Taking a look at the Pilot Prera

Looking today at the Pilot Prera, are they value for money? and how well do they write?

They retail at around £49, which comparatively is possibly quite a lot for a steel nib fountain pen.

Packaging wise, it's pretty cool, coming wrapped in a foam case corresponding nicely to the actual colour of the pen. Inside besides the pen, you get a pilot ink cartridge meaning that your new pen will be ready to go straight away, and they also bless you with a convertor if you are feeling a little more adventurous and want to try out some bottled inks.

In size the Pilot Prera may be small and quite light, but there is still a sense of high build quality and durability about it.

When writing, for a medium nib, it is on the fine side, which you would expect with this being a Japanese pen. The steel nib is quite smooth and lays down a crisp line. The flow even when just dipped is not too dry to skip or be scratchy but not too we.


 
It comes in the following colours - Yellow, White, Pink, Lime Green, Light Blue, Ivory, Grey, Brown & Dark Blue.


Overall this is an extremely well put together pen, for the price tag which it turns out is entirely justified, £49 for a metal pen that comes with a convertor? Can't say fairer than that.
