Nice looking pen, the celluloid looks almost great

I can't see in the photo but is the cap screw on or clip on?

I have the Yiren version of this pen (also done by Bookworm), and it took my fingers 2 or 3 days to take the black paint off the filigree. Not impressed.

Andy - It's a clip-on cap, though it's so stiff you'll think it must be a screw fit when you first try open it.

 

Richard - I've even tried rubbing hard on the black paint in the filigree but it hasn't worn away - guess you were unlucky, or I was very lucky.

 

I have also seen this pen with a different clip sold as a Hero. Confirms my suspicion that several 'brands' are made probably in the same factory.

 

This is my first Chinese pen, I held off getting one because I thought they must be rubbish at the price they sell for - the postage must cost more than the pen! But it writes well and feels sturdy, I may try other Chinese pens at this rate.

I seem to have very acidic & salty skin, which probably doesn't help. To get low rust steels to rust fast, I just have to touch them .

So Richard at least you know your Super Power = Rust Man, The Oxidzer or maybe Captain Corrosion?

All too true.

I owned one of these (before I gave it away). It wrote quite nicely. The reason I gave it away was that it was too fancy looking. I like a pen that is more restrained in appearance.

 

I agree, the pen had a nice weight, and the company did a great job making it look fancy.

Hmmm, is it just me or does this pen resemble a MB 139/Hemingway? By which I mean the shape and clip design.

Mine arrived today and I love it already. It's a smooth writer with just a hint of feedback (and that's on the very first fill!). I like the wight of the pen and the ease of it in my rather large hand. What I find puzzling is that, of the fifteen Jinhaos I now own, it's the only one with no Jinhao branding, even the nib says Huashilai. I have a feeling the eBay seller took a guess here...

I have all three versions of this pen. The filligree patterns are different as are their nibs and weights. There is another manufacturer of this pen but the name escapes me at the moment. If you place them side by side you can really see the difference in the filligree.

 

All of mine write very well and I have had no problems with black rub off, even though I now have acidic chemistry due to medication.

 

All three manufacturers make a matching rollerball as well. They all take the same refill, so there's no gripe to be made there.

 

Thanks for making note of this pen style for fellow members having multiple manufacturers. All my friends always want one when I use it in public.
