Hongdian N7 Blue Peacock Resin Piston Fountain Pen, Iridium Long Blade Fine Nib Classic Pen, Smooth Writing Pen with Metal Box

I collect and use fountain pens of all types. I saw this pen and bought it due to its very affordable price point. I didn’t except much when I received the pen. I have bought Chinese pens in the past and was generally disappointed especially when it came to writing. Firstly, the pen is large and very ornate but looks good. It feels good in the hand too, not too heavy at all. I don’t know what the pen is made of other than metal but it is light and is not magnetic. I ordered an extra fine point. The nib writes well, is not scratchy, with some feedback, and is wet for a fine point. I was very pleased with the writing in general. You can write with the cap posted or not, either way it is balanced. It is a piston filled pen. There were no instructions with the pen but it did have a wrench to take the piston apart for cleaning—very nice touch. The only negative I could find is the clip—a little too stiff for my liking. Overall, at this price point, the pen is a must have for fountain pen enthusiasts. I would recommend this pen.

This is such a beautiful pen. The etching on it is breath taking. I hope I did not use the incorrect word. The pen has a little weight to it. The fine nib writes smoothly. Similar to writing with your favorite pencil. I say that because the ink I used was wearingeul, I am a cat. Such a great pairing of the two items. Although, any ink written with this pen is going to be a joy to write with. Highly recommended. Just looking at the pen is fascinating.

I have now collected several Hondian pens, and this latest one, like all the others, has worked flawlessly from the beginning. This one is not overly large, but is substantial in weight, posts well, and I am thoroughly happy with it. I have a lovely Pelikan M805 with a gold nib, and of course I love it. But I assure you there is nothing to be unhappy about with this pen on the performance front. It is a modest, durable, well-made pen that works reliably. But not just reliably. It is a genuine pleasure to write with. Sometimes (for me, often) you just want a pen that works well, and you don't especially need to hold something in your hand that is the last word in elegance and prestige, and you don't have a need to remind yourself (or broadcast to others) how much money you have to throw around. I am not especially in love with how this pen looks, but the pen commands my respect with how well it works and feels in my hand and on the paper, and I can forget about the pen and just simply write. And that's worth something. Highly recommended.

I recently bought two Hongdian pens, the N6 and the N7, both for about $35 US dollars. I primarily got them because they look beautiful and awesome, but also because Hongdian is the one Chinese brand I had not yet explored and wanted to dip my toes in , so to speak. The reason I got the N6 Black w/ Longblade nib is…well, quite frankly I was secretly wanting the new Estie Raven piston, but the $275 price tag turned me off, despite it being a gorgeous pen to look at. And so I saw the N6 in all black, a longblade nib (which is a really nice architect type grind, but a bit more expressive) and for just $35 and thought “Hm, well, I guess I can get a really cool black pen and not spend almost $300”. The N6 is very well made, a mixture of resin and metal so that it has a nice weighted balance that makes posting the pen pretty nice. Also, it comes with an ebonite feed and a little wrench for disassembly. It has a nice little ink window when the cap is removed, which I appreciate. The black longblade nib is really cool and reminds me of line variation I get from my Lamy 2K EF, which has a subtle architect grind-like nib, but the Longblade is a bit more expressive in its line variation and looks and feels great, very addictive. If I had one complaint, I wish it was a matte black finish, as opposed to the smooth black surface that it is. Especially with respect to the grip section, which is almost too smooth, and which I have a little bit of a hard time placing my finger on it; I end up holding the pen higher up, near or on the threads, which I don’t really like. Other than that, it’s a fantastic pen.

Most beautiful fountain pen. It took a couple of attempts, to fill it with ink for the first time. But it is now ready to go. The writing is a lovely fine line. The pen has got a good weight to hold it in balance. Wonderful.

First time fountain pen users will be lost because no instructions for filling the pen was included. Head over to YouTube. Filling method is a turn the non on the end thing. It comes with a small tool for taking apart the pen when a deep clean is required. Remember to wash the nib with a bit of water if it isn't writing. The fine nib is a 0.4mm at my guess. A smooth writer. It looks good an writes well . Hopefully someone will have the care and filling instructions on YouTube soon.

good

la penna può piacere o no, ma è di buona fattura e non passa senza essere notata. Non sono all'altezza del resto la clip del cappuccio eccessivamente rigida ed il meccanismo a pistone che sembra sfruttare un banale converter, ma per esserne certi si dovrebbe smontare la penna, ma non ho capito come fare.

Ótima caneta, por ser uma ponta fina é bem macia, confortável e prática. Grande armazenamento de tinta. Bom acabamento e apresentou zero desgaste em 3 meses de uso.
