What Chinese Pens Are You Using Today?

[RomellESC]

So far the only Chinese pen i have is the Jinhao x450 which costs only 2.50 dollars and it's surprising that it has great quality for a 2 and a half dollar fountain pen.

The X450 is astonishingly good for the price, and pretty good on an absolute scale regardless of price.

 

Today's pen is my blue Baoer 517. Must write a review some time. It's surprisingly pleasant for a cigar shaped pen.

Today's Chinese pen is a...

 

Hang on. I thought I'd picked up the Kaigelu 316 Charcoal. But it's actually the Onoto Webster's 40th Anniversary Edition LE. Erm.

Idk if using a Jinhao 159 to torture test inks before using them on my expensive pens counts as "using". But so far Akkerman #10 IG holds up remarkably even after being unused for over a month!

[Bluey]

Picasso 917. Writes beautifully, but such a strange looking and unique nib! Inked in with Diamine 'dark' brown.
