Hero 9025 Short Review

May 31, 2015

Hello there,

It's been a long time since I've made a review, but yesterday I picked up a new pen. The packaging was inconspicuous, it was at the local supermarket, on the bottom most shelf. It looked like a cheap (well... it was cheap ) no-name, brown fountain pen in a little plastic bag. When I took a closer look at it, I saw four numbers printed on the side, and when I bought it and took it home, the converter that came with it (a piston, Parker like converter, but with a standard tip) had Hero embossed on the back. I washed it, inked it up with Parker Quink black, and tried it out. It's a joy to write with, although it was a tad scratchy on the up stroke and needed a little smoothing. It writes like an F, and ink flow is very good, not too wet so the F becomes more of an M but enough to make it glide. Sorry for not having any writing samples, my handwriting isn't a thing of beauty anyway.

Great review. I know nothing of Hero other than a bad experience that prevents me from buying another. Maybe I'll gie the 9025 a try.

Chinese FPs are usually understated. The reddish brown colour FP is looking really nice !

If anyone likes Fine nib (like Western EF), one FP that I can recommend is Hero 573. The nib is also smooth.

Don't know if it's just my display but that looks like a really nice colour to me, more deep red than brown to me. Nice black in the section too.

Thanks for reviewing!

It's a fake wood effect, and yes... It's more of a reddish brown. I also bought the same pen in black the other day. That one has a more classic look.
