It's cheap, that is why i bought it when I was staring a month ago.... I have not heard a thing about this pen. My only Hero but so nice, always writes at the first time as it should when capped for a few days. Also smooth wring nib. Is this a new Hero?

 

i like that semi-hooded style. if i spot one for a good price, i may just have to snap one up.

It is a Hero 2017 and it works fine. Google it, appears at $7.00 in some places. It took an eternity to reach me.

Mine is 2017. Different number, different pen.

Am I missing some joke here?My sentiments exactly. I saw a Hero 336 selling for US$7 somewhere online. I have one myself, and it cost about a tenth of that price here(Singapore), so I figure its probably cheaper in China. After all, what's the point if you can have something like a 1000% profit margin with the real thing.You are quite right.The price of hero 329 in China is about $1,and hero100 is $15~$20. hero 100 is a nice pen with a nice price,we think highly of it.

What kind of hero 100 do you have in the first photo? I like the design of the cap but have never seen anyone like it. Is it polished?

Thanks

My friend has had good luck with the Hero 100 especially. It's been hit or miss for me with the Hero 616. I don't have experience with other Hero pens, but I can vouch for their inks, despite the chemical smell.

      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
