Thanks. I pulled the nib and feed and ran a thin brass sheet between the tines. So far looks like that did it. It writes smoothly with good ink flow and no hard starting or skipping.

its friction fit....also i blv it is glued... u have to apply a bit of pressure to pull out.... Dont worry.... pull it out...

 

It does not seem glued - but the sleeves are very tight.

 

 

there is ballpen and roller 886

 

The BPs look awesome. The refill looks similar to Parker BP refills. That would make great BPs

I put my savings to test

Lamy & Pilot FPs the Best

No more I even think of the rest

(Preference Fine and Extra Fine Nibs)

Pen is meant for writing - not for looking :-)

Mine had glue signs at two sides... in both models... which offered little resistance when i pulled those out...

You get the brilliant Platinum Plasair which looks very similar, for around $10. Far more durable and the 0.3 is a great writer.

I don't use BP's at all, however my wife & eldest daughter do.

Genuine Parker re-fills are the only ones that have exploded inside their pens...

My red 886 dries out very quickly...overnight. Dipping in water does restore it to writing, but that's a pain. Has anyone else had this problem. Could it be the Shaffer red ink?

 

All ideas welcome.

I really like Jinhao, and I really can't explain why. I have some very expensive pens from some very well reputed makers, as I'm sure most people do, but I feel most comfortable (secure?) carrying the Jinhao. Most of the time I like to carry a pen in my shirt pocket, and I have some pens I am afraid of doing so. Jinhao's low cost and high durability ease me of the worry. And I find them, for the most part, to be fine writers.

 

Can anyone give the dimensions (length, width, weight) of this pen, or at least what it compares to in size?

Nope, no Indian ink, but I'll try another ink and see how it does.

My green 886 has the same issue, and I've tried it with a couple of inks--one from Montegrappa and one from Diamine. I suspect it's just a badly fitting cap or something.

I suspect that the leak maybe at the clip mount. The threads seem quite tight. I may try to put a drop of glue on it inside the cap, or I may just toss it.

Yeah, the threads do seem tight, but when the cap is screwed all the way on, it always seems like it's at a bit of an angle.

 

Anyway, please report back on whether the glue thing works--these are fun pens to write with, and I'd love to not have to worry about them drying out.

      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
