Do you have bad experience about ?

 

 

OK, let's start:

  • bad start
  • skipping
  • scratchy
  • tines alignment
  • felt apart after 1-2 months
  • paint off as well

Of course, not all the pens have all this problems, but at least one...

It is not correct to generalize all Chinese pens as bad. It varies from company to company and even between brands of various companies.

 

I have come across many Chinese pen brands which perform consistently well, if not good. Jinhao, Baoer, Luoshi to name the top 3 in my list.

 

Hero pens have been the biggest let down as they have been the "premium" pens when i was growing up. Apart from the Hero 616 i have been using since quite sometime, all others just fell apart in my hands even though they are used just as desk pens.

The only Chinese pen I am very familiar with is Picasso. I have owned several and the quality has been outstanding, especially considering the under twenty-three price tag I paid for most. Some of the smoothest nibs I have ever used.

I think the pens that HITY mentioned are those of old brand such as Hero, Wingsung and Golden Star.

Right ,I feel that maybe some of pens with bad quality and cheap appear on the market . The brand Golden Star I haven‘t own !It is bad ?On the whole , Hero have a good reputation on our native market !

      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
