Jinhao 140 Fountain Pen


GhostAsset

Recommended Posts

Hello!

 

Does anyone know anything about the Jinhao 140 from the Birmham Pen Co? Its not a model that Im familiar with. Past experience tells me that the nib on any given Jinhao is a wet writing medium nib, which I usually swap out for a fine Goulet or Nimonsine nib. Does anyone know if the pen requires a #5 or #6 size nib? (I know Jinhao isnt everyones pen of choice, but I have pen thieves in my office!)

 

Any suggestions or comments as to the nib size and overall quality are appreciated.

 

Thanks!

I am glad that you said that Jinhao is not everyones choice but what you should have said is that they are nearly everyones choice,and if you have pen thieves in the office they know a GOOD Pen when they see it.Jinhao Lover

It looks to me like a 5 or smaller I live in the pittsburgh area and bought the set of 3 as much for the boxes as the pen they seem to have jinhao's that no one else has ever heard jinhao 120, can't find anything on either 120 or 140. Didn't receive it yet they seem to be a little slow should only take 2 days will try to post once they arrive

      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
