JINHAO X750 Fountain Pen M Nib (Luxury Gold Powder Paint)

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%

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.

I initially opted to purchase this in pen line with buying a new ink.I must be honest I was not expecting much for the price point and opted to purchase the pen as an experience to be able to try and dial in the nib. After the first day with this pen, I feel it has made me reconsider what makes a great pen.I feel the weight and size is very good as I love a slightly larger pen and it feels pronounced in the hand. I feel if you post the pen it can be very slightly unbalanced however I can live with that for the price point.I also have to say I am truly stunned by the nib quality writes very wet and keeps up with my pace and style of writing..... which is more than I can say for some of my other way more expensive pens.... it is not fussy at all with hand direction and movement which I must say I now love.Originally purchased as a cheap test pen and instead now is in daily rotation.

I bought two, the ivory white and the silver because I have a few inks and wanted to expand my pen collection. Money being a little tight at the moment I opted for these. The liner of the cap on the ivory white does not fit so has to be pulled off the nib after uncapping whilst the converter in the silver pen falls off the nib. I now have a mix 'n match pen with an ivory body, silver cap and a scratchy nib that writes badly. I'm sticking to Parker, Faber Castell and Cross. Maybe I was unlucky because both pens were nicely finished, comfortable in the hand and looked smart but overall I am not impressed.

For less than £8, this is a serviceable pen. Weighty, good looking with burgundy/rose colours, wrote smoothly straight out of the wrapper, no leaks, comfortable, click fastening.The downside is the poor quality threading of the barrel: it's very slack and coarsely cut, but it does nip up securely at the final turn, so it'll do at the price.The only other irritation is the thoroughly wasteful and nonsense unpadded 35cm x 25cm cardboard packet to post it, when a small jiffy bag would have sufficed. At least I can compost the cardboard.
