Dannitu 100

[LapsangS]

I bought this pen at an Ebay store called "Ultra Collections". It arrived today by mail. It's a really beautiful pen, quite slim but I like slim pens. It cost me only $3 plus shipment. It came with a converter included, but it is quite loosely fitted and I'm afraid it will accidentally leak ink inside the barrel. I haven't yet tried another converter or a cartridge (I assume it takes the standard ones).

 

The nib is very smooth and a pleasure to write with. The size is somewhere between fine and medium, and is just perfect for my personal handwriting style.

 

 

Has anyone else of you tried this pen? How does it compare with other Chinese made pens (Hero etc) ?

I have one and use it from time to time. My filler mechanisim looks loose also but it hasn't had a leak yet.

 

It is an astonishingly good pen for pocket change.

 

My biggest beef is the size and the "too-fine" nib. But if you like the size and the nib, it is a good find.

 

I have some Hero 100s too and they are about the same.

I have not used this brand though I have seen them in China. I have not been sufficiently atrtracted to them to actually buy one (when I am surrounded by Heros and Dukes). Heros run the gamut from very inexpensive (and not that good) to very expensive and very impressive. Dukes are also pretty good pens. My rather vague impression of the Dannitu is that they are sllightly below the mid to high range Heros and Dukes. I may be wrong though.
