Advice For Chinese Pens


mns68

Recommended Posts

i doubt there one Hero 3013 that comes with it but you can always install it on it, it should use #5 nib as i can see so there shouldn't be a problem to find one from china

look on ebay for Gothic Duckbill Parallel Nib it's gonna give you list of pens that use this more calligraphy and broader nibs, not economical to buy whole pen for the nib but there sometimes sellers who sell them separately under same deal, also look at Jinhao 871 there one deal right now in which they sell this nibs separately for like 1$. Not gonna provide any links cause they can expire easily, and as Bob somewhere on forum said "this forum already have too many dead links" as a new user myself thats search stuff here alot I totally can feel that ><

 

Hope that helps, maybe someone can correct me if i'm wrong

what I found during my search is Hero 5028 with set of different nibs , I think price is good and I am gonna to buy one

Baoer 388! I stopped using Jinhao x750 in favor of this pen because I have smaller hands.

 

I received 4 of this pen, gifted 2 of them, and I'm currently using 2 of them, one at home another at office. One is filled with Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Black, another with a custom mix of mine (a mix of Chinese inks).

 

For me, this pen is a nice wet writer, and gives a little bit more feedback comparing to a smooth x750 nib, but for me it's not a problem at all. Actually, I like it a bit more because of this.

 

Also, Jinhao 991 is a great pen to give away, tinker with or to salvage parts, or to get #5 fine, extra fine or bold nibs as a cheap way. When you search as Jinhao 994 (same pen, I guess the matte version is named as 994 but I'm not sure) at Aliexpress, there are sellers that sells them $0.59 shipped. Also, there are some Jinhao 991 results with fine, extra fine and bold nibs options. I have a Jinhao 991 with an unhooded EF nib, and another converted to eye-dropper.

      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
