First, they're both awesome. I'm a bit partial to the titanium, just because of the texture, and I'm partial to the color and the way the light glints off titanium. I believe it is much less slippery than the brass, and it feels great in the hand. I've seen a couple of reviews on YouTube say the posted titanium was longer and slightly more back-heavy than the brass. It's possible the difference others observed is variation in the manufacture of the pens, but I'm not getting that in my units. Posted, the lengths are identical to my eye, with basically the same balance. I find the weight of the titanium to be perfect. I like a feeling the weight of the pen in my hand a bit, and this strikes the balance between nimble and that "heavy quality" feeling. Capped, the titanium is about a 1 or 1.5 millimeters longer. As other reviews have stated, the titanium does not have the plastic inside of the cap for softer posting. I prefer that myself, but does clink a bit, and I can see a ring starting wear in to the barrel on the titanium where the cap grasps the barrel. Again, I kind of like the raw metal pen developing some character, so I don't mind. The one drawback of the lack of a plastic liner is that it's possible to wiggle the cap back and forth a touch while posted. It posts firmly, but, the idea that there's a bit of play to it kind of bothers me. I purchased with a medium nib, but quickly swapped out for an EF. The medium writes extremely broad on these pens, and EF is perfect for me. It flows well, and I have had no issues with dry-out using my favorite ink: Sailor Souboku. For utility, the clip on the pen is great! I understand they've made some improvements relative to the brass and AL versions, including a pin with a larger diameter. I will say, that little off-center spring in there feels like the weak point, and seems like it will fail eventually. Honestly, this is a legendary pen, though. It's a bit of a premium pen compared to the AL, or even brass version - but still at a price that I don't feel like I need to baby it. Review: For the Money - You Can't Do Much Better - I love this pen in general (the M2), but the Titanium version gets 5+ stars because, unlike the others, this little guy has some weight (heft) to it that makes it feel much more substantial in the hands. The M nib writes close to a Bold, but I do really like it. I wish the converter held more ink, but for a pen this small, it would literally be impossible to have a larger converter, so I cannot ding the product for that. If you are looking for a pocket-size fountain pen, you can't do much better than this for the price. My ONLY concern is that the pen is only about 1/4 turn to screw/unscrew the cap, and I have some concerns about putting it in my shirt pocket because it comes loose easily. Otherwise, the clip is high-quality and springy, and I love the way this pen writes. ## Features - Solid and Durable Writer - Designed as a mini pen with a 10.5cm / 4.13 inches length, Aluminium Metal construction, comfortable grip section and only 12g / 0.42 oz capped weight for your consistent writing. It also adopts an anodizing process for coloring for long-term use and to avoid paint peeling. - Unique Design - The classic streamlined sleek design adds a elegant sense to your daily routine. The sturdy mechanical spring-loaded clip helps you attach the pen to a notebook, uniform pocket or anywhere. - Easy Flow and Write Smoothly - Equipped with a titanium-black medium soft nib, redesigned feed and comfortable grip section, it writes like silk, smoothly, constantly and utterly non-scratchy. It also features a delicate Chinese knot carving on the nib, which symbolizes happiness, reunion, and good luck. - Converter Included - The pen is equipped with a converter for instant access to bottled ink.

You can purchase the original Hongdian ink cartridges or bottled ink by searching β€œHongdian Ink” on desertcart. - Exquisite Craftsmanship - Each pen was manually assembled and individually trial-written test by a Hongdian craftsman for flawless quality before sending it out, and there may be a little ink residue on the nib. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CXTLP5K3 | | Additional Features | Writing Instrument | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #4,081 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #7 in Fountain Pens | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand | HONG DIAN | | Brand Name | HONG DIAN | | Closure Type | Screw Off Cap | | Color | Midnight Blue | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 581 Reviews | | Drill Point | Medium | | Grip Type | Soft | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Hardness | Soft | | Included Components | 1 x Fountain Pen, 1 x Converter (In the pen barrel), 1 x Metal Case | | Ink Base | Water | | Ink Color | No Ink Included | | Item Diameter | 13 Millimeters | | Line Size | 0.7 Millimeters | | Manufacturer | HONG DIAN | | Material | Aluminum | | Material Type | Aluminum | | Model Name | Hongdian M2 | | Model Number | Hongdian M2 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Travelling | | Style | Medium | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Writing Instrument Form | Fountain Pen | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** HONG DIAN - **Color:** Midnight Blue - **Ink Color:** No Ink Included - **Writing Instrument Form:** Fountain Pen ## Images ![M2 Black Forest Mini Fountain Pen, Medium Soft Nib & Sleek Shape Aluminium Short Pocket Travel Pen (Midnight Blue) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Q-hGacLpL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Might be my new favorite! *by J***E on April 18, 2026* My second M2, after the brass!

Otherwise, the clip is high-quality and springy, and I love the way this pen writes. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not what was advertised, but a nice enough pen just the same. *by H***E on October 28, 2024* I decided to give this pen a try despite not being familiar with the manufacturer, Hongdian, because it was listed as a pocket pen with a soft nib, and the price was right. I found mixed joy and disappointment in what I received. Pros: + This is a compact pen that posts nicely, comfortable both when pocketed and when in use. Its aluminum cap and barrel feel sturdy. + The matte finish is attractive. + At $20 with converter included, the pen is good value. + The pen takes international standard (short or long) cartridges, which makes it easy to refill whether you prefer cartridges or bottle ink. Cons: - This was advertised as a soft-nib pen, but it most certainly is not. "Soft" in terms of fountain pen nibs refers to a nib that flexes during use to provide variation in the width of the line put to paper and how fast ink flows onto the paper...but does so less than a "flex" nib. This is a very rigid steel nib (albeit a fairly smooth one). - This pen seems to come from China, so I assumed that listed nib sizes were Asian sizes similar to Namiki/Pilot, or Jinhao. What I received was more of a Western medium, similar to a Pelikan or Lamy nib. - The converter is very flimsy, and attaches a bit loosely. I expect to have to replace it before long. Overall... I like the pen. At just about $20, it compares reasonably well to my much more expensive Kaweco AL Sport. However, I found the description rather misleading. It should *not* be listed as a soft nib, and it should be specified that the nib sizing is Western. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hongdian M2 Black Forest Mini Fountain Pen, Medium Soft Nib & Sleek Shape Aluminium Short Pocket Travel Pen (Midnight Blue) - Asvine Hongdian Fountain Pen Bottled Ink Blue, 60ml Bottle Ink for Fountain Pen Non Carbon - Asvine 5 Pack Fountain Pen Ink Syringe Filler, Spring Converter with Removable Blunt Needle Tip --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/628454735-m2-black-forest-mini-fountain-pen-medium-soft-nib-sleek](https://www.desertcart.is/products/628454735-m2-black-forest-mini-fountain-pen-medium-soft-nib-sleek) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-06-24*
