Jinhao 86


PHHPHD

Recommended Posts

I saw a video of this Parker 51 look alike and ordered it.  The photos of the pen and the one video review I saw shows the cap to be a screw on.  The pen I received looks identical to the pictures in the advertisement but the cap pulls off.  There is a plastic sleeve that serves the same function as the old metal clutch ring.   My cap looks like everyone else's Jinhao 86 and the body looks the same.  This pen was cheap.   Less than $4 US with the shipping.   It writes incredibly well.  I told my wife that life is not fair because this pen outperforms pens costing waaaay more.   Does anyone know if the there was a design change from screw on to pull off cap?   Or did I receive a different pen?   I'm keeping what I have regardless because I really like it.

I figured it out.  The plastic band is supposed to be fixed inside the cap.   It has the threads that the barrel screws into.  I was able to unscrew it from the barrel but am having trouble getting the plastic sleeve to stay inside the cap and not pull out.

Jinhao 86 is a cheap version of Jinhao 85 steel.

The fountain pen is disassembled easily without a tool.

The sale price on Aliexpress is from $ 1.55 to $3

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
