I am stoked to have found Osprey. I bought the Scholar (black) with a couple nib assemblies. The design is simple and classic, and the subtlety of the brand engravings are perfect. Personally I can't stand bulky or heavy pens, and this one is really strikingly light.

More importantly though, their flexpert-zebra assembly is THE pen that I'd been looking for. I've tried several methods/pens that are adapted to feed untipped nibs on a fountain pen, but theirs is the only one where I haven't had to monkey with it constantly and replace bits just to keep them in a mostly-working state. Given that, this piece works immeasurably better than I was anticipating. It has consistently worked perfectly through its first few refills so far. No effort, just a perfectly fed nib without dipping or dripping.

I also bought one of their dip pens, which is indeed beautiful, but which I now feel like I may never have to use again. (If there were a flexpert for Hunt Imperial or Gillott, for example, that would probably be true.)

Recommended highly for the untipped fans.

There is nothing about this pen that I don’t love. The weight is light and not burdensome on the hand. The nibs are all smooth and perform every single time. I never have any issues out of this pen. Whether I have just inked it or if it has sat unused for a week it performs perfectly every time.

I have a few extra nibs for my scholar with the special nib collar to fit. My favorite is the Esterbrook nibs for this pen. Ultra fine writing with perfect ink flow and no hard starts or skipping. It’s beautiful and performs perfectly every time. I reach for my scholar more than pens by larger brands 9 out of 10 times. Comfort and performance makes this a daily carry for me.

Few pen companies can match Osprey's value proposition, and fewer still can say that their very act of selling affordable, quality writing instruments has a direct positive impact on childhood education. The aptly named Scholar is a great fountain pen with a fantastic nib. It is a reliable workhorse that gives me tremendous satisfaction to use. And if you have a problem with this or any of their pens, Osprey's customer service is second to none.

They give you 2 sections!! One is made from acrylic and the other cab. Throw out or use the acrylic one, this modular fountain pens is my most flexible and useful purchase for the money. I have so multiple flexperts so I can swap. Osprey Pens are made for real writers who love to switch up the pens. My favorite pen and I did not need to waste 3bills to get it!!

The pen holds nicely in the hand, not too small unlike another company that offers dip G nibs onto a fountain pen converter and feed. However, the nib section doesn't screw on to the body well. It does one of those that will reach maximum tightness but if you continue to turn it'll keep going and loses its tightness again. Also the material used to make the section smells terribly, much similar to a Noodler's Ahab smell.
