For school beginners the typical learning pens with knobbly ergo grip are still recommended, since children's hands deliberately should not handle slim writing instruments; a Mozart or a 1950s flex pen is therefore unsuitable, since steel nibs are more stable and everyday-suitable. Vintage writing instruments also bring ink-flow risks in everyday use. Concrete recommendations for cartridge pens with ergonomic grip and F nib are limited in the range around 50 euros; preferable is a test in a larger stationery specialist shop (e.g. Schreibmayr in Munich). The Rotring Initial is also named as a good but in trade hardly available variant; in the Penexchange forum a separate section on school pens with further experience reports exists.
