Duke a newly extablished fountain pen manufacturer in China. It has 2 factories, one in Hainan and the other one in Shanghai. The factory has only got less than 20 years history. Most of their products have a heavy nice box, very good for a gift. Some of their model are quite famous now, including Ruby, Sapphire and 209-1 calligraphy set.

Hey,Friends ,can you tell me why you know this ?

In one minute you can change your attitude and in that minute you can change your entire day.

The details of Duke as a fountain pen company aren't too hard to find out. There is some of the history on the Dukepen.com website.

Hi

I bought their Charlie Chaplin model on ebay a few years ago. It was a little small for me but the nib was really excellent

HI,Chaim ,can you show me which DUKE PEN model you brought ?

 

it was to small for you to hand-held it ?i thought maybe big pen-holder is more suitable for you .

 

As for me ,my slim hand not easy to hold the large pen .I would prefer to chose slim one ,with elegant style .

 

 

Recently ,i am interested in the DUKE pen of No .89B Dream .

 

 

 

I would share more about this model latter .Now here just shared the picture and writing .

Best Regard ,

And with Mr Gao (ycpens) being one of our favourite and most trusted sellers on E-Bay, he is likely to have had quite a few dealings with Duke over the years.

The pen is short. You can put the cap on the barrel when you write with the pen.

The Duke pen I prefer is the Porcelain

 

http://www.giardino.it/pens/duke/IMMAGINI/PorcellLotus.jpg

it's so delicate and elegant.

 

But the most impressive is the Guibao (L.E.), in my opinion.

http://www.giardino.it/pens/duke/IMMAGINI/GuibaoCh.jpg
It's the most tipical Chinese, as we - Western people - imagine Chinese pens should be: rich, overdecorates, gold and colors...

I own quite a selection of the Duke pens. It was one of the first brands that I bought on Ebay when I started using fountain pens again. My favorite is the Dark Green Sea or something to that effect. Its got the abalone shell strips in it and writes beautifully and always. I have the Mako's, the ruby and sapphire, Most in their boxes. Great pens, great quality and good writers.

 

thanks

I am new to the Duke user community but genuinely impressed with the quality and price.

 

way to go Harlequin on becoming a moderator. You were new to the forums on fountain pens this time last year and really have researched and developed a rich expertise.

Rob Maguire (Plse call me "M or Mags" like my friends do...)I use a Tablet, Apple Pencil and a fountain pen. Targas, Sailor, MB, Visconti, Aurora, vintage Parkers, all wonderful.

I am going to need two things. A PM with instructions and some time off again to catch up on the FPN boards and the catch up with you all in the virtual chat room.

I have had good experience with Duke pens. In my experience, they are solidly built and provide good value for the price. In my rotation I have a Great Shanghai and the terribly-ugly-but-worth-a-laugh Shakespeare. (I am a former high school English teacher and an almost lifelong Shakespeare buff.)

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.

The Duke pens I see all have medium or calligraphy nibs. What models are available with fine nibs? Anyone know?

I'm at the opposite end- I would like a Duke pen with a western medium or even broad nib, but cannot find one.

      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

      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
