Larger Chinese Pens?

[Hoovy]

Hey everyone,

 

I'm looking for slightly larger Chinese pens - something around the size of a Pelikan M600 or MB 146. Under $20 shipped would also be a plus.

 

I've already purchased a Baoer 79, and am not interested in the Jinhao 159 (and X750 and other Jinhao pens of this size) as it is too large.

 

I've been looking through ebay and aliexpress, but I don't think I've found anything that would fit.

You could try looking at the Baoer 508, and 388 (Parker Sonnet size) The Duke D2 and 209, the Jinhao 500 and x250 and also the Kaigelu 316

 

I think they all fall within the sizes you are looking at.

 

Left to Right: Baoer 209, Duke D2, Baoer 388, Jinhao 500, Baoer 508, Jinhao x250, Pelikan M200

 

Hope this helps

Loiminchay Junior Qian Long is a large pen. The regular Qian Long is even bigger. Those are the only large Chinese pens I know. They are pretty expensive but I really like my Mini Qian Long.

The Sonnet is a little bit smaller than what I'm looking for - mine feels slightly too small in my hand. As for the other recommendations, I'll take a look. Thanks!

 

EDIT: So far so not-good. I think the only ones that may be of the right size (I'm mostly looking for width, not length) are the Duke D2 and Jinhao 500, although I'm having trouble finding the D2.

 

EDIT2: Nevermind; they're all available on aliexpress. Much obliged.

These are just a little bit too expensive for me

You might like this one:

Haolilai model #601Fhttp://a248.e.akamai.net/origin-cdn.volusion.com/rvbga.avcnm/v/vspfiles/photos/H601F-2.jpg

I have this one, having found it at Isellpens (the usual disclaimers apply!). The body is very slightly longer than the Jinhao 500. It has a nice heft and the nib is a very smooth medium.

Another good place to look is Amazon (same disclaimer). I've found many mid-size Chinese pens there, and the prices are very reasonable. I found a similar Haolilai (wholly different in looks, same nib and weight) there.

If you like overlays, there is the Jinhao 3000 shown here

If you can find a Hero Liseur that might work for you. isellpens used to carry them for less than $20
