... don't get me wrong, I have some very nicely designed Jinhaos but this X750 in its HumVee armor is too intimidating for me. I also think that for a company that turns out some very classic pen products, the X750 is bumptious!

 

So saying, the first person who would like to carry this weapon is welcome to it. I will send it by military escort to your USA address free of charge.

 

Do let me know!

I don't think it looks bumptious, i think it looks pretty classy!

I am the tarot reading, bookworm, whiskey drinking, witchcraft practicing, old fashioned writing, aunt Beasty in my family and I love it. Tarot readings for sale or trade, especially ink as I've lost all of my pen stuff from a bad burglary last year. And I need penpals! Anyone interested, please PM me!

I've just received an x750 in silver. I think its stunning. It was a wet writer as was my x450 but I have sorted that myself and it writes well now, though with a squeak. Hopefully temporary.

My debt he paid, my death he died, that I might live.

the X750 (red lava) and the 500 (brown marble) are my favourite Jinhaos

both nibs were somewhat scratchy and needed some micromesh work to smooth them out

they both write really well now although remaining very stiff nibs, and I like the wet character

The red lava finish is much less intimidating (I find it very "chinese") despite the x750 being a fairly large pen, with a nice big nib

the slight drawback for both pens IMO is they are a tad heavy, but nothing unbearable

That thing looks sick! I'd love to give it a go.

 

And it will arrive at your parade ground by the end of the week. Please feed it.

Hey Dick. Try the matte black x750. I feel your pain. That think is just too shiny

      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
