Questions & Answers
It's unclear whether it's made of real celluloid. If not, it'll be a very good plastic. For the price, this is a fantastic pen; I highly recommend it.
It is compatible with the Jinhao 450 bent nib. In this variation, we've included a bent nib for calligraphy.
It's not cheap plastic; rather, it resembles acrylic.
As the proud owner of several Jinhao 100 Centennial fountain pens, I can attest that they are manufactured in mainland China (rather than Taiwan, which is home to some excellent pen manufacturers such as Twisbi, Penlux, Laban, and others). The 100 pens made by Jinhao are among the best on mainland China. This Jinhao model in particular has my undying admiration.
Selected User Reviews For Jinhao 100 Classic Fountain Pen Amble Celluloid, Medium Nib with Converter and Pen Case Set
This Jinhao's homage to its vintage doppelgänger isn't for naught. The celluloid is genuine (as evidenced by the odor inside the barrel) and makes for a light, girth-enhancing experience. i have written before This pen fits comfortably between my thumb and fingers, even though I have large(r) hands. It is not a problem to write for long periods of time. However, because of the awkward length and imbalance that posting creates, I don't post pens and won't recommend posting this pen. br>br>This nib is juicy and wet on Rodia grid paper. as well as Diamine Ancient Copper- It was a delectable writing experience. It's a good product. tuned- There were no skips, no dry starts, and the overall presentation was excellent. The clip, insert, and center band on the cap, as well as the trim rings on both ends of the grip section and one on the finial, are all plated in 18KGP (not 18K gold). Screwing and unscrewing this pen requires three and a half turns. The clip has a slight bend to it and glides easily across book pages or into pockets. The Jinhao logo in three different forms- a ferocious steed two charioteers and a drawn chariot- atop the cap finial, below the nib's breather hole, and on the top edge of the clip give it a unique and stylized look. I'm not sure why the metal insert in the cap finial was finished in pewter rather than gold like the rest of the finial; Maybe another reviewer will shed some light on the situation. br>br>This is a no-brainer if you like the Duofold orange/red married to black, especially at this price point. Lanxivi and Jinhao are, in my opinion, excellent candidates. well-known household names, and treat them with the respect they deserve! It gets two thumbs up!.
There will be more to come. The Jinhao 100 is a knockoff version of the Jinhao 100. off the Conklin Duragraph, which is roughly twice as expensive. Or more. Are the Jinhaos superior to the Conklins? br>br>Are the Jinhaos superior to the Conklins? The short answer is: No, but you can *improve* them by changing the nibs. That's exactly what I'm capable of. (However, this will set you back an additional $14. ) )br>br>The Jinhao 100, which has a jade-like appearance and-black cracked ice, or whatever it is that you want to call it: The red-haired gentleman looks good in the picture, and he looks even better in person. Not so much in the case of orange. It appears to be an antique in the photographs. Parker School - Orange with a double fold. In person, it isn't as lovely as that. It has a more earthy tone to it. br>br>There's one more thing to keep in mind. If you're used to flooding your nibs before starting to write (which I almost always do) (i. e. You have to be much more careful with a Jinhao 100 than you would with any other pen I've ever dealt with (get the back end of the pen off and gently adjust the converter so the nib is "primed" with ink), and you have to be much more careful than you would with any other pen I've ever dealt with (get the back end of the pen off and gently adjust the converter so the nib is "primed" with ink). br>br>What usually happens is that you gently twist the converter thing, and then your other hand becomes wet with ink and runs down the side of the pen. This is something I must learn. But whatever. br>br> Is it for financial gain? Easily a five-star rating. This *shape* (particularly the grip section) is exactly what a lot of people desire without even realizing it.
Centennial) - This year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the United This is a nice pen that came in a timely manner. It's a large pen, similar in length to the Jinhao 159, but it's much lighter, with a smaller section that seems to fit my grip better than the 159. I chose the red color, which is a little orange in my opinion, but it is a nice color that could be used for business. The pen's material is comfortable to hold, and the gold accents complement the color scheme. In terms of fit and finish, the pen I received is of excellent quality. In just under three full rotations, the cap comes off. The threads are of excellent quality and fineness. It has a two-tiered design that is very appealing. The Jinhao chariot is on a tone M nib. It appears to be a 6 nib or a nib that is similar to a 6 nib. I used Mont Blanc Blue Black ink and it wrote flawlessly and smoothly without needing to adjust the nib. Even though it is rated as a Medium, the pen creates a line that is more like a Fine, which I prefer. A Jinhao converter was included in the package. Overall, I like this pen a lot, and I think it's a good value at around $21.
The Jinhao Classic has the same look and feel as the Parker Duofold, but at a much lower cost. The M nib is silky smooth, and the feed is thick and juicy. I see I'm not the only one who has paired the pen with Diamond Ancient Copper in their reviews. On Tomoe River paper, the Jinhao does an excellent job of displaying the shading of this ink. Because this is a wet writer, have a blotter on hand or be prepared to wait for the page to dry. br>br>The pen is light and comfortable to use. I agree with the reviewer who mentioned the finial medallion, as it does seem out of place on the pen, but not to the point of being distracting. br>br>To summarize, the Jinhao Classic is an attractive, comfortable, and solid writer, and a good value at this price.
Clearly, this is a rip-off of the well-known This is a large pen in the hand, but the celluloid construction keeps it from becoming too heavy, which contributes to the good balance you feel when writing with it. It has a screw cap, which I always think adds interest and class to a fountain pen – a nice nod to the pen's vintage heritage. The gold-plated nib is absolutely stunning, and it has a very smooth, wet flow. This is an excellent writer who will undoubtedly find his way into my pocket on a regular basis. For the price, I strongly suggest this book.
I'm not sure what pen they're reviewing, but this Jinhao with a 'fine' nib isn't gold plated, and it isn't depicted that way in the listing (perhaps it has changed recently?). )br>br>That said, Jinhao has done an outstanding job of producing a high-quality Duofold lookalike that writes smoothly and feels great in the hand. br>br>I've included photos comparing it to my Parker, and I'm confident that pen experts will be able to tell the difference. When it comes to providing a true 'Fine' nib line weight, I believe Jinhao is eating Parker's lunch. I'm not sure about you, but writing with my Parker's 'Fine' is like writing with a Sharpie - AND THE PAPER IS SOAKED. This pen, on the other hand, is a model citizen who punches well above its weight class. br>br>Worth every penny.
