Really Really Heavy Pens (that Don't Cost Too Much)

[bjcmatthews]

I have a number of large pens (Laban Mento's, Levenger Plumpster etc.) and I really like them

 

However, I would like to try some really heavy pens (not a top heavy pen, that's just annoying (like the posted plumpster))

 

Any models I should look into??

Rotring 600 springs to mind.

They are available with eyedropper models and Converter filling mechanism

 

Thanks,

The regal cambridge. i think it's my heaviest useable pen. don't look at the cheap price, the nib is really really awesome. The heaviest pen that i have is also by regal, i can't find it but it has a world map all over the body. it's so heavy that i haven't used it yet. Another heavy pen in my collection is the Franklin Christoph Model 14. It has a nice heft to it but it's perfectly useable. The nib is in my top 3 list.

winedoc sells a danitrio model that's rather heavy (https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php?/topic/173137-33-each-within-us-38-each-international/page__p__1735436__fromsearch__1#entry1735436)

I have one with overlay on the cap too. Very, very heavy pen!!

What about any brass over lacquer pen especially those from Chinese brands like Kaigelu and Duke?

Jinhaos can be pretty heavy in my experience.

The Waterman Philieas has a brass barrel and cap. And you can get them for less than $70 US. Is that heavy enough? I have no idea how they compare to the other pens mentioned above. I tried one of the Paradise Pen Company store brand pens and it was really heavy. And I think they are made by Franklin-Cristoph. Brian Gray of Edison Pens says that Scott Franklin makes good pens. I don't think Mr Gray gives out recommendations lightly. But the Paradise Pen may be too expensive.

For a really heavy pen, I'd recommend the Rotring Initial which can still be found (e.g. on eBay) for less than €30.

I was just thinking that - I have a Jinhao commemorative edition and I wouldn't want to drop it on my foot by mistake, unless I was wearing steel toecaps. Inexpensive, too, even including shipping from Hong Kong.

I just recently bought a NOS Pentel Excalibur, and it's quite heavy. Heaviest pen I own by far. It's heavy, but also thin and well balanced.

Heavy pen? The Haolilai 601F. From isellpens.com. (Bottom of the page)

I also prefer large pens (not necessarily heavy), and I recently got a Jinhao X530 off of ebay. I think it's the same pen on which they base the Confucius commemorative (there's an entry on it in the FPN review section), but mine is painted with colorful streaks instead of the engraving.

 

I have two other Jinhaos (both X750, also heavy and big, but not like this) and I believe this has the same nib. They are very nice writing nibs, smooth even upside down.

 

The price I paid was 99 cents. Yes, 99 cents. With shipping to Asia it totaled about 8 or 9 dollars. Extremely good deal.

Whoa ha! I would like to have a go at one of those...

Sheaffer Legacy. Beatiful styling, awesome nib. Also can double as a kubotan or ballast when needed.

I have a Monteverde Invincia Stealth that fits this category. Nice, heavy pen.

The Parker IM is a pretty heavy pen; too heavy for my taste, but it sounds like it would fit what you're looking for. It's also- for a Parker- a not very expensive pen; something well within your defined budget.
