Best Chinese Fountain Pen: Top 10 Picks

The first is the appearance. This Jinhao X450 fountain pen uses a marble pattern, which gives people a rather stunning feeling.

Then there is its barrel, which is indeed made of metal. At this price, it can be said to be quite good.

Lastly is the nib. In addition to carvings with unique Chinese zigzag patterns, there is also a copper carriage. And the two sides of the nib are also symmetrical, not one side is big and the other is small.

The nib's iridium grains are larger at the back and relatively sharp at the front.

When writing, it is relatively smooth, but the damping is a little difficult to control.

In general, the Jinhao X450 is good in terms of workmanship, price and feel. And Jinhao is also one of the best Chinese fountain pen brands.

At this price, it is worth buying such a fountain pen with a stunning appearance and a comfortable writing feel.

The Picasso 902 has a gold cap with some simple engravings and lines. There is a slight bumpy feeling in the hand.

The fountain pen clip adopts the three-dimensional relief process, which has good elasticity and strong strength. And the gloss of the BARREL is good, not easy to scratch, and the touch is more delicate.

Picasso 902 uses a screw type converter, which feels a little light, and has a good airtightness. It can be inked with a light twist.

The last is writing. The Picasso 902 has a smooth writing feel. When writing, you can get contact feedback on the paper surface. There is a slight sense of damping, and there is no feeling of cutting paper.

If the Jinhao 159 is simply described in one sentence, it is that it is very similar to the Montblanc Meisterstück 149, including the size and appearance of the fountain pen.

And you can buy 3 pieces of this pen at a time, and each pen costs less than $6, which is quite a bargain.

The clip of Jinhao 159 adopts a sword and shield logo, which is quite unique.

Speaking of its weight, the net weight reaches 48g, so it is not particularly suitable if you write a lot every day.

Lastly is the nib, which is slightly smaller than the Montblanc Meisterstück 149. The pattern engraving on it is better than that of a fountain pen of the same price.

If you look closely, you will find that it is engraved with a circle of wall-like stripes.

The nib of Jinhao 159 is soft among steel nibs, but the elasticity is average.

It is commendable that its converter rotation feel is relatively good.

Overall, this is a very representative Jinhao fountain pen, and one of the best Chinese fountain pens.

If you're looking for the best Jinhao fountain pen, the Jinhao X750 is also not to be missed.

If you compare the Jinhao X450 and the Jinhao X750, you will find many similarities.

First of all, they all use metal barrels. And they are relatively heavy in the hand, but the net weight of the Jinhao X750 is 36g.

There are differences in appearance, but very close. For example, the Jinhao X450 uses a gold clip, while the X750 uses a silver clip. Plus, both pens are available in a variety of colors.

Finally, the biggest difference is that the grip part of the X450 is anti-slip.

The cap and the end of the barrel of the Hero 329 are narrowed into a bullet-like shape, so the whole pen looks quite light.

In addition, the nib design matches the shape of the entire fountain pen very well, and the writing experience is just right. More importantly, the feel and vision are more comfortable, and the damping feel and ink flow conditions for writing in all directions are also very uniform.

Of particular note is the tipped arrow patch, which forms a line with the nib. This patch is a very thin gold piece with a low gold content.

In general, the Hero 329 is a best value Chinese fountain pen.

The TWSBI Vac700R is a luxury Chinese fountain pen.

The overall workmanship of this fountain pen is really meticulous. In particular, the transparent barrel of the fountain pen is very well done, clean and translucent.

The steel nib is reasonably hard, and the Fine-type nib has obvious damping, but it has become a "everyday weapon" after many times of writing.

However, the only downside is that it is more expensive than other Chinese fountain pens.

First of all, I have to say, the Jinhao 992 fountain pen is really cheap. On average, the price of each fountain pen is less than $3.

The nib of this fountain pen is harder than that of the Pilot, but more flexible than that of the Lamy. When writing, you will find it is really smooth.

But an obvious shortcoming is the barrel. The barrel of Jinhao 992 is made of plastic. But that's also why it's cheap.

In general, although the materials used in Jinhao 992 are not advanced, the key writing nib and sealing process of the fountain pen have not been lost. If you want to buy the best cheap Chinese fountain pen, Jinhao 992 should not be missed.

If the Parker 51 is the classic of the Parker fountain pen brand, then the Hero 100 is the classic of the Hero fountain pen brand, which is of great historical significance and has collection value.

Both are very similar in appearance and in the quality of the various fountain pen components.

The nib of the Hero 100 has no pattern decoration, and in terms of aesthetics, it will be relatively poor. Its cap relies on elastic pieces to hold it, and its airtightness is not as good as that of modern screw-types.

The grip area is large enough, so it is very comfortable to write on. And when you write, it's relatively smooth.

Overall, the "Hero 100" Chinese fountain pen is a decent entry-level 14K fountain pen.

The workmanship of Wing Sung(Yongsheng) 699 is still solid, and the price is reduced to the lowest point under the premise that the negative pressure and the golden nib are well done.

It can be said that it is not far from making an excellent negative pressure fountain pen gold nib.

It is worth mentioning that the FEED of Yongsheng 699 has an additional nib positioning, which is the triangular protrusion in the picture below.

Combined with the triangular indentation at the end of the nib, it is easy for beginners to locate the nib even if the nib is reinstalled.

Overall, this Wing Sung fountain pen is worth recommending for everyday writing.

Penbbs 456 also uses negative pressure inking. The appearance of this green fountain pen barrel is also relatively rare, giving people a fresh feeling.

When you hold the entire Penbbs fountain pen in your hand, there is no feeling of uneven weighting.

Although the nib of the Penbbs 456 is not as soft as those gold-nib fountain pens, it is fortunate that the damping feeling is not very obvious when writing.
