Jinhao X450

Recommended Posts

I am impressed with the Jinhao X450. I am using Pelikan red and black ink. I own both Pelikan and Montblanc pens and find the Jinhao a great writer. I recently purchased M800 with a BB nib and am not happy, too broad). If you are looking for a cheap pen that works try a jinhao.

 

I also tried Noodlers inks and it was too thick. I prefer a thin line when write (engineer).

The x450 is my favorite pen to give fp newbies when they express enthusiasm. I generally have to recut the feed slits with a scalpel, after which they flow much better. I think I've bought and given away a dozen, most of which are in use.

An old thread, but I just received my Jinhao x450 and I really like the feel. I thought it was going to feel heavier, but it is quite manageable. It does not post, however. But it is just long enough unposted for my larger hands. The nib on this advertised "bold" version is a fat medium but not a Western bold.

The explanation for the Japanese comment is this:

 

This thread had - possibly when the Japanese Regional Forum was created - been accidentally moved there. It was moved here yesterday when someone notified us of the error.

 

There are probably a lot of old threads in the wrong place, and generally if there is no new activity, we're content to leave the thread alone.

 

Regards,

 

Richard.

Besides, it's a good pen wherever it's from.

Is this the one sold by xfountain pens? Because I have, like, five. Gave two away *sob* and the Medium writes a bold, juicy line. The one I've named Rogue is filled with the last of my Noodler's BSIER.

My latest ebook.   And not just for Halloween!
 

My other pen is a Montblanc.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
