JINHAO X750 Fountain Pen M Nib (Steel Body)

I consider myself an amateur user in the world of fountain pens, however I can say that this Jinhao X750 fountain pen is a true tool for writing, as its performance in general has surprised me a lotAt the beginning of the writing you can notice how it slides along the surface of the sheet of paper, the nib is size M which can be seen immediately since the color and texture of the ink is obvious, you can clearly perceive how each stroke in the paper becomes a strong and thick letter it does not have the particularity of being a flexible nib but you can apply a little more pressure and you will notice more marked lines, one thing that I did not like at all was the fact that with the use of constant writing, the nib stops having good capillarity and you get the strange feeling that the pen has run out of ink, which makes me think that perhaps it needs to be washed so that the feeder has more fluidity.The weight of the Jinhao X750 is excellent because it provides good balance, at least that is how I have perceived it in these few writing sessions, in general terms the design could say without fear of being wrong that it is an example of doing things well (they do not have to be expensive to have a good design and an excellent quality price) because in my eyes it is almost identical to a Montblanc Meisterstück 149 (only in terms of design because the German is in another category level)The Jinhao pen is inspired by the same classic cigar - shaped design , from the German MB 149 , the ring around the fountain pen has the Jinhao inscription ( another resemblance to the Montblanc ) , it is silver in color as is the clip , it is they look very ostentatious it gives the appearance of having a much more expensive piece than it really is, the construction is made of a material similar to resin again an achievement well carried out by an Asian fountain pen because the quality is undeniable for its ridiculous price ($8.98 bucks seriously.....)The protagonist is the nib because it behaves fabulously on different surfaces because you receive a feedback experience when writing, you realize without a doubt that the application is firm and you only have to let your hand fly to continue writing, the design is again very similar to what that you commonly find in classic German fountain pens, I mean that it has a good construction, the nib is wide and seems resistant, the laminate is perfectly well carried out for its price andIn summary, it is the best fountain pen that I have had the opportunity to try in terms of quality and price.It's amazing performance will definitely make it my daily fountain pen.It is certainly a fountain pen that I fully recommend.Note :The review is based on my experiences as a beginner, I do not pretend to have a vast knowledge of the calligraphic subject nor am I someone who has enough experience to give a more detailed and serious opinion on the fascinating world of writing.To that end there are thousands of reviews that you can see in countless places where you will get perspective on the subject.Thank you

Has become my favorite pen

**update 1 week laterThis is hands down the best fountain pen I own. It's better than my Lamy Safari, better than my pilot, and for $8 I can't believe how good it is. I plan to buy several more. My most expensive fountain pen is only a $60 Retro 1951 Tornado, so maybe at those really steep price points of $100-$300 you start to notice an enhanced writing experience IDK, but for sure this thing keeps up with anything I've tried.***1st impression: WOW2nd impression: WTF!?3rd impression: mmm ok1st it feels like a $50 pen. I paid 2x as much for a kaweco sport and was deeply disappointed in that pen. I expected the metal clip to feel cheap and possibly to be made of some sort of plastic, nope it is steel and feels great.2nd: My cap was really crammed in there. I thought it was a twist, but then the barrel came out, it's a pull, but it is too tight. Once I got it opened up I went to fill it. For some reason it would not drink through it's fill hole. I thought perhaps the converter was not seated but it wouldn't go down further so IDK! I sucked ink up and pushed some back down until it dripped out and made a mess but it seems to write ok after that.3rd: The nib is fine and I'm not a fountain pen expert but the black plastic fins on the back of the nib are a little flimsy. The part that touches behind the nib was a little loppy but I pushed it into place and seems OK now.Overall for $8 I'm satisfied and beyond. I will buy more Jinhaos. I love cheap chinese made products that are made for the Chinese market. I have a pair of sneakers I ordered from a chinese app that cost $16 amd have outlasted many pairs of onitsuka tigers, which are 3-4x the price. I feel confident this pen will last many many years.

Don't let the price fool you. This pen can go head to head with any "beginner" fountain pen out there, and many "next level" pens as well. If you are considering a TWSBI Eco or a Pilot Metropolitan (both fantastic choices) but you like the lower price point of this pen, give it a try! I have the medium nib version and it writes super smooth and consistently. I have used premium inks and budget inks in this pen and they all perform well. I really like the heft of the all metal body which most beginner pens don't have. I also like the click-on cap which I prefer over a twist-on. The cap will post on the pen while writing, although it isn't a super snug fit and makes the pen top-heavy. I prefer writing without the cap posted.Getting a piston-filled fountain pen with a great nib at less than $10 is insane. I'll admit, I am not wild about the country of manufacture of this pen and its record on labor conditions. The price of this pen probably says something about how much was paid to laborers to manufacture it. This pen was so good I purchased many of them to have different pens with different ink colors. I don't think I will buy more, though, because of the labor concerns. Unfortunately, it will cost three times as much to get a pen that performs as well.Lastly, I purchased other pens from this company (Jinhao) that have gold trim and silver/gold nibs. They did not perform nearly as well. They were also medium nibs, but wrote like broad nibs, with ink just pouring off the nib leaving text looking like it was written with a magic marker. If you are considering the gold trimmed options, at least in medium, I would say strong pass.

Very sharp looking pen that goes with anything. Doesn't leak, but has a problem with ink flow. I've tried working with several different inks but either the ink is drying out or the flow isn't working. When it does write, it's a very pleasant experience, but it needs a fair amount of attention to get going.
