The pen in rotation is beautiful blue colour Hero 616 – II which is inked with Sailor DoYou.



The thought / quote today comes from the one of the most prominent American Architect, LOUIS I. KAHN. His building displayed the Monumental characteristics.

What a lovely pen....

 

Thank you Sagarb. For the price point, it is a lovely pen. The nib reminds me of the nib on the Jinhao 599. It writes well on 24 lb. weight paper. I will be purchasing a new converter for it. It is a keeper. Jinhao also has another Blue & White pen, however, I prefer the pattern on the one I posted. Here is a snap of the 2nd Blue & White I have. My full review found on forum: Chinese Pens Show & Tell

Don't forget if it does start drying out flush it using a tiny drop of ammonia plus a smaller drop of dishwashing liquid should fix it. Oneill

I agree

I have the white version

I call mine "My King of Chinese pens".

Richard has sang the praises of this pen for many a moon...and with good reason.

I have 60+ Chinese pens and the Kiagelu 316 sits (along with the Jinhao 217) right at the top of the pile.

The quality of the pen is fantastic, in fact, it is just a brilliant pen altogether.

 

Get one.

 

Ian; I have heard of the Glasgow glutton but your just ridiculous Jinhao wont be able to keep up the supply.Have you got a Mother of pearl Jinhao yet? its a must have!!!Oneill

 

or 2, or 3...... :lol:

I am using at work both a Jinhao 599A and a Domain Lion. Around the hospital, I am known as the security officer who uses fountain pens.

That is unusual. I am use to physicians using FPs. My Director of Security would have been 'scared' to use a fountain pen :blush: It was the Chief, Division of Cardiology who purchased my first pen--Waterman Phileas

I mainly use them for writing my daily activities in my personal notebook. Sadly, everything official is done on the cold, boring computer.

Love the imprint on that Duke nib, Helen.

I like the porcelain ones, this guys have always been known by their porcelain craftsmanship and the pens are no exception! Some of them might not be excellent writers; but, they surely are goodd looking pens. Perhaps a little bulky and heavy...but pretty!

I find them attractive as well. Snap of the Jinhao 950 & 8802. The 8802 is almost smooth as butter - so I was very fortunate. The 950 is a nice writer as well, however, the nib is not as smooth as the 8802. Don't understand it, but I appreciate it.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
