If You Could Only Have 3 Chinese Pens....

Haha, sorry. You replied while I was editing my unfinished post.

My "auld" fingers pressed the post button by mistake.

Fancy, I like the way that one looks.

[Manalto]

1. The Jinhao 500 - the best-balanced Chinese pen I've encountered

2. Baoer 388 - in stainless, a sturdy, handsome, great carry pen

3. Hero 616 - low risk time travel, reliable fine point

You'd probably be better just hi-jacking this thread if you've set your mind on a Chinese pen

The Chinese pen fans tend to get involved more on this regional forum, than on the main forum for a number of reasons.

I didn't think I was looking specifically for a Chinese pen, but after seeing all of the recommended pens on the thread I started I might have been mistaken without knowing it.

 

I like the Chinese pens better than most of the others, so far at least.

You're not making my decision any easier here...

Check out the reddish-brown (some listings call it "coffee") and black swirl version. You can even get away with posting it, although I wouldn't use it that way for extended periods. I like everything about this pen, except the overly-stiff clip, but even that shortcoming means I'm less likely to lose it!

Yip, agreed.

I got the coffee one about 2/3 weeks ago, and I've used it at some point every day since.

Another excellent pen.

Moo goo gai

 

Seriously? No one inquiring about the Moo Goo Gai Pen?

[Manalto]

I got a chuckle out of it.

[Ian the Jock]

I didn't want to for fear of looking silly, but all I could find was moo goo gai pan, which I'd never heard of and is a chicken and mushroom stir fry.

I suppose if it was combined with pasta it could be a moo goo gai penne.

 

I'll get my coat....hahaha

[Manalto]

Ian, it's traditionally served with pencakes. I'll give you a ride home.

It's not a bad writer, but a half hour later, you have to ink it again.

All good fun though.
