I just saw that the Jinhao 159 is available on eBay in a stainless steel finish. Looks attractive.

I just could not resist adding my pens, namely a silver-colored Jinhao x159 next to a x750 pen. They both look and feel fantastic.

Hello OCArt,

 

Thanks a lot for posting this...:rolleyes:... another temptation! I had blissfully written off the 159 b/c of its size and weight, but this may be one I can't refuse.

 

The X-750 in brushed steel, (shown above by Frank), is one of my daily carrys.

Yip, me too.

I've managed to continually avoid the 159 because of its shape, but I can resist no more.

It looks brilliant.

I have one, in Basic Black. It is a large, heavy pen, but because the section is relatively thick (12.5 mm) it feels more comfortable to write with than you would think.

 

I already have the X-750 in Brushed S/S, it is so tempting to add the matching 159...

It looks to me more like it's a pearl paint finish rather than a stainless finish to me.

 

Frank66, is there any way you could check inside the barrel to see if it's gold coloured on your one? If it is, then it's simply another painted finish colour on the standard brass body. It is a nice colour, whether painted or stainless though.

 

Still not sure I like the size of the 159 & I know I don't like the cigar shape (despite reluctantly liking the X450).

 

Regards,

 

Richard

Hi Richard. It looks to me that the metal parts of the barrel are stainless steel colored too. Please find below pictures of both my x159 and x750 silver pens.

If I am honest I don't like this steel finish.I bought the x750 thinking it would be polished bare metal but it is laque. That miggt be asking too much for a £2 pen but I think the coloured ones look better. I like the 159 though. It resembles a Meisterstuck to me. Unposted the weight is no problem and it allows one to write well with no pressure on the nib.

      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
