Hongdian has made a name for themselves as an excellent budget-friendly fountain pen maker, and their Black Forest pen has probably done more for awareness of their brand than any other pen. So what have they done? Made a Black Forest MAX! And it's not just bigger. This is a pretty legit pen all its own.

You can find it on Amazon here: amzn.to/3SBfEB9
