Do You Know Any Chinese Fountain Pen With This Property ?

[jobodine]

I am looking for Chinese fountain pens with a grip section having an internal diameter in the range from 5.90 mm to 6.10 mm ( see picture ) . Please inform if you have this info .

 

So far, I noticed Jinhao 159, Jinhao X450 and Jinhao X750 . How's about those pens from Baoer or Wingsun ? Thanks.

Whether or not it's a Chinese pen is debatable, but the Nemosine Singularity uses the same feed/nib size as the pens you listed (all #6). While Nemosine is an american brand (house brand of Birmingham Pens), the pen is almost certainly made in China or Taiwan.

Just a fair warning about the Nemosine pen... Look at the pic carefully, the cap screws into the section, and not the barrel. Which means, whenever you unscrew the pen, the section unscrews from the barrel. A minor detail, but super-annoying to me, to the point where I stopped using it altogether... A big shame, as the nib (I have 0.6mm italic) is very nice.

whenever you unscrew the pen, the section unscrews from the barrel.

I assume you mean that it CAN happen, not that it ALWAYS happens. It's never happened to me anyway. Not that I use mine all that much - I found that #6 nibs are too big for my grip.

Any other pens from Jinhao, Baoer , Wingsun that can take a No. 6 nib ( i.e. 6. mm nib ) ? Please further inform . Thanks .

Lucky you... It happens to me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

 

One of those things that are mildly annoying that becomes unbearable, like a faucet that keeps dripping, a mild headache that never goes away, a song you don’t like but gets stuck in your head, or a wall paper that makes you wonder if the designer is color-blind...

Damn, that's bad. No, I absolutely wouldn't use it at all in that case. I had a similar problem on a Loclen Tiny; almost as soon as I started using it the barrel came off instead of the cap. It took me weeks to manage to pry the cap off. Not that it mattered; I had no intention of using the pen after that. And that's a pen that's far pricier than the Nemosine.

Talking about annoyance ...I got problem with a Jinhao X750 ( stainless steel one) . When I pull out the cap, the sleeve + feed + nib got stuck inside the cap itself ! All I have on the other hand is the section + converter + body ! And it is very difficult to take the (sleeve + feed + nib) assembly out again .

 

I solved the problem by wrapping teflon tape around the sleeve before inserting it back into the section again .

That sounds terrible. I haven't used a Singularity for years, but I don't remember having cap thread issues.

 

One thing that you might want to consider is to lightly grease the cap threads with silicone grease so it unscrews more readily than the barrel.
