I bought the Scholar, Duofold-orange.
The pen thouroughly lived up to my expectations upon receiving it.
Very nice finish, on par with expensive brands.
The packaging was nice and adress label was filled out without one single mistake, that is becoming rare these days.

TLDR: smooth writer, well constructed, a little small for a Duofold style, but excellent at this price.

I have been writing with this for a day or so with X-Feather, and so far I'm really impressed. The steel nib is as smooth as a Jowo, the ink flow is very good, and the material feels lightweight but substantial. The color is a bright but not obnoxious orange. The black section and finials have a high polish. Best of all, the cap posts deeply and securely, unlike pretty much every other Duofold-style pen. (Usually you can post or you can use a Duofold-style pen, but not both). I haven't tinkered too much with it yet, but it does appear that a standard #6 nib swap may be possible.

The only two drawbacks are trivial: first, I really wanted a black one, but not enough to wait for Osprey to restock them, apparently. Second, it seems a little smaller than the other Duofold-style pens I have and narrower at the section. It's not small by any stretch, but I tend to prefer girthier pens.

So my own impatience and size preferences aside, this is a great pen and really outstanding at this price point.

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.

The Duofold Orange Osprey Scholar has a classic orange and black look with a full size body and large #6 nib. It's rare to get a high quality full size pen & nib at this price, and the body is actually turned from a solid piece of acrylic! (Most pens are injection molded and have a seam down the side.)

The weight of the pen is just right, and the length adds a balance such that you could write for hours without fatigue. Thumbs up!

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.
