fountain pens, and this one writes as well as all my other Ellington pens.

We received two pens, one purple the other was the celestial tide (green-blue). Both very nice with the e tra fine nib. The extra fine nibs that - extra fine. I use it for sketching and it seems to work very well. It is very slightly flexible if you apply some pressure, but I won't need that. Also seems very wet, flows along of ink, but it could be the ink ( Platinum Carbon) and paper I was using.

Great pen, delivers what it promises - comfortable grip, smooth ink flow, and of course it is elegant looking! The reason I gave it 9.5 out of 10 is because a bit of the matte paint has come away on the barrel and while this does not affect the performance of the pen, it is an eye-sore.

I found the Celestial Tide Matte Fountain Pen from Ellington Pens from an Instagram ad and decided to take a chance on a company I wasn't familiar with. This pen is easily my new favorite to write with! Excellent quality, perfect weight and balance in my hand, and a Fine nib that writes effortlessly. It is easily worth the price you pay, and at the time I purchased, they included another variety of fountain pen for free making this an excellent value!

Great pen. No worries in having the pen work and respond well as soon as the ink cartridge was installed. It’s a bit on the heavy side, but a solid feel when writing.
