Hi! Just ordered a couple of Jinhao x159 for me and my wife. Hopefully they will be delivered next week 🤞
Anyone got experience with these pens?
Its good but heavy! It was my second fountain pen ever and ive used it til now!
I have a 159 and the x159. I’ve also held a montblanc 149. 😂 I would say it is a copy, but obviously the nib is no where near the same. It is still a good and fun pen to write with. I hope you enjoy it!
Yeah - can’t expect them to be equals! 😅
Have you gotten the pen yet? I was intrigued by your post and ordered one too… When it gets here would be great to compare notes!
Yes! I did receive them yesterday 😅 The built quality seems pretty good - but the nib (Fine) is not as smooth as I hoped. It has some skipping, specially on horisontal strokes.
Thanks! Sorry to hear about the nib. Sounds like you’re not alone (teddit link), but some others have been able to fix with thorough flushing etc.
Sorry, no, but I’m interested to hear about your experience when you get them! My understanding about Jinhao pens (I just ordered several 82s) is that your experience with the nibs may vary. But they are replaceable and can be smoothed out when needed.
Just wanted to bump this to see if OP had any updates!
I’ve got two! I love how chonky the pen is. It writes quite well out of the box. It just felt a bit dry for me, but I love wet pens so that’s probably a me thing. I just tuned the nib to write wetter.
People say it’s a copy of the MB 149. I’ve never tried a Montblanc, since it’s out of my price range, but I’m quite glad to have a cheaper alternative because the thickness of the Jinhao x159 is perfect for my death grip haha.
