My New Hero

I ordered this an age ago. I can't even remember the model which is ridiculous I know. But straight out of the box it is fantastic. Really good quality and a really good ink piston. I love and am now a Hero fan. post-120079-0-63438400-1427959501_thumb.jpg

Yes that's the one...cost me $23 with the box. It is really quite big, heavy and lovely to hold. It writes very well. I really like it. Mind you it took a while to arrive but worth it. I am now looking for similar pens.

Flashy looking pen Ian. Where did you get it ?

Hello Mario, I got from Ebay mate. I read a lot about Chinese pens and thought at $23 I would give it ago. I am very impressed with the quality control and really, it writes better than a lot of my significantly more expensive pens.

You briefly sparked my interest when you said "piston" and had me thinking this was a piston filler. I kind of lost interest when I saw it was yet another run-of-the-mill converter pen. Still a nice bit of bling, though.

      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
