JINHAO X450

I have several Jinhao pens now and I think there is a luck iff the draw aspect to them sometimes, but have to say I haven't had an issue with any of the ones I have. This is honestly a beautiful pen, it has weight to it and feels far more premium. It's a good size and is easy to hold and write with. The nib is smooth and writes really nicely with good flow, although I will note both the ink and paper being used make a difference with any fountain pen. I really like this one and am using it regularly and have had no issues with the pen itself or leaking ink. I can only review as tried and would buy this again for sure.

For the price, this is a lovely pen. Writes smoothly and feels good in the hand. It has a nice weight to it and is comfortable to hold. Because of the price point, the final finish of the pen is a bit lacking. You can notice the edges between the pen body and the metal bands. There is a distinct edge. Had there been a smooth feeling along all of the body where there are bands then this pen would have been great. Would highly recommend it for the price.

Having used a fountain pen regularly since primary school, I do believe that I'm qualified to pass an opinion and I'm really impressed with the quality of this pen. There's an old adage 'If it looks to be too good to be true then it probably is' but this pen not only looks good but performs well too. Just look at the price and compare it with a Cross Townsend black lacquer fountain pen... Having used Sheaffer, Cross and Parker fountain pens in the past, I know that you're not always guaranteed to get a perfect nib but I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was no scratchiness with this pen's nib unit and the ink flow is really good from a standard universal cartridge - and you can buy a pack of universal cartridges from any stationers. I'm using Helix Oxford cartridges at the moment which you can buy through Amazon and they are reasonably priced. This fountain pen is extraordinarily good value and I'd have no hesitation in recommending it to a prospective buyer.

I'm personally very pleased with this fountain pen. It doesn't leak, the nib writes smoothly. The nibs not scratchy. It's a beautiful and very comfortable weight fountain pen to hold. Good finish, too. Very good value for the price. Placing the pen top on the end when using it, it sometimes falls of very easy. I remember reading about this in previous comments, posted. I'm not bothered about it. I would Highly Recommend The Fountain Pen and the Seller.

I'd read reviews of the Jinhai X450 pens on various sites and Youtube where the pen was praised for being a great "beginner" fountain pen. I ordered this because it looked nice in the photo, but wondered if it would be "cheap" in appearance, feel and use. I am blown away by this pen. It writes like butter - so much smoother than the disposable fountain pens I've been using. The construction is beautiful. Although the materials used to make this must be cheap given the price of the pen, it doesn't feel cheap. Some people have remarked in other reviews that the pen is heavy. It is substantial and feels like it is made from a good quality metal. I like that. If you don't like a heavy pen, this is probably not for you. If you do then I can recommend this pen. It is a bargain. I love it.

This is a heavy ink pen but feels nice. The nib is fine but ink flows well enough. I prefer a wider nib myself but it's okay. Colours available are great, I wish I could justify buying another. It's a nice starter pen and well priced.

This is the second of these fountain pens that I have purchased . This cost £6.99, an absolute steal because it feels like it should cost £100 more. It is perfectly weighted, writes smoothly and with the gold plated nib and the beautiful pattern it never fails to draw positive comments. It came the very next day, wrapped in bubble wrap and enclosed in a thick cardboard envelope - no presentation box but for the price I can overlook that; the pen is for my personal use anyway. Highly recommended.

arrived promptly, as described, writes smoothly right from the start. a comfortable weight with or without the lid on the back of the pen. the only objection I might mention is the slight tendency to splatter ink if uncapped too roughly immediately after refilling, but that can easily be avoided with some caution removing the lid. Speaking of the lid, it clicks on firmly and stays on, even jostled in a pencil case, pocket, or the bottom of a bag, which is a real problem with my favourite pen. if I had been given this pen as a gift I would guess it cost more than twice what I paid for it. absolutely excellent.

super Schreibgefühl, die Feder gleitet nur so über das Papier, ich schreibe richtig gern damit, kein hakeln, kein Kratzen

Caneta robusta e pesada com várias posições de escrita. Após utilizar deve ser guardada com a ponta para baixo sob pena de secar. Excelente relação qualidade/preço.

Es una pluma estilográfica que escribe muuuy bien, evidentemente no tiene un gran tacto a la hora de escribir comparada con otras plumas ‘caras’, pero es de las mejores plumas que tengo y relación calidad precio es insuperable. No dudaría comprar otra o recomendarla.

Stylo plume très classe, ça ne fait pas toc du tout, j'ai pris une pointe M qui fonctionne super bien. Attention au choix de l'encre: j'avais commandé des cartouches de la même marque dont l'encre s'écoulait mal sur du papier un peu glacé (des copies doubles de grande marque), alors que sur du papier un peu plus absorbant pour imprimante c'était nickel. Je pensais que le stylo était en cause, mais en fait non: il fonctionne super bien sur tout papier pour peu qu'on l'alimente avec une encre ou des cartouches de bonne qualité (j'ai testé Watermann, Herbin, Montblanc, aucun problème).

Ottima e scrive benissimo
