BENU PEN FOUNTAIN PEN REVIEW


Dear Dreamers
Pens have become a part of our everyday lives, and there are pens that can make life a lot less mundane. Whether it’s a swanky new pen that’s a lot like a toy or a beautiful pen you can look at endlessly, in a way, they can help us pass the time when we really need but at the same time do their job.






BENU PENS
I have recently received two pens from Benu and it was the day we went to the Lubao Bamboo Nature Park in Lubao, Pampanga. It was a bright day and the pens fitted right in the scenery.

WEIGHT
I assumed that fountain pens were slightly heavy but I was really surprised at how light it was. The beautiful pens are made of resin which is why it is really light. Some people prefer their fountain pens to be heavier but I like how light it is.

APPEARANCE
Fountain pens in itself exude elegance but coupled with intricate designs such as the ones above, it is a work of art. Even my baby stares at the pens with awe. I don’t blame her, the gold pen is speckled with gold flakes and gold glitters. Truly, a beauty.


BLUE INK
Flowing with blue ink, the Benu pen writes beautifully. It’s my first time using a fountain pen so I was unaware that I had to unscrew the barrel and attach the ink inside to the tip. It took me a few minutes to get used to writing and drawing with a fountain pen.

Contrary to fountain pens in the past, the fountain pens today do not leak. Now, fountain pens are readily available and come in various designs to fit different tastes.

DESIGNS
Intricate designs such as these take my fancy but I love that there are simple designs. There are even candy designs, perfect for those who adore pastel shades.

CLIP
Some fountain pens have clips and others have none. I prefer my fountain pens without clips so that I can easily have it on pictures and flatlays.


NIB
All Benu fountain pens have JoWo or Bock stainless steel nibs supplied by SCHMIDT Technology GmbH.



BALLPOINT PENS
Ballpoint pens or ballpens are also part of their arsenal of pens. These ballpoint pens come in beautiful designs as well, some have the designs as the fountain pens’.






PRICES
The prices range from $60+ to $200+.

OVERALL
Benu Pens are a bit on the pricey side but there are those that are lower priced, depending on the design. Considering that these pens are handmade and are made from nontoxic resin, the prices are actually reasonable.
