I cannot say what they are like, unfortunately.

 

I have occasionally wondered what the Hero 2065 is like. I bought a Kaigelu 319 (review: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/208622-kaigelu-319-lapis-review/ ) with a nice gold nib for about the same price, but I must admit I am reluctant to buy one where the nib is so obviously a fine.

 

The Hero 85. Looks like a fairly regular Chinese pen, just wish the plating on these stood up to wear better.

 

The Fuliwen 2060A is highly unlikely to be celluloid. The material looks just like the acrylic used in the white versions of the Kaigelu 319 and 323. It is a really gorgeous material to make a pen from. Just wish I was more confident about the plating on the other parts.

 

Regards,

 

Richard

I'm reviving this hoping someone can chime in regarding the Fuliwen 2060A.

It looks nice, but I'm wondering about its weight, durability, and how it compares to other Chinese pens at this price point with similar features, such as a screw-on cap (Kaigelu 316, Crocodile 308...). If you've tried it, please let us know.

I'm late on this but for the Hero 85 it is a very nice pen. The build quality is high. It is a heavier and larger pen. The nib is wet and smooth after a bit of work. It is my current favourite Chinese pen. Well worth the price in my opinion.

Thanks J_MM, I just might try it at some point. However, the screw-on cap and the finish of the Fuliwen have me wondering... I just ordered one and I'll let you guys know how it fares when I get it... in a month or so (shipping times from China have gotten longer in the last year or so, at least to my location).

      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
