Since this thread was revived anyway, I will chime in and say that I recently discovered the hero 616 and rather like it a lot. Its got a nice fine nib, a decent wet flow, and its a smooth writer. This $2 pen is an amazing value, and the writing experience is excellent.

I just ordered 10 of these for $6 on ebay. I look forward to trying something like a Parker 51...and having spares I guess. :lticaptd: Can't beat the price and I love the utilitarian vintage look. Already can't wait to try them!

I have a Hero 616 Small , a Hero 616 Jumbo , a Hero 616 Jumbo (golden cap) and a Hero 616-2 (2014) . Do i miss something in Hero 616 family ? Ideas for other pens, in the Hero 616 family !!!!

I love Fountain Pens, with hooded nib in the classic style, Parker 51/61 type .

Or one of those custom crafted barrel ; I ha two wooden barrel for my 616 small and needless to say it instantly put the pen up a tier or two in the aesthentics and certainly look expensive ; luxury and quite fashionable. The most expensive one I know of is actually a custom crafted solid Titanium version of the 616. Its way overkill shall I say it

This is a good pen, I have been leaving them in public places Johnny Appleseed fashion to promote fountain pen usage.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
