Hongdian D5X Fountain Pen Extra Fine Nib Black Color, Qin Dynasty Retro Chinese Totem Engraving Smooth Writing Pen with Converter and Pen Box Set

the pen is build quality the writing experience is exceptionally smooth, and the nib performs beautifully right out of the box. The pen has a solid, comfortable weight and looks elegant without being overly flashy.

I received an email from the seller about this pen. I ordered this pen and received it very quickly. I ordered the extra fine nib because I am a journaler. The pen has a good amount of weight to it and lets you know it's there when you write. It's a beautiful pen. Time will tell how all the decoration wears. The nib is absolutely spectacular and writes very smoothly even for an extra fine nib. The quality of the decoration is gorgeous and not shabby in the least. The pen does post, but with the weight of the cap on the back it's a bit difficult to balance. It really doesn't need to be posted as the weight of the pen is balanced without it and feels great in the hand. This is not just a showpiece but also a good daily writer. For the price, it deserves to be in everyone's collection.

Weight was great, writes really well, and the details are extraordinary! It's a lot more magnificent than the pictures afford it to be. Great, inexpensive way to dress up your office and your writing. Pulls in ink effortlessly and doesn't come out too fast or make a mess. Highly suggest it if you are even slightly considering it.

The only issue is that the top piece has loosened over time, which also made the clip loose. It doesn’t leak and the ink flow has been consistent. The pen is on the heavier side, which I personally like.

My Aurora Epsilon broke - second pen and when I through I could replace the nib part, I simply could not find it. That's when I found this Hongdian D5X Fountain Pen. I was skeptical that such an affordable pen could be as good as the reviews, but the price was right so I tried it. I will affirm the 5 star reviews! I am a fine writer and this nib is responsive and does not blot on the page. I prefer a better paper than a Moleskin notebook, but this pen works very nicely on Moleskin notebook paper, which my other pens do not. As noted, the decorations are really nice. You would think the decorations would be cheap-looking, but really they are very nicely detailed which is pretty amazing at this price! I have a few expensive pens but I do not like using those daily. I will say this one is very just-right and would recommend it without hesitation. Thank you to the vendor! Fast delivery and well packaged!

The pen is beautiful. BUT...I had a hard time finding out about refill cartridges. After multiple questions on the Internet, I finally found some answers and ordered some refills. The first one I tried is marked Hongdian 3.4mm but it did not work. I pulled a second one out of the box, and it did fit tight and work. I really want to make this a five star, but it remains to be seen whether or not the NEXT Hongdian refill works. Two months later: I am UPPING my review to FIVE stars. Now that I am figuring this out, I love using this pen. It writes so smoothly, feels so good, and the refills are working great.

Surprisingly a wonderful pen for price. Heavy, but lively the EF nib

A super looking and performing fountain pen. Hongdians are known for the good writing experience. Converter unit supplied with pen for ease of cleaning the fountain pen.

As well as being beautifully designed and decorated this pen is a pleasure to write with. Very solidly made and when used with the cap off is very well balanced. With the cap on however it is way off balance and uncomfortable.

Works great - nib is nicely crafted, doesn't "bite" the paper(even when using standard paper not made for fountain pens). Ink flow is consistent, and there has been no leaks. The pen has a good weight to it - but it is on the larger size, so beware that it doesn't fit in all EDC fountain pen holders.

Ornate but incredibly well crafted. Best nib: soft, bouncy, smooth.

La decoración de la pluma, con el barroquismo un poco vacuo de las manufacturas chinas, no deja de tener un punto elegante y curioso. Pero tienes que esperar a probar el plumín: es sencillamente perfecto. Suave, "jugoso", preciso. Supera a la inmensa mayoría, por un precio absolutamente módico.

Dobre wykonanie. Przyjemnie leży w dłoni. Bardzo dobrze się pisze tym piórem.
