Hero pens


Kelly

Recommended Posts

I've read some good things (lasting forever!) about these inexpensive little pens and can't seem to find them listed at my normal on-line haunts, so I thought I'd ask the experts. What on-line address has the best selection of Hero pens? I'd like to pick one up! Any recommendations/praise for a particular model would also be welcomed. Thanks in advance :D

The Hero 100 writes excellent! (Parker 51 imitation)

isellpens.com is the cheapest I've found them at 23.99 + 6 shipping for that. Selection is not as varied as hisnibs.com or wndpens.com, but I only wanted the 100 anyway, so it was a good buy for me :)

Excellent - thanks Betty and Chupie - checking those sites now :)

I actually ordered a Hero 160. I just could not resist the design on the cap(I'm a sucker for scrolls)!!! I was fully intending to get the red 100 and then paged down a bit and saw the 160. Fingers crossed that it writes decently. I figure I couldn't really miss for $20.99 including the shipping.

Cool! Let me know if it writes nicely :) I also brought a Hero 50 with Panda design on hisnibs.com, but that one doesn't write as nicely as the Hero 100, so I'm wondering about their other models besides 100, which I know is a great pen!

I am a hero freak, and have found www.waimar.com to have the best selection at the lowest prices. Owner is very friendly, shipping is like lightning (from China, no less!). Love this site. Have spent way too much there this year alone!

I like the look of the 100's and at the price you just can't go wrong! I've ordered one from isellpens, will be happy to give you some feedback once I get the pen.

Can someone tell me the differences between the Hero 100 and the Hero 329?

They are basically the same look, but quality wise, it's different. The 100 is obviously made with better materials. The cap is silver & heavier, while the 329 I got was gold color and very very light. You can feel the difference, but look wise, it's the same except for cap color

The Hero 329 also has a steel nib, while the Hero 100 has a 14K gold nib.

 

In case you are interested, the is an article at here comparing the Hero 100 and the Parker 51. Reviews of both the Hero 100 and Hero 329 can be found here.

 

I have never used the 329, but the Hero 100 I got from isellpens writes very well.

Kelly, make sure you let us know how you like your new pen.

Will do! :) I'm unsure if it's going to make her before the weekend though so it might not be until mid-late next week.

      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
