Biggest heads up of the years. I recently got a Jin Hao X159 <fine> fountain pen in and just did the initial flush, fill and writing test on it. To say the least, I’m astonished. The flush is 1 drop of Dawn per cup of water…then flush with fresh clean water several times. I stuck an “expensive” Graf von Faber-Castell Carbon Black cartridge in it, let it sit 10 minutes and started writing. Short story? This is a Chinese pen from a very good company that cost $13.50 and was delivered the next day by Amazon. It’s the black and silver model. It is very literally one of the best writing pens I own. It lists as a FINE but writes as a MEDIUM-FINE. Ideal for me. The original Jin Hao 159 is made of metal and is HEAVY…and has a #6 nib. This one is all acrylic, super light and has a new #8 nib and a redesigned ink feed with a ver wide flow channel.
I liked this so much I did a search over on eBay and ordered both the Burgundy and Navy Blue models for $16.72 total…delivered by Oct. 13.
