JINHAO Fine Nib Fountain Pen with Ink Cartridges & Converter, Perfect Weight, Optimal Flow, No Skipping

I've never had the chance to use a fountain pen, so experience may vary. I already LOVE this pen after ordering one out of curiosity. I always wanted to try a fountain pen, because I love using really fine point pens, so I bought one. The way it writes compared to anything else feels so nice against the paper, and the fine point but thick lines is something I could only ever have dreamed of. It handles faster strokes quite well, although you will need to be holding it at a particular angle, given its design. It has a nice heft to it for being made entirely out of metal, which makes it feel good in the hand. The actual kit it comes with is quite nice, too. You get 10 ink cartridges total (5 black and blue), and a conversion kit if you'd rather have an ink dipped pen instead. I personally wouldn't have a need for the small pouch, but it's a nice touch to make the whole thing feel a little more fancy. This is a REALLY nice pen. If you're someone who loves needle point pens, but want thick lines like a ballpoint, this is it. It's cheap in price, but it feels like you'll have spent 5x as much. Definitely gift material for anyone.

This is a fountain pen bundle that includes a 5 black ink cartridges, 5 blue ink cartridges, ink converter, a pen sleeve and a Jinhao fountain pen. I believe the model is the Jinhao 88, but i couldn't find the real model number in the product description. Note that I bought this for myself originally, then gifted it to a friend to try to get them into fountain pens so I don't have it anymore. But I did like it a lot and was not trying to get rid of it when I gave it away. Build quality: the cap, section and body are metal (brass?) with a nice looking matte black finish. Has a nice bit of weight to it and feels well balanced to me. I got the impression of quality when holding it. Design: Understated, which I really like. May not be for those that like flashy pens. There is some fluting / grooving on the barrel that makes it a little more interesting to look at and feels nice to the touch. Nib, ink flow: I got the fine nib and it was very smooth, surprisingly so. Definitely smoother than my Lamy Safari. Ink flow was slow at first but it opened up after writing for a bit and the flow was good after that. This was one of the first pens I bought and I don't think that I flushed it with water when I received it. It might have removed this issue altogether. Also, I cannot remember which ink I used. It was probably one of included black ink cartridges or Hongdian black ink. Using a different ink may give different results. Pen sleeve: I actually really appreciated the included pen sleeve. I think it is a nice size, protects the pen's surface nicely and has a flap that tucks in to a strap so no part of the pen is exposed. I am trying to find out if / where I can buy the pen sleeves directly so I can protect more of my pens. Overall, I really liked this bundle. I thought the pen was good quality even before considering the price. The pen alone would be a good deal for the $10 I paid, but the fact that it comes with 10 cartridges, a convert and protective sleeve makes the value/$ high

I really like this pen. It's heavy compared to my disposable pens. It's very sturdy. It has a very nice finish. Ink flows through it very smoothly and consistently. I have had no issues with spotting or leaking and the ink flows consistently until the pen runs dry. Once a new ink cartridge is inserted the ink flows again as if it never stopped. It takes some force to insert a new ink cartridge but once inserted they're very secure and easy to remove later when necessary. I will buy more Jinhao pens.

For the cost of this I was not expecting much honestly but had seen some good reviews. This is a solid pen with a little weight it does not feel like a lot of those cheap pens. I have some pens that write smoother but cost much more. This is a solid pen for the cost and I will be getting others.

This is a great little pen. It actually makes writing fun, it makes a soothing scratching noise when you are writing. Easy to load the ink cartridge not messy at all.
