Jinhao have just released these. They are acrylic (resin) barrels and come in three shades: orange, white and brown-red. Interesting that its not a metal body. Its being advertised as a Jinhao Duofold Centennial Resin Fountain Pen. Cant imagine where they got the idea from.

Jeez, and they've even got a "sort of" white one, with the same nuts in the background. How "impressive", it sports the same nib found on all their $3.00 models.

How depressing.

Could you provide a link to the offer, because I somehow can't find it.

 

Try this. There aren't many up there yet, so they may have sold.

 

I saw an instagram post from Bobby which said he would be getting them in next month.

I like the Moonman M600 better.

How is it quality wise?

If an injection moulded Jinhao (which, I suppose, isn't certain) is the same price as a CNC turned Moonman, I can't see a reason to bother with the former.

 

I'm glad the style is making a resurgence, though. I live in hope of another Ranga group buy on Ebonite Emperor pens.

This Jinhoa has an appeal but the price is a bit more, nay, lot more, than I'd wish to pay. Basied on the past history of such new offerings from Jinhoa, what are the prospects for a reduction in price over time?

I mean... Jinhao's medium nibs are pretty damn legendarily good.

 

Can't say I see a reason why this isn't worth $20 apart from stigma.

Selling a boatload of restored, fairly rare, vintage Japanese gold nib pens, click here to see (more added as I finish restoring them)

I seriously like the Moonman better except for the colour options, Jinhao just do this better this time.

Moonman M600S nibs are about the same price as Jinhao nibs and I'd say aren't any better.

 

If it's really about $20 then I'm very likely going to get one as soon as they are available on ebay.

A single offer for all three colors appeared on ebay.

 

EDIT: Several new offer appeared.

 

One of them actually calls it Jinhao Duofold Centennial (others just Jinhao Centennial)... really subtle there.

Well, the price on many vendor's sites is down to $20.98. I suspect further decreases are in the offing. After all, it's a plastice pen made by an injection molding process by a mass producer of pens using nibs for which the cost of machine tools and dies costs have been retieved many time over.

I'd join the group buy for my second Emperor in such case!

I just paid £13.59 for a Terracotta which is about 17.98 USD. I didn’t even bother searching around for other prices as it was from a seller I’ve used before. I started with the Kaigelus before the Moonmans and have grown to like the style. The white version I wasn’t so keen on and the brown looked too much like a Kaigelu. One day I’ll get a Parker.

I have the orange one on the way. I probably won't see it until January.

I have just seen these pens. I would have to fork out the same again for a alternative nib.

If only their OE nib were slightly finer, there'd be no need for a immediate swap.

In a basic Jinhao X450 you accept the OE nib. But now the price is higher they ought to have improved 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
