Shulipen

[Ian the Jock]

Does anyone know anything about a brand called Shulipen?

I bought 3 pens from ebay as they were ludicrously cheap, but I know absolutely nothing about them.

 

They may not even be Chinese, but if anyone knows, you guys will.

I think they may just be Shuli and not Shulipen.

I'm on a mission now to find out about them.

Well

My "Shuli" pens arrived today, and as thought, they are indeed Chinese.

They are surprisingly nice pens.

1 a wine/red, 1 blue and 1 grey/green which doesn't show up well in the pics, and all have fine nibs.

 

 

I have kept away from hooded and/or fine nibs up until now as I wasn't really sure about them.

I like to see the nib, and I prefer a broader line, however, I'm impressed with these, they seem well made and all write very nicely indeed, nice and smooth, which again was quite unexpected as with having fine nibs I expected them to be a bit scratchy, especially at the price.

I'm still none the wiser as to who made them, but there are some characters and the number 1028 on the cap and hopefully someone will be able to shed some light on these.

I had intended giving 1 or 2 away, but having inked them up and had a go with them, I'm going to keep them.

They were unbelievable value for money, and they have taught me not to automatically exclude hooded nibs on pens, so a good purchase all round.

Price? They do seem nice but I am not a fan shiny metal hooded nibs, and the color is just weird to me. However if they write well, that's good.

 

 

I am a fan of chinese 'classic' hooded nibs though such as hero 100

They were 3 for £3, so approx $1.5 each.

I don't normally consider hooded nibs, but for the money I thought these were worth a "punt", and they turned out to be a bargain.
