Jinhao 100 Fountain Pen

Visually gorgeous pen, and the nib writes smooth. I'm a relative FP beginner, but it feels balanced in my hand. I do not post the cap when I write. I have it inked with a Diamine ink (writers blood), and I'm using the Medium nib, I believe. The ink doesn't skip, and there's no scratchiness - but it does give decent feedback with the paper so I feel like I'm in control of my pen strokes. I've used it on Tomoe River paper, Leuchtturm paper, and Molskine paper - it's incredibly smooth on the Tomoe, and I get the most feedback on Molskine. This is my second Jinhao 100, and I'm very pleased for the price!

I have purchased several other fountain pens, where some of these fountain pens have gold nibs. I can tell you that this particular fountain pen with the #6 nib provides the most versatility in the width of a stroke as you write, and along with the unparalleled smoothness as you write, there is no difference between this particular fountain pen versus a fountain pen that is far more expensive. It is a sheer joy to write with this fountain pen. Given that I don't ordinarily provide product reviews, the quality of this instrument stood out so dramatically, that I had no choice but to let everyone know that this is (I think) the best fountain pen that I have ever owned.

This seems to be an homage to an expensive Italian pen brand of similar appearance. For less than 10% of the price, you get a nice looking marbled orange acrylic body, or other colors, with a decent quality No. 6 nib. It wrote pretty well as delivered, though I did do a little work on the nib to increase ink flow. Recommended.

-Jinhao100 in FUDE/BENT POINT NIB Review- (purchased in Rainbow Celluloid body design) High quality Fude -AKA Bent Point- Nib style. Designed to easily go from broad to fine line variation for various Calligraphy styles (like faux copperplate) OR for just adding some attractiveness/fun to your daily writing. (Does this as it should easily). Converter for your ink IS included. It's good quality & easy to fill with ink. Ink is NOT included. BEST FEATURE: THE JINHAO 100 FUDE NIB IS THE MOST AFFORDABLE CHOICE FOR USING SPECIALTY SHIMMER SHEENING PEARLING INKS!!! This pen WILL showcase beautiful inks SPECTACULARLY as long as you're using fountain pen quality paper along with the pen after you've filled it with your glittery multi-colored high sheen pearlescent inks that you'd NOT want to waste using in a pen that won't perform or showcase these inks well. So it's crucial to use the pen with Rhodia, Tomoe River, Clairfontaine, or Japanese Maruman paper/notebooks that are designed for fountain pens & high quality sheen/shimmer/pearling inks. The coating on these papers showcase what the inks can do without any feathering of the ink while writing/drawing. The pen performs like silk on them, & these papers GSM (thickness) ensures the ink won't ghost or bleed through to the back side or next page. Nor will it soak up alot of your ink & waste it. See my video review & pictures of the Fude pen in action with specialty ink on specialty paper. I'm using Japanese Maruman paper along with specialty ink from the Wearingeul Yun Dong Ju Literature series collection. The ink is titled "A Star Spattered Hill". It has high sheen with 3 color gradients in yellow, orange, & gold, & it has gold shimmer added that sparkles beautifully. It's a $25 ink, 30ml bottle. J. Herbin (amoung other brands) also makes amazing specialty inks this Fude pen would showcase beautifully. The pen is an affordable option to showcase all high end inks perfectly, & the fude nib won't use too much ink. It won't give too much saturation on the page. Since these inks are more expensive, you don't want to waste them with too high of ink output from the pen either, which can also blob ink on the page & ruin your writing. This pen has not blobbed ink after 2 months regular usage to test it out/review. Flex nibs are more prone to that, which is why a Fude nib is a great option. The pen started immediately upon initial use after filling it. No issues getting the ink flow into the feed & nib. The pens screw cap closes securely (with no air holes) when pen is not in use. So, it won't dry out the ink inside between uses. No hard starts with glitter fountain pen ink inside the converter & feed either!! With specialty inks, after the pen has sat awhile unused, you want to gently tilt the pen up & down 10x or so before writing in order to mix the inks colors, sheening additive, & glitter evenly before you begin writing again. Don't shake it vigorously though or you risk spilling the ink into the cap. You want to do the same with your ink bottle before filling the pens converter with the ink. The Fude nib will show what the pen can do Calligraphy wise with writing styles that use a broad to thin line variation without a sharp edge. (Like modern & bounce lettering calligraphy styles). Other pens with smaller nibs don't put enough ink down to show what these inks are made to do. And on smaller nibs, the glitter can clog the feed or tines & become hard to start or cause a pen to skip/railroad while writing. So it's not ideal to use these inks in EF extra fine, F fine, or most M medium nibs. Broad, Stub, & Italic nibs are also a good choice for these kind of inks. They can lay down more ink though as these nibs come in larger sizes. If you're on a budget, Fude is the way to go. But Stub & Italic fountain pen nibs are used for italic or gothic style writing as they make crisp sharper angles/edges. Italic fountain pen nibs have the sharpest edge, while fountain pen stub nibs have a slight rounding of the edges. And like the Fude nib, the way you manipulate the pen will change your nib strokes. The wider the nibs stub, the more ink is laid down & the wider the lines. Fude nibs gives line variation without any sharpness of angles or edges, & is a standard size of line variation. Bounce or faux copperplate calligraphy style is examples a fude nib can do. A Broad nib just gives a consistent wider line that will not change in line or size variation nor give sharp angle/edges. The broader the size, the thicker the line, & the more ink is used. Monoline Calligraphy is a good choice with a broad nib. Be sure to clean/flush the pen now & then when using it with shimmer/sheening inks to ensure optimum performance. I just do this between changing inks. I designate 1 pen for darker inks & another for lighter inks in each nib style. A+++ 5 stars. The Fude nib is a great choice if you're new to exploring fountain pen writing with lovely beautiful inks on quality paper. Or, if you're a seasoned calligrapher or fountain pen user, you will love the way the Jinhao 100 Fude Bent Point Nib pen performs! Smooth buttery writer, no scratching. Lightweight body, pen posts well & won't back weight the pen when posted so no back weight effecting lettering. The posted cap won't fall off interfering with writing either. The cap stays put until you pull it off the back & is a secure fit. Jinhao makes replacement Fude nibs too should you drop the pen on the nib etc. So the pen should last a life time if you take care of it & clean/flush it regularly.

It has a nice weight to it writes smooth and is a beautiful pen overall

The Jinhao 100 is a beautiful pet. It’s cellulose and not metal. So it’s very light in weight. It writes predictably well. But it is a lightweight pen. The Jinhao x450 or x750 are metal pens and feel much better. Those pens are half the price of this pen and feel twice as good. If you want an inexpensive pen that looks like a Parker Duofold this is a good selection. If you want a pen that looks and feels like a weighty pen, a red Jinhao x450 or x750 are better options IMO.

The Jinhoa 100 pen is based on the design of the Parker Duofold, a luxury classic pen. Obviously for $20 the materials and build quality will not be the same, but this is actually a beautifully smooth writer that puts down a lot of ink. I have a medium nib, which seems a little thicker than some other Japanese mediums (including my other Jinhoa's), and more like a European medium/medium fine. The nib actually says it is 18 carat gold plate! (probably quite thin layer of gold at this price point, but still it's very nice). Only had the pen a couple of days, but so far no problem with starting and no missed strokes. My favorite from my growing cheap pen collection, I have order another in a different color. Highly recommended!

ベントニブを購入しました。インクフローも良く、気に入りました。 点検の為かブルーのインク付着していたので洗浄してから使用しました（４枚目参照） ふでDEまんねんと比べるとペンポイントがある分引っ掛かりが少ない書き心地。太さは繊細に変えにくいですが、安定した太さが出せる。裏返しても掠れずかける。2mm～0.38mmくらいがかける。

インクコンバーターがついてた！良心的 軸は太め、キャップの直径が14㎜くらいある(クリップは含まず) 軸の真ん中辺りが12.5㎜くらい、一番後ろのお尻のところで11㎜といった感じ 重めで、書き味は硬め 腕が疲れるので、筆記時はキャップをお尻に差さず握っとく運用をする予定 あと普通に中古だった インクを入れ、書いたら、入れたインクとは大分違う色の文字になった 前に他の色のインクが入って洗浄が甘かったんだろうな でも可愛いのでok

Molto più bella dal vivo che in foto, resina luminosa e di ottima qualità. Inoltre scrive molto bene, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo

アメリカの某万年筆のパクリのようなデザインですがブランドにこだわりがなければOKとのことで購入。軸が樹脂製なので他のJinhao製品と比べ軽く丁度良い重さです。ただしキャップポストをするとバランスが悪くなります。以前購入したMニブのJinhao X450がまあまあの書き心地だったのでEFニブにしてみましたがこれが失敗。個体差かどうかはわかりませんが、中国製の場合は外れを引くこともありとの事実は承知しておいた方が良いです。インクフローが途切れることはないのですが渋いです。色彩雫の冬将軍を使っているせいで目立つのかもしれませんが、書き始めてすぐ線が細く薄くなってしまいます。ペン先にもかなり抵抗感があり長時間の筆記には向きません。 軸の美しさを眺めることだけで良しとします。

色が気に入って初めて中国製の万年筆を買いました。左利きのせいか引っかかりとインクのボタボタで、まだ書けないです。いらない紙で試し書きやペン先が馴染まないか練習中です。ドイツ製やアメリカ製、フィンランド製の子供用の万年筆の方が一文字目から書きやすかったかな(;O;)
