Pilot Kakuno is the best beginner's fountain pen. Its features are designed to teach people, including children, how to write with a fountain pen. It's also very affordable, so for those who are trying fountain pens for the first time and don't want to spend a lot, the Kakuno is the way to go.
Kakuno has a triangle grip to help beginners place their fingers in the proper positions, and rounded edges for comfort. A friendly smiley face is imprinted on the nib to remind you which side to face up when writing.
The cap has subtle indentations at the top for an easier grip when pulling it off. And the hexagonal barrel keeps the pen from rolling.
Cap and barrel are made of recycled materials, and are lightweight so you can write for a long time without cramping. Each pen comes with one black ink cartridge, and instructions for simple installation. Additional ink cartridges are sold separately.
