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?

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!
