What Chinese Pens Are You Using Today? 2020 + 21


Recommended Posts

As I was just mentioning in another thread, I've just swapped a spare Omas nib in a Moonman M600s in which it happens to fit nicely. It's very juicy now.

I'm really Interested by the Centennial Koi, though.

Being a Jinhao, it's likely that swapping out the nib with a Bock might work (similar thickness of the nib to my experience, so a Bock nib should fit in the collar with the Jinhao feed).

My Penbbs-355(Snowflake) Flex

I absolutely have found my favorite type of pen and I'm slowly replacing all of my other pens with 355 model Penbbs pens. Will keep my vintage Swan though...

I use at least one of four Delike Brass Pocket pens everyday. One lives in the car, one in the kitchen, one by the nightstand, and one in my pocket. They never fail.

I agree with you that this pen has a smooth nib for the cost.  I own two of them with

medium nibs, and they both provide me with a pleasurable writing experience.

Ta Tung 717 is too dry and not fun to write with. 

 

Wing Sung 601A is a joy to write with, but sometimes the pen burps

 

Hero 007 is my first hooded nib pen, and it's better than my expectations.

 

I have 4 of PenBBS 494 pens, so far my favorites!

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, and 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.

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
