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

      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
