HONG DIAN N8 Red Acrylic Resin Fountain Pen, Iridium Extra Fine Nib Rose Gold Trim Maple Leaf Carving Cap, Smooth Writing Pen with Converter and Metal Pen Box Set

I bought this as a gift for my wife, unsure if she would like to write with a fountain pen. Not to worry, she loves it. The workmanship is remarkable at this price point. It writes smoothly, no blobs or skips and no leaks! Edges are finished smooth with no burrs or rough spots. The design and aesthetics are superb. The pen is a tiny work of art!

I'd had this in my Save For Later list. Then it went on sale on Prime day. It's a beautiful pen and writes well. It posts securely, but is a bit back heavy. Reverse writing is surprisingly good, smooth with a super fine line. An excellent pen, especially for the price.

Nice pen, not as good as the N23, but overall it writes smoothly and is attractive.

Nice pen design. The ‘gold’ leaf will probably wear off over time, but it’s good for the price. Nib was good out of the box: generous ink flow, nice line width variation between vertical and horizontal strokes. I polished mine to be a little smoother on the page.

I just received my Maple Leaf pen, and I am in love. It is beautiful. I inked it with Diamine Writer's Blood ink; it writes beautifully, and I love the ink color. I am new to acquiring fountain pens, and now I am about to enter the world of acquiring additional ink colors. When I became interested in fountain pens, I watched several YouTube videos and thought pen people are nutty; now I am beginning to understand the obsession.

Just too gorgeous to pass up, was a birthday gift I got to pick out. The pen is well balanced and can go several days tucked away and writes like a dream. I won’t be so quick to pass over Hongdian. I do have the yellow daisies Hongdian as well. I did a nib reset on both as I do on almost every pen

Very nice pen for little money. Writes smoothly and comfortable in my hand. Nice ink converter…can see ink level. Much better than “piston” type converter.

Expected more from this pen based on you tube videos viewed. It’s a very pretty pen and it does have an ebonite feed. I ordered a medium, it wrote more like a scratchy fine point. The pen also had hard starts which I did not expect from an ebonite feed. Disappointed!
