The two pens I have currently inked are from China and Pakistan respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The former is a Kaco Edge made in Shanghai. It is a smooth writer, feels good in the hand, and remind me of a Lamy 2000. The only downside is that the clip is so tight that it is hard to fit in your shirt pocket. It is available on <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/34mjTqw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon for $17.50<\/a> and does come with a converter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/kaco-edge.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/kaco-edge.jpg 640w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/kaco-edge-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/kaco-edge-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The latter is a Dollar i717 demonstrator (clear) pen made in Pakistan. I picked up a dozen of them for about $15 on EBay. It is a piston filler that starts right away. Fountain pens often are hard to get the ink flowing if they&#8217;ve sat for a day or two. I have given away a number of these pens to fellow fountain pen geeks.
