Jinhao 9019 Fountain Pen, Dadao Series #8 Medium Nib, Light Blue Transparent Acrylic Barrel with Golden Clip Big Size Writing Pen

The Jinhao 9019 fountain pen is outstandingly wide barrelled, and you will either love or hate this design choice. For me, I absolutely love the fatness of the barrel and grip, it really stands out in width in comparison with many other pens, and I find it so comfortable to hold and write with, allowing broad large script strokes as well as the smaller writing styles. I have two 9019s with EF nibs and it has to be said they are scratchy on the paper I have tried (100gsm), although they give a regular very fine line, with constant ink flow in my versions. I also have a 9019 with an F nib and it writes much more smoothly that the EF, however the line width is also significantly wider than the EF, so I am torn between the EF and F in the 9019 models. My writing preference is for a finer line and smaller hand writing styles, so I would naturally prefer the EF nib, but the smoothness of the F nib is nicer to write with. For the price of these pens I think it is a no brainer to get one or two to try them out, particularly if you like wide barrelled large pens. This model resembles one of the Montblanc pens used when people sign important documents on tv, which will undoubtably provide far greater quality, however it also costs around 100 times more than the Jinhao 9019. Will the Mont Blanc provide 100 times better writing experience, personally I don't think so. I love the feeling of handwriting with a fountain pen using nice inks on good quality paper, it makes writing a real pleasure and encourages me to do more. I will still look around for other pens to try, particularly ones that offer good value for money. I find that if you do a lot of internet research there are a number of fairly low cost pens that provide good quality and an enjoyable writing experience, which for me is the most important thing. Addendum: Be aware that the Jinhao 9019 pens may take a while to start writing correctly, I initially thought two of mine were broken and was thinking of returning them. However I persevered, and soaked the nibs in water for a bit, and then started scribbling on a page for quite a while. Eventually both pens started writing with a good ink deposit and I breathed a sigh of relief!

I love fountain pens and have had Jinhaos x450, x750 and the monster 159s. I recently came across the 9019 and after watching many reviews I ordered one. Then two and now I have 5 (because why not?) The heartbeat nib if you can get one is just gorgeous! This pen is huge. But very light so doesn't cause hand fatigue after hours of writing (and I DO). The ink capacity is 2.5x ish that of a normal convertor and the feed is tunes to ensure good flow (you might have to faff a tiny bit with the nib alignment if it's running on the dry side). I've inked with with Noodlers, Diamine Shimmer. Pilot Iroshzuku and my beloved JH 1670 Emerald of Chivor. None of them have been problematic. The nibs are smooth and delicious (I ordered M). Rinse them through BEFORE first fill because they're clearly being tested and tuned at source (hooray!) You should see what it does on Tomoe (original) and Rhodia! 😍 Highly recommended. Audacity HQ Out!

It’s massive! It writes good, no leaks, you need a bottle of ink, the lid fits the base, but adds a good amount of heft to the writing experience. In fact your hand will ache after a few lines. But the lid is hard to lose because of the size. I don’t hate the pen, it does write good, which is the main thing, it’s not scratchy, I love the colour with the gold and that it’s transparent, I’m okay with how it fills with ink, but it’s BIG. UPDATE after 3-months of daily use. I LOVE this pen. I’ve given it an extra star. I had it at 3 stars before. I got used to the size and now appreciate the size, it sits well in the hand. The ‘heft’ works once you get used to it. Filling with ink this morning I had to acknowledge how well made it is where the lid, the barrel and the ink barrel all screw together. It has never leaked and it can ge filled with little to no mess. It’s a keeper. Might get another one just to have.

This is an outstanding one to add to my collection. The pen is well made and offers unbeatable value for money. It looks stunning and is made of a nice material. It comes in a nice range of colours. It offered a really good writing experience, it provides a good flow and does provide a nice wet line. The size of the pen makes it easy grip and write with for long periods of time. The provided converter offer and amazing ink capacity. My only concern is if the converter were to break, finding a replacement without getting new pen may well be difficult. Overall an outstanding additional to my pen collection.

I have been using this pen for a few weeks now, and I am very impressed with it. The pen is a stunning piece of craftsmanship, with a clear acrylic barrel that showcases the piston filling mechanism and the ink color. The pen has a golden clip and trim that contrast nicely with the transparent body. The pen is quite large and hefty, but it feels well-balanced and comfortable in the hand.The pen has a smooth and fine nib that writes with a consistent and wet line which is surprising for an EF nib. The nib is not flexible, ,so no line variation. The pen has a large ink capacity as the cartridge converter is big. Overall, I think this is a beautiful and unique pen that writes very well and has a high ink capacity. It is a great pen for fountain pen enthusiasts who like piston fillers, demonstrators, or large pens. It is one of my favourite pens in my collection

Great value, large nib fountain pen from China. Looks and feels a bit cheap, which it is, but, has a very large ink capacity converter and writes surprisingly well. This is a good everyday pen and at this price well worth adding to the pen collection. Recommended.

The pen unfortunately didn't write. Requested a refund.

Pióro ok, ale stalówka wadliwa, źle pisze kreskę w lewo i w górę.

Very broad pen, with a large nib. Smooth writing with a nice flow. The converter rattles a little but it has no effect on performances. Overall a great pen. Could be too large if you have small hands.

très beau stylo, je l'ai pris en EF, l'épaisseur du trait est fine et c'est parfait pour écrire au quotidien. Le débit d'encre est très bien maitrisé. je suis impressionné

A very large pen but with excellent quality - gone are the days cheaper pens would have terrible finishes or scratchy plastic. This feels like it's a 100 USD pen. It writes well, if a bit scratchy as the extra fine, but that's a matter of taste, cf the feeling of Sailor and Pilot nibs. Feels good in the hand, writes well, looks nice. A solid purchase.
