It didn't work very well for me. The good thing is that since the pen is very cheap, I'm willing to try to fix it on my own. Possibly this will destroy this pen, but at least I'll learn a lot about fountain pen anatomy. Read more

Received this pen in the mail super quick and this is for the one star. I immediately noticed an ink stain on the feed, so I gave it a thorough cleaning and removed all the blue ink that saturated the nib, it looks like this pen was in use before and they forgot to clean it before returning it.

I hate this pen, it's a complete waste of money. I own more than 20 fountain pens some are expensive, some are budget, but none of them is having this issue. I own one from the same brand and it works flawlessly, the Jinhao x750. This one NO GOOD Read more

The title states Fine (F) nib, the description says Medium (M) nib and the actual delivered item is Extra Fine (F) nib. I can live with either F and M, but this EF, it feels so scratchy even if I am using a wet ink already. I was happy with the Jinhao 9019 fine nib but this EF in the X159 is disappointing and so is the seller who did not send the correct nib size. Read more
