HONG DIAN N11 Fountain Pen, Titanium-Coated Black Fine Soft Nib, Peacock Blue & Lozenge Geometric Design with Metal Case Set

Packaging & Accessories: 8/10 The pen comes in an oval metal box. I have another Hongdian fountain pen (N12) and the packaging is the same. The pen came in a plastic envelope. Aesthetics & Quality (10/10) The pen comes with different patterns and I chose the more elaborated one, which is sort of a swirling rhombus pattern. There is also an octagonal version and a twirl version: the difference between the different patters is $1 difference. I also picked the blue version, which is more of a blue tending to green (sort of a dark turquoise). All in all very nice. The pen is a metal pen which comes with a Hongdian converter. There is no way of checking ink level if not unscrewing the pen. The converter is nicely done and doe not feel cheap: it has a metal reinforced nipple (nice touch!), there is a little plastic ball in the converter to ensure good ink flow and the converter can be taken apart for maintenance and cleaning (this is another nice feature). The pen, part for the particular pattern on the body, does not have a lot of other aesthetic features. The cap has a ruthenium-type (titanium?) medallion with no stamping. Same applies to the bottom medallion. The band at the end of the cap has some nice texture (same coloring of the top and bottom medallion) with “Hongdian” stamped in front and “N11” in the back: it is nicely done. The cap unscrews with a little less than one rotation, which makes the pen very usable for taking notes on the fly. The section is metal with three circle etched into it which makes the section very usable. The section appears to be comfortable and not slippery. The section has an O-ring at the end of the internal threads to avoid unvoluntary unscrewing of the pen. This shows great care in the design of this pen. The threads of the body are non-intrusive and very smooth. I didn’t try posting as I don’t want to ruin the pen and I usually don’t post my pens but I suppose you could post (at your own risk). Weight and Dimensions: 9/10 I didn’t wait the pen, but overall it is not as heavy as one could expect. Probably the body and cap are aluminum. It is a very comfortable writer and I am surprised how much I like writing with it. Nib & Performance: 910 The nib is a #6 and it has the same ruthenium like finish with what it seems like a flower stamped on it and Hongdian, “F”. The feed is black plastic and the nib unit can be unscrewed for replacement and maintenance. Replacement are available, and you can probably use JOWO or Bock replacement nibs if you would like. Nonetheless the nib performs well: it is smooth and a little springy (but don’t expect line variations as it is pretty stiff). Cost & Value: 10/10 I am amazed at quality of Hongdian pens. It shows that the pen was carefully designed and manufactured with a keen eye to ensure performance. For $28, this is definitely a great value. Conclusion: (46/50 –92%) You may not like metal pens, but I would say give the N11 a chance. The pen amazes for the quality of the finishes and for the care taken in the design and its execution, which surpasses pens made by more blazoned manufacturer.

Her şekilde farklı, ucu harika. Düşünmeden bu marka alınabilir

Der Füller wirkt hochwertig und erlaubt ein schönes Schriftbild. Ein Stern Abzug dafür, dass er leider keine Standardpatronen verwenden kann.
