JINHAO 159 Fountain Pen M Nib (White)

This is a Jin Hao 159 that is a replica of a Mont Blanc. Feel as you may about it blatantly stealing a design. I personally don't really have an issue with that, as it's not trying to be a direct competitor to the original.It's not a bad pen, but it's not an outstanding pen either. If this pen were to get a report card grade for its existence, it would get a solid C.Its size, including weight and length are nice. However, the plastic seems cheap as does the metallic bits on it. Nobody that is into fine fountain pens will mistake this for an expensive pen. Hell, nobody that is into higher end objects, and has a discerning eye for quality, will mistake this for a high quality item. If Wal Mart were to have its own pen line, this would be its flagship.It comes with a converter, which works smoothly and, well, it's a converter. They're hard to get wrong. It sucks up the typical amount of ink and it doesn't leak.It comes with a medium nib that's stiff and writes smooth enough to not really impress you by itself. It does amaze you that the whole pen is that cheap and the nib writes that well. If you have some micromesh or mylar, it'll improve the nib quite a bit. Be careful and avoid dropping the pen. I dropped the capped pen a couple of times and it actually misaligned the tines. I have never seen that happen, and logic says it shouldn't happen, as the pen was capped, but it did happen. I discovered it under my microscope after I tried writing with it and I noticed the distinct misalignment scratch. Odd. I want to be clear that it's not the pen's fault that I dropped it. But keep in mind that it's not a pen that would do well on the move. Keep it as a desk pen and not a shirt pocket pen. Not that it's that light anyway.So what's the conclusion to this pen, should you get it? Yeah, if you're into fountain pens, get it. If you're curious about the Mont Blanc and don't want to spend close to a grand to feel one up and you don't want to take a trip to your local Mont Blanc boutique, try it out. If you're curious about how well a cheap Made in China fountain pen replica can be, get it.If you want to give it as a gift, don't get it. It's simply not gift material. It is curiosity material for fountain pen enthusiasts. If you want a good entry level gift pen, stick to the Pilot Metropolitan and Lamy Safari. They're much better and they have a very good potential of turning a non-fountain pen user into an enthusiast. This pen, due to its build quality, materials, and writing performance does not, even though it is NOT a bad pen. You just have to already be into fountain pens already.I have two in different finishes and the overall quality is the same.

Years ago I bought a Mont Blanc 146 because the 149 was too big for my taste. However, my tastes have changed and I love the Jinhao 159, which is the same size as the MB 149. This pen, the Jinhao 159, writes smoothly with just a little feedback. It is a metal pen and seems to be pretty well made, especially for the price.The pen is chunky in terms of girth so I suggest taking that in consideration for example for carrying in a shirt pocket. It can certainly be done, but if you're used to carrying a cheap Paper-Mate ballpoint in your shirt pocket this Jinhao 159 will be a change!So far, I love the Jinhao 159 and I highly recommend it, especially at this price.

I purchased this pen when I was new to fountain pens. Wanted to go cheaper until I knew what to expect. What a great pen this turned out to be! I love the weight and shape of this pen. Its very sturdy. I have noticed that some of the paint is starting to chip, but for the price, I cant complain about that. It's a very wet writer which means that shimmering and sheening inks work great in it. Fountain pens arent really good on regular office and copy paper.Because this pen writes so wet, you will have bleed through and feathering if you try to us it on regular paper. Id recommend at least a 90gsm with this one. Overall it's a great pen to introduce you to the world of Fountain pens.

I have a few Jinhao pens now, and they all look nice. But the fit and finish isnt all that good, and they dont really lay down ink well. But they do lay down ink. They honestly remind me of those cheap decorated knives you can get at flea markets. They look nice when you look at them, and they work well when put in a display. but actually using them makes you think "Theres something better" on this particular pen, I love it. It's a wonderful fit for my hands and the nib is nice. But as It suffers the quality issues I mentioned with Jinhao. The srew on/off cap is rough, theres some pitting in the threads, and I had white flakes all over my shirt after holding it. But this pen really Makes me want to save my money to actually purchase a mont blanc 149 one day.So, I've been using this pen over the others I have, and i have to say that its easily become my favorite pen, only seconded by the Muji. While I'm not certain of the 159 last me longer than a few years, for the price this pen is an amazing purchase.

Super big, the cap screws on with only one and a half turns which is soooooo nice, the nibs are shockingly smooth, the pen is comfy in the hand and I love the price. A truly great fountain pen. Not a Monblanc but also not hundreds or even thousands of dollars either. in fact.....I bet that their writability compares very well to the more prestigious makes. I am very pleased with them.

Saw this recommended on Reddit for those who want the joy of a Mont Blanc without the pain of a price tag so I bought this to see what the hype was and honestly? This pen is amazing. The first thing you’ll notice is the pens weight. It /feels/ like an expensive pen. I was honestly expecting it to feel very “plastic” and cheap, but it’s very hefty and feels fantastic when writing with it. Very smooth and consistent writing, can’t recommend enough!!

Estoy en el mundo de los bolígrafos estilográfucos. En los foros de opinión siempre mencionan el bolígrafo jinhao 159. Que es un modelo muy similar al montblanc 149. Ambos bolígrafos los tengo. Cuando lo compre vi el precio de 8 dólares. Inmediatamente pensé mala calidad, pero fue todo lo contrario muy buena construcción, es un bolígrafo de metal por lo que es un poco pesado. Me gustó muchísimo. Nib número 6, para nada flexible de punta mediana. Me gusta mucho la fluidez con lo que escribe. Muy buen bolígrafo para empezar en este mundo de la estilografía. Recomendado

El clip se siente algo frágil y la pluma esta pintada de blanco. Probablemente la pintura termine desprendiéndose.Es de las plumas grandes mas accesibles que hay. Y la experiencia de escritura es buena. La tinta fluye bien, quizás demasiado en algunos papeles. En general pinta grueso.La compraría de nuevo.
