mke Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Wingsung 234 - said to be from the 1990s.Caught my eye because of the marble? design and the Sheaffer-like nib.If you start writing with this nib, it feels first very stiff - but I got quickly used to it.I like it. Link to post Share on other sites

Hanoi Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Are the newly made Chinese pens of better quality than the older Chinese pens? Like when was the latest update to machinery equipments at a major Chinese pen company? Link to post Share on other sites
mke Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) > Like when was the latest update to machinery equipments at a major Chinese pen company? As soon as they tell us, we will post the answer here. Please check from time to time. Edited June 11, 2020 by mke Link to post Share on other sites
mke Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) Hero 737 in black.This pen is a very positive surprise. Looks good, nib performance optimal.Price is about $10 at the moment.Another surprise was the pen bag. Looks like suede, probably isn't but it feels good - much better than any of these little bags I have received until now. Edited June 22, 2020 by mke Link to post Share on other sites
A Smug Dill Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Daiso-Hauser fountain pen with a blue barrel, filled with Hero 234 carbon black ink. Write finely for what is nominally a Medium nib, and very smoothly. I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct for valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here. Link to post Share on other sites
mke Posted June 23, 2020 Author Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) Hong Dian Forest Series in all black, nib size EF/F This is the first Hong Dian pen, I bought. Actually together with another one.I am impressed - the quality seems to be very good. Need to use it a little bit more before I can draw a conclusion.The nib writes on some papers very nicely - on other papers, there is some resistance. But I think, I can get used to that behavior.Don't expect flex, this nib is stiff.Still, I am impressed. Edited June 23, 2020 by mke Link to post Share on other sites
mke Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) Not today but for tomorrow. Just inked it up with Waterman Serenity Blue. A quick test tells me already, I am falling in love with their EF nib.Model 517S, I think. Edited June 25, 2020 by mke Link to post Share on other sites
Plumette Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 A PenBBS long-tail model 267 in Amber is a Cat. The colors of this pen are more beautiful than any of the pictures. It writes smoothly, even with subpar ink (all I could find at first, after moving house). And the little kitty paws on the nib! This was going to be my last PenBBS purchase, but I don't know, I don't know. Le plus gentil enseignement pour la vie, c'est bene vivere et laetari (Bonaventure des Périers).

A Smug Dill Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 These two Wing Sung 3013 pens in my wife's pen cup needed 'fixing', as they wouldn't write even though their ink reservoirs were still >75% full: I'd say they write smoothly (but not so completely devoid of feedback that the experience is unpleasant or difficult to control) and wetly — such that the Robert Oster Claret and Dark Chocolate inks are barely distinguishable from each other on the page — but their EF nibs aren't noticeably finer than the nominally M nib on the Daiso-Hauser fountain pen. I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct for valid.

AmandaW Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 A newly arrived Jinhao 51a with a fude nib will be my drawing pen for the day. My first pen with a hooded nib. So far I'm impressed. It's all about the greys... Link to post Share on other sites
MuddyWaters Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 That's my favourite acrylic for the penbbs, they must have a common supplier.
