Jinhao 9056 - Tiger Skin Ebony


Shanghai Knife Dude

Recommended Posts

Back to the year of 2022, it was the year of Tiger. This pen was therefore purchased before the new year holiday. 

I was quite concerned with wood cracking. After 2 years in storage, wood is still intact. 10/10 body work.

It is not a small pen, almost same feeling as gripping the MB149. 9/10 ergonomy. 

Regular filling cartridge of 1 ml, within expectation. Not until the Dadao 9019 2ml monster filling was launched, cartridge is just the least thing to talk about from a fountain pen. After Dadao 9019 (Jul, 2023), I expect all cartridge to be as good as the Dadao one. Otherwise, low score. As this pen was launched before Dadao, it is still 10/10 for filling system.  

The nib is typical Jinhao style, rigid and smooth. 10/10 nib. 

It was paid less than 10 dollars, super bargain. 10/10 value. 

Overall impression, this is a decent pen with natural material. Handle with care.

      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
