Jinhao 650 Abalone Shell Barrel

I have this pen also, and I agree with you, it is a good collector pen. Very interesting and attractive pen. I do not put it in rotation often. The Jinhao #159 would prove more practical.

Jinhao 650 Rosewood barrel.

 

 

I would disagree slightly with part of this. I use it often without posting the cap and the slight softness of the nib somehow balances the weight of the pen to make it feel quite comfy. If the nib was a nail it would be different I think.

 

Totally agree that it's an extremely smooth and very wet(I'm, sure there must be a turbo pump somewhere in the pen) writer, and writes perfectly even after not using for weeks on end. The one I have is a broad although it doesn't say so on the nib.

Yong Sheng 016

I have this very pen... love it but it's being cleaned out and put into time out for drying out too quickly. It sure is pretty, though. Incidentally, I received this pen but I had ordered a similar Wing Sung on Amazon. Is Yong Sheng the same as Wing Sung?

I was reading in another FPN thread " I come from China" that Yong Sheng and Wing Sung mean same in two regional dialects!

      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
