JINHAO X450 Fountain Pen M Nib (Grey Marble)

I’m a fountain pen enthusiast and most of my small collection consists of far more expensive items than this “cheapie,” but few write as well or smoothly. From reviews, I expected to replace the nib, but the unit arrived in perfect adjustment and I don’t see the need. I haven’t used the supplied filler yet (I may keep this pen for travel and stay with cartridges- especially as it will take full international standards as well as the more common short size), but reviewers say it works well. The only downsides, it’s a finger print and dust magnet, and the clip mounting cap is very tough to open, though I suspect this will ease with use. I’m using it with Schneider cartridges and the resultant ink flow is generous, but not overly wet. As a “leftie,” I like Schneider because the ink is very fast drying and water resistant, leaving my hand unstained by ink. In this pen, it works very well, making for a smooth writing experience even one cheap copy paper. On stationary, it’s superb. I especially like it with the. Mnemosyne top bound M180A notebook. For lefties, it allows the wire binding to be used on the “wrong” side, and out of the way. I know that not everyone has received their Jinhao in perfect adjustment, but at this price point, I suppose that’s the risk you take. If your’s isn’t perfect out of the box, there are many YouTube flics on adjusting or replacing the nib. It’s easy to do. Being a klutz, I’ve had to do it many times to many pens I’ve dropped over the years. The nib is a standard #6, so replacements are easy to find, though the better ones can cost far more than this pen! The nib supplied is a true “medium,” which is a bit unusual, as East Asian pens tend toward a finer line than European or American models. It has just enough “bite” so that there’s a good tactile sense of the paper surface with none of the squirmy feel of a rollerball. All in all, a first class pen for the price of a third class ticket.

I got this to compliment my other fountain pens, mainly because of the color combination. I got a huge fountain pen collection, but I'm always liking to buy more. You can never have enough pens and inks... When I got it, I fully disassembled it and cleaned it out with some dish soap. Re-assembled it, adjusted the tines to my liking, and threw some Diamine Desert Burst into it. Writes absolutely perfect. No issues whatsoever, no complaints. It just works and it feels good while it's at it. I already did some writing and some heavy sketching with it in the past few hours I've had it. Putting it through it's paces today. Went through half of the converter too. For those that are wondering if their pen writes horrible or leaks, first check the nib and feed. I know for most that aren't familiar with fountain pens, this can be very, very discouraging -- but it's a learning process. Folks -- these aren't BIC pens, they need TLC, no matter a Jinhao or an expensive Visconti, they need to be cleaned, adjusted, and regularly for that matter. There are great videos and Reddit articles out there that show one how to fully disassemble, reassemble, and adjust a fountain pen, especially a Jinhao. There are also plenty of places online to get aftermarket replacement nibs for these. For those that are wondering, the X450 has a Jowo #6 nib. Out of all of them, Jinhao fountain pens are the easiest to fully disassemble, clean and adjust. They are very durable pens and if treated with some dignity, they should outlast the user. I will continue to recommend Jinhao fountain pens for first time fountain pen users to get familiar.

So far so good. I have always had a penchant for fountain pens. I had tried another brand that looked good, but was a total fail. They would clog easily, like every day and actually had 1/2 nib on two different of these pens just break off with little use. The Jinhao pen seems to be better, but we will see. It seems to write much smoother than my original pen. I ordered the medium tib, but then ordered a second pen with a regular (fine?) nib. The only gripe is that I am using cartridges and that I had a great deal of difficulty getting the initial ink to prime and start flowing. An instruction booklet would have been handy but didn't come with anything. I had to go to YouTube to figure it out. It's simple, but one doesn't want ink all over from a priming mistake. . The cartridges came with the 2nd (and first) pen were stiff so squeezing with my fingers did nothing to prime the tip. I resorted to GENTLY squeezing with a small pliars. That worked, but not without of fear that I would have an ink mess. The construction of the pen(s) seems quite good. The medium nib is a bit smoother than the regular/fine on. I think these pens will demand me to change my writing technique which is a good thing. I think I would definitely recommend this brand and model. The price was cheap enough that I could order two with different nib thicknesses, which I did, even though I wasn't sure which one I would like better- and still don't know. I think these are great values.

This pen worths every penny!!! Don’t get fool by the price. Seriously get this one if you are a fountain pen writer/lover. I am trying to looking for a fountain pen and has red body color. I have always been a pilot and sailor fountain pen user. But I could not find a red one from those two brands that I like. I actually just shop blind and want to give this one a try, and it turns out now my favorite so far. I love the weight of the pen, and the gold medium nib is just pure beautiful! Unlike my sailor which is light and feel plastic, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the heavy feel of this Jinghao fountain pen. The craftsmanship just does not look like this is only under 10 bucks!!! I have own pilots and Sailors which cost more like $30-$50 range, but Jinghao now becomes my new favorite. Also a huge plus of the ink cartridge! It is 10/10! I am already place an order for a 2nd one!

Ürün özellikleri fiyata göre çok iyi.

Es una buena pluma para comenzar a desarrollar habilidad con la estilográfica, además de que no se ve tan barata como otras más. No es una pluma fina pero se desempeña muy bien y permite una escritura suave y fluida, la puntilla es muy buena para aprender a utilizarla. Poner atención especial a la tinta que va a usar en ella, ya que si se usa una muy barata, no correrá de manera uniforme.

Was better than I expected for a cheap fountain pen. It writes smoothly and well balanced.
