Beautiful set , congratulations.

Do they come with the medium (18Kgp embossed) or the new fine (F embossed) nib?

Just got my koi as well. Just curious how did you attach the omas nib. Omas nib is shorter than #6. It is always very loose on my jinhao 100.

It took the chance actually, I just pulled out nib and feed, and put the Omas in with same feed, it stays put by friction, despite being shorter.

It's always a hit or miss with different nibs, minor difference in width of nib, feed and collar can influence greatly.

I was probably lucky this time...

Three of mine have imprints: the black, the yellow and the red. The black and yellow are "limited edition" I found on taobao. The red is a regular issue.

Thanks, I will just keep trying.

If you are looking for another nib holder for an Omas nib you can also try the Gama Eyas.

It's an Indian eyedropper pen, the nib fits really well with the ebonite feed and works a treat. (excuse the OT)

Now I'm tempted to purchase the pink Centennial with the arrow clip.  Far too many

Hmm, I wonder if the imprints go hand in hand with the arrow clips? I ordered a white one off eBay so I'll eventually find out.

Got the Ivory Jinhao 100 in the mail yesterday. Very pretty with light striations that mimic real ivory. Arrow clip but no barrel imprint.

Did your two pens mate and produce these offspring? 😁

The Centennial has truly captured my attention.  My collection of them seems

to grow.  Now own  9 of them, which includes one of the checkerboard models.

If you don't mind my asking, is that last blue pen a Kaigelu 316A with an arrow clip? I've never seen one in that style before.

Great seeing everyones Jinhao Centennials! Yes, I've fallen into the rabbit hole and have ordered, I think, every single Jinhao 100 they make. I even found on ebay a discontinued centennial model in yellow swirl, very pretty. The centennial style suits me to a T. It's comfortable, very attractive, and affordable. I'm currently waiting on 10 more pens. Can't wait to ink them up with corresponding colors for each pen. I have other Jinhao pens, several  x450's, x750's and one black 159, a Hero, a Fuliwen, several Sheaffers, and a couple unbranded Chinese pens. I have been lucky for all of my pens to write smooth right out of the package and haven't found the need to swap nibs. If I ever run into that problem, then I'll look into swapping them out.

Hello everyone 👋     I'm a newbie to Chinese pens but ohmyword, what fun!

So far just Jinhao (a 9056 and two 100s so far) with a Moonman600 in transit.

 

I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the models and nib-swap options!  Varying degrees of success in the past replacing nibs has left me a little hesitant.

I LOVE the M nib on the last 100 I got! Cannot believe it to be honest, thinking a LOT about how I felt first time I wrote with Italix pens.

Not crazy about the F, felt too toothy for me. I did a little smoothing on .3m paper and it's somewhat better, of course paper surface dependent.

The jury is still out on the Tigerwood 9056 M, I'm playing with inks on this one but what a pretty package.

 

The main question though: can I get nib units for the J100s or do I need to pull the nib & feed asunder?

 

Thanks so much, cheers from Ireland.

It's a very easy one to fall into!! I am feeling the drag myself and I'm with you on these J100's. How I wish i'd found them before the 4 Duragraphs ... 😆

Just ordered my latest Jinhao 100.  Color is brown, which is an unusual color for a Chinese pen.  They

also now have the 100 in a very dark blue and burgundy colors.  Looking forward to adding the burgundy

red one to my collection

      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
