Disassembly:
• Majohn P139 Piston Dis...
The first leak of this pen dated back to Nov, 2023. After some regular delays, it was launched yesterday.
The high price due to:
1. ebonite feed - but it does not come with Low Ink Refill function
2. all metal piston components - why? MB Hemingway with all metal piston mechanism?
so, both "upgrade specifications" do not actually deliver any "upgrade in function".
Pro:
quite a bit vintage pen look, homage to MB Hemingway, don't sleep old man don't sleep.
Con:
1. expensive, compared with other makers with similar specifications.
2. no Low Ink Refill function.
3. when posted, the cap will rest on piston knob and turn it with ease (pictures near the end). (newly added, found out after 24 hours of ownership)

The ebonite feed is so that ink will wick through the nib. It has nothing to do with where you fill the pen. You always dip a pen all the way in up to the section to fill it. The reason for ebonite is it's the best material to flow ink through to the nib.
Entertaining as always!
The breather hole on the nib is to allow air to flow into the pen not ink. Ink flows from inside the barrel of the pen into the ebonite feed through capillary action and you need air flowing into to equalise pressure inside the barrel. If this didn’t happen you would have a vacuum and no ink would flow. The fink flowing from the barrel eventually ends up at the tip of the nib. The tines of the nib have a small gap between them to allow the ink to flow. All fountain pen feeds have a second hole usually under the feed and near the section that allows ink to be drawn up into the ink chamber either by an ink converter or in this pen the piston inside the barrel. Moving the piston up sucks ink up into the barrel. Moving the piston down forces any ink or air out of the feed. For this to work the ink feed hole NOT the breather hole must be under the ink. You can check where the ink feed hole is by putting the whole nib and part of the section under water. Turning the piston down forces air out of the barrel and you will see and hear bubbles as the air escapes. This will prove its not the breather hole on the top of the nib its the separate ink feed hole underneath the feed and near to the section that is where ink is drawn in. Hope this helps. Enjoy your pen. It’s looks very good.
Love your humour 😂 looking forward to what you post next
That's what I call *OVERKILL LETTER OPENER*
Sometimes my mails arrive big.
This pen is an obvious copy of a Mont Blanc Hemingway. Looks pretty good.
I can see you've got a hell of an "unpacking" knife! Absolutely great! Is there a way we can purchase it online?
You need to understand the local regulation, which varies vastly from country to country, even region to region.
I don't know of any piston filler that fills from the breather hole. All fill from channel in back of feed. Has nothing to do with what feed is made of. Need to submerge section to fill.
pelikan m800, wingsung 629/630, fills from breathing holes. That's only the pens in my collection. I bet more out there. Check my Low Ink Refill video.
@@Shanghai_Knife_Dude The problem is that ebonite is hard to work with and probably it's not even possible to design ebonite feed with "low-ink refill" support
@@tester776 disagree with justification. Try Pelikan M800, ebonite feed with solid LIR. But very expensive though.
@@Shanghai_Knife_Dude Yep, maybe they(Majohn/Moonman factory) just don't have the proper equipment to produce proper ebonite feeds or something like that. But it's bad that this pen does not have that low ink refill ability
@@tester776 the Chinese makers need to offer their most of their pens under $50. While Pelikan m800 is at $400. ebonite feed is not something rocket science. It's all about "price niche" to fit in. There are some crazy China pens in my channel, but i don't think they fit into peoples stereotype of "China pen is affordable" and will not make good sales.
I am really looking forward to getting my hands on one! Thank you so much for your video, you are the first on youtube I think.
If you do wan't to get rid of it, let me know ;)
You're going to need an ink miser just to fill the pen. You can print one if you have a 3D printer.
Yes, first. I am now working towards the best, delivering thoughtful and meaning content.
@@Shanghai_Knife_Dude makes sense, let me know if you are interested 😉
Hi Dude, I saw your video yesterday and made a lenghty comment. It vanished. Don't know what YT is doing. Anyway good to see that the price is quite normal except on Ali where the same thing happens as it did with the P138.
I experience the same vanishing post. YT auto delete any third party shopping sites names. AliexpreXX, for example, ali will be fine.
Can you make a video taking out the nib and feed?
Just pull. But it requires skills. The ebonite feed is kind of fragile, i already knew someone has broke it in half and unable to get a replacement at the moment. My suggestion: don't practice it until this pen is widely available. This pen currently is very sought after at the moment.
1st time I’ve heard cow ass mentioned in a fountain pen review! 🤣
@@Paul.Douglas oh, did I? Pardon my French.
@@Shanghai_Knife_Dude 🤣🤣🤣
Couldn't you find a bigger knife? 🤣🤣🤣
where can i purchase it?
Try Google the name, see whatever links it pop up.
i bought a #6 nib fine… 8 was sold out entirely
Yes, the #8 just vanished after seconds, too hot.
I assume from your channel name that you are Chinese or at least reside in China. May I ask you what, if anything, 'Majohn' means?
末匠， Chinese pounce: mar dgang. Straight English translation: the last standing craftsman. “majohn”, “moonman”, mimic from Chinese sound.
Just ink the pen and make your judgement on how it writes. I have never seen a pen review where someone judges a pan from how much water it hold from dipping the nib into water. And why complain about the price? Chinese pen are extremely affordable! Top of the line European pens can cost over $1,000!
The complain is based on other China makers with similar specifications. I compare apple to apple. Railways workers in China never go on strike. Pointless to compare price tag between European and China. Money is yours, you decide what to buy.
Does the new Majohn post?
It does post.
