JINHAO X750 Fountain Pen M Nib (Bright Black)

The pen is beautiful and extremely well made.Whether it suits you is clearly a personal thing. For me the size, weight and balance are spot on.As with all smooth barrels, posting (putting the lid on the back of the barrel for writing) firmly (so it does not start to work loose as you write) but not too firmly (as it can create pressure that then springs back) is something that needs to be mastered.The pen is also great for me for writing with unposted.This pen came with a converter.Jinhao, you are brand! You are a brand that makes better pens than the other brands! You probably make many of the brands’ pens too! You are a brand that charges less for your superb pens than other brands charge for the converter they do not supply their pens with!

This writes well and is reasonably well balanced in the hand. It's got a metal body and feels more substantial than plastic equivalents, which tend to be more expensive.For the money you simply can't beat this.

My first Chinese pen and what great value it is! Well made, with the look and feel of a much more expensive pen. Had it several months now and it just works! The real bonus it is that it comes with a converter, so you have the option to use bottled ink.I bought a LAMY Al- star recently from a local shop, which didn't come with a convertor. I ended up paying an extra 7.50 euro, so the pen came to around 35 euro. I love the LAMY and it's obviously a Western made pen with different characteristics, design and quality control.But the Jinhao X750 pen cost me about about 3 euros more than the LAMY convertor and performs just as well! These pens are well worth the cost, and the brand is well known in China for producing good value fountain pens. Can't say how the pen or convertor will last but it's seems pretty solid to me.I've since bought a couple more Jinhao pens off Ali- Express but different models.

I have a dozen Jinhao X750 pens (for coloured inks or with modified nibs) and all write excellently.The heavy and fairly thick body (and cap) is 'lacquered' brass. The snap-on cap can be posted on the barrel for additional balance if needed. Only one of my pens has a slightly sloppy fitting cap, but is is not a deal-breaker.The Jinhao X750 medium nib is slightly finer than European nibs, but it has some character to the stroke. Ink flow is normally slightly wet and there are hardly any instances of dry starts. None on my pens have displayed any tendency to skip.These pens normally write very well (after an initial flush with soapy water) but can be improved with a slight polish using ultra fine grade emery paper. It's also easy to re-profile the nibs to a different stye, e.g. italic. The supplied converter needs to be washed before use.There are complaints about the Jinhao X750 that invariably come from people who really don't know what using a fountain pen involves - there's plenty of advice online, so the one-star moaners should generally be ignored. Some of them clearly don't even know how to hold a pen so that the nib sits fully on the paper - that is what ballpoint/gel pens have done to our handwriting! Reviews such as "doesn't write" are from people who should stick to ballpoints and crayons.The Jinhao X750 is a solid workhorse - few frills but solid performance. The silly low prices make it hard to sustain any complaints about them. The pens are satisfying to use and at the price having a couple is much easier than changing ink colour.Finally for those muppets who expect a pen to come in a 'free' luxury box that appears to be worth as much as the pen - get real, you are paying for it and it has very little use except for the bragging rights. Jinhao pens come in a cellophane/plastic sleeve that you pay £0.001 for: the pen is genuinely worth whatever you pay for it.If you get the one in a thousand pens that really doesn't work well the sellers will invariably fix matters for you. However, you are unlikely to experience a dud however, especially if you learn a bit about fountain pens.Recommended? Yes 200%

Ink is not provided, which is quite disappointing as I had to place a new order just for that

After looking for an inexpensive, but reasonable quality fountain pen for hours on YouTube, this was the pen I ended up with due to its consistently strong reviews. I have to say, though my experience is limited, this is a lovely pen to write with. It looks nice, feels weighty and writes smoothly without a hint of scratchiness on the paper. Overall I'm really pleased with it. It looks much nicer than it's price might lead you to think.A couple of things to note, the checkered pattern is not as 'soft' as the one advertised, as you can see in my picture. Secondly, if you like to use the pen with the lid on or "posted", this pen is a little fiddly as the cap doesn't really stay snugly on the end. Personally I prefer to write with it off, so it doesn't bother me but if you do, you will have to push the lid a little tighter onto the rear of the pen and I'm not sure if that will scratch it up or not.

Wanted to buy a fountain pen with a convertor to try sketching with. Read lots of reviews of good brands and cheaper brands, but decided in the end to order the Jinhao x750 due to great reviews and really good price. If it turned out to be not a great pen or I didn’t like fountain pen sketching, then I haven’t formed out a lot of money.It arrived the next day, and upon opening the package I was really pleasantly surprised, the lovely ivory white pen feels really good quality and like the feel and weight. The cap clicks on positively, convertor fitted inside. I flushed it through with plain water, then filled with bottled ink. Manuscript bottled fountain pen ink in sepia.The pen writes really smoothly and gives a good, what I would call a medium line.Looks great in the sepia brown colour.Really pleased with my purchase and I’m definitely going to order other Jinhao pens to try and definitely another x750 in another colour.
