I just finished testing my newest addition: one of two Wing Sung 3008s. I've been into fountain pens for over two years, yet I've never used a piston filler until now.

 

I'm pleasantly surprised by the 3008. I have heard good things about the pen as a whole, as well as some not good things about the nib. I ordered a fine and an extra fine, but I received two fines. The nib that I used lays down a line as thick as my Kaweco Sport's medium nib. It isn't scratchy, though there is a bit of feedback, not unlike a Platinum nib.

 

For what it's worth, I ordered the two pens on the same day from the same seller. One has a locking piston knob; the one that I used does not.

Hello!

 

This is my first post on the fountain pen network and I'm excited to be part of a community that loves fountain pens and writing.

 

As for a Chinese pen that I'm currently using, I have had the pleasure of being gifted a Hero H718 from my family for Christmas. This pen is essentially an hommage (or a downright copy) of the Montblanc Heritage 1912. It is a black pen with silver trim, has a retractable and springy 10k nib and is actually quite a pleasure to use. The nib is advertised as 0.5mm and writes like a bit like a German fine, maybe slightly finer (as compared to the Faber Castell Ambition in Fine). I believe the body is made of metal and the cap is made of resin. It also has a piston filling mechanism that is almost identical to the Montblanc Heritage 1912. However, I've heard that the piston mechanism on the Hero H718 is not as silky smooth as that of its german inspiration

 

Though many may find the retractable nib gimmicky, I do think it adds character to the pen. However, compared to the Montblanc heritage 1912, the pen does not cap as deep. This results in the capped length of the pen being longer than the Montblanc 1912.

 

Overall, I really do enjoy this pen! Has anyone else had any experience with it?

A Jinhao 911 I got yesterday. My first new pen for nearly a year, so I thought I'd splash out & go for a really high end one - the 911. ;)

 

Hmm. I was hoping it'd be as good as the now unavailable J321 ( https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/141747-jinhao-321-review/?p=1405059 ). I don't think it is. But not too bad. Had to fiddle with the nib & it seems to dry out fast. Just wish it was not a Fine, otherwise it'd be quite nice to use regularly.

 

Regards,

 

Richard.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
    • adamselene
      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
