A Jinhao Black Carbon. Pen is very similar to Duke Carbon fiber and the Jinhao 500 but a bit nicer. Well balanced and a very smooth nib.

WenJue. This is a thin line pen with a cigar shape. Reminds me of a Hero 616 in diameter. I have owned this pen for approximately 7-8 yrs. The coloring of the cap/barrel is like a dark brown & antique gold. The pen is attractive, and works well in situations when signatures are required. Ink mixture of my own for today - a combination of (4) Chesterfield inks.

 

NIBS: The original nib was a bit too scratchy, and ultimately replaced it with a Knox #5 medium nib; two tone; wet; no skipping; has some flex to this nib.

 

CAP: Gold-tone fittings; snug clip; at the top of the clip is a "crown" symbol; snap cap without a plastic insert. Attractive cap finial.

 

BARREL: The bottom of the barrel has an attractive scroll design in gold & black, which reminds me somewhat of the Hero 901 scroll work on the top of the cap. When the pen is capped, the scroll work section is in the middle of the pen. Section is a muted chrome, with some smooth threads.

 

FILLING MECHANISM: A bladder-like converter encased in a plastic housing; removable. Pen company name on the converter.

 

WEIGHT: 28g capped - 18g uncapped

 

LENGTH: Posted 6"

Capped 5 1/2"

A blue twist Jinhao x450.

 

I've been doing some nib adjusting - it was a bit scratchy and skipped.

Now it writes like a charm.

 

Unfortunately I don't get to keep this one (I already have one, though. And four other x450s. They're nice pens *shrugs*) because I promised it to a friend of mine whom I got interested in fountain pens again.

 

She got to pick an ink from my collection, because I needed to ink it up to do some testing, and she chose Standardgraph Burgundy, which was unexpected, but ended up looking surprisingly impressive.

Thank you, Helen.

 

The Bock fine nib (ordered online from Beaufort Ink) really transforms the pen - I will probably pick up the medium and broad nibs in size 6 to have a play with (along with a size 5 for the 601).

 

That blue ink in the 5028 is really lovely.

      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
