Hongdian N1S Piston Fill Fountain Pen Review
Просмотров 2,3 тыс.3 года назад
The Hongdian N1S - a fountain pen with a piston filling mechanism. I can only find this model sold in this colour (yellow-orange), and with an EF nib. Looks amazing for the price (around USD $15 on AliExpress's 11.11 Sale), but writes extremely dry.

    I'm glad I found this review! I do not have the A1, but I do have the Hongdian 885 Mt Qomolangma with the same nib. It is one of my most satisfying writers, behaving as you have demonstrated. (By the way, the 885s came in three colors, black, white, and red. The black and white nibs were two-toned, as you describe, black or silver-toned, which led me to choose the red.)

    In general, Jinhao pens are terrible. I have many--even the ones that were all a rage about 8 years ago. I don't touch them anymore. Jinhao has improved, but still feel line you're writing on a nail. Why don't reviewers consider that aspect of the nib--too pointy and sharp. Jinhao Centennial 100 is not too bad. They're smooth but too sharp--only for Chinese whose lack of alphabet requires very fine, often dry nibs to write all those millions of tiny thin lines. In West, we have no such need and prefer wet, juicy and smooth, preferably broad like Cross. China should learn from Cross--curve nib around feed, create a space, and ink flows smooth, wet, and juicy, but this is not what Chinese want--they hate such pens. My wife is Chinese--she writes with dry, extremely fine nib old Platinum fountain pen which I hate.

  • @arnar8238

    Hello, I know you have the EF nib, but the pen should come with an F nib too. Do you happen to know whether the F nib is a round nib or a sword nib?

  • @knifenoob5411
    @knifenoob5411 3 года назад

    Kaigelu is way better. Can’t believe how cheap the jinhao seems to be when comparing both of them. Kaigelu feels more substantial, the converter is way better and the material is way more visual appealing on the Kaigelu.

    I enjoy the weight and the smoothness of the wood. The last Ebony version I received has gunmetal trim and a very nice springy nib. The nib seems a bit different that other Jinhao nibs from last year. Thinner and more flexible.
