HongDian Stainless Steel Fountain Pen Iridium Fine Point with Converter and Metal Pen Box

I purchased another, earlier incarnation of this pen in black; it was then sold under a different brand name, which has since disappeared. (But is, I believe, still available under the Hondian brand.) I liked it so much, and still use it regularly, and decided to get two more, in order to have extras and to have a choice of different inks available. This stainless steel version is every bit as wonderful as the first one. It is astonishing that such a fine, reliable, well-made pen is so inexpensive. I have not experienced any skipping or hard starts with any of these pens. Never. Not once. The nibs on all three of them are smooth and put down an attractive line. This is a modest, plain, un-ostentatious pen, suitable for use anywhere, anytime. That's exactly what I was hoping for when I decided to try these out, and they all delivered beyond my expectations. Higly recommend!

Dommage qu'une belle stylo dans une belle boite ne fonctionne pas de tout. Le petit ressort dans le reservoir s'est détaché. S'il y a quelque chose à faire pour le mettre en marche, il n y a pas un livret pour l'expliquer.Très, très embêtant.

Looks nice, has a nice weight to it, performs well, and seems well constructed . I've been using it for a few months now and have pretty much no complaints. It can put out a fair bit of ink if you have some firmness and write slow, but that's with most all fountain pens. The ink cartridge can be a pain to install, but that might also be due to the ink provider I am using and not the pen itself. I would certainly buy this again.

Leider hatte diese Bestellung länger gedauert als erwartet. Da dies mein zweiter Füllfederhalter von HongDian war, war ich sehr auf diesen Füller gespannt. Aber für das lange warten wurde ich durch einen sehr schönen Füllfederhalter in Edelstahl und meiner subjektiven Meinung sehr schönen Haptik belohnt. Mit dieser dünnen Iridium Spitze lässt sich gut schreiben. Das Schriftbild ist für mich ohne Makel. Dieser Füller kann sich durchaus mit der Konkurenz messen. Ein Patronenkonverter zum Tinte auffüllen ist standarmäßig dabei, was man leider bei den Markenhersteller vermisst und zusätzlich erworben werden muss. Geliefert wird der Füller in einer ansprechenden chromfarbenen Metallbox. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist hervorragend und von meiner Seite eine klare Kaufempfehlung.

Pen is heavy but well balanced, I was looking at Parker pens but remembered how the plastic casing on bottom half of pen would snap and the reviews for those pens weren't great.This pen was a little more expensive but worth it. It's a well made fully metal pen and writes well.I bought the fine nib which is more like medium, which is what I wanted anyway. The little tin case to keep it in was nice as well.
