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.

      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
