As you can see from the attached photo, the Jinhao x159 is an unabashed imitation of the vastly more expensive Montblanc Meisterstück 149. The dimensions and proportions are almost identical. Naturally, the quality is nowhere near the same. The Montblanc is made of so-called "precious resin" that's very refined to the eye and to the touch. The Montblanc is more hefty and the trim and nib are made of real gold. The nib of the Montblanc is 18k gold and very thick and solid, and it's ground and tuned to smooth perfection. The Montblanc has an integrated piston filler. To ask if the Montblanc is worth its gargantuan price is the same as asking if a Rolls Royce is worth its price. The Jinhao is much more modest. It's made of a lightweight plastic that looks and feels cheap (though it photographs well). The earlier models of the Jinhao x159 with the #6 nibs were made of lacquered brass, so they felt much more solid and hefty. Sadly, the entire pen has been redesigned and you can't put the nib section of the new model with the #8 nib on the older, superior body. The trim of the x159 is made of some cheap metal and the nib is stainless steel and fairly thin. It uses a proprietary converter that's included with the pen. No one who knows the real Montblanc 149 would mistake this Jinhao for the real thing. Don't go around acting as if you own a Montblanc or you'll get laughed out of the room, but if you take the resemblance with a grain of humour, people will laugh along with you. Inevitable comparisons out of the way, how does the pen hold up on its own? Surprisingly, it writes very well. The nib is roughly a European extra fine (or a Japanese fine) and it's very rigid. The ink flow is good and consistent, but I wouldn't call it wet, and the strokes are very uniform. No line variation with this pen! Oddly, the #8 nib doesn't feel very large. On the Montblanc, you really feel that you're farther from the paper. On the Jinhao, it feels like you're writing with a #6 nib. Its converter has about the same capacity as regular converters from the major brands (excluding Pilot's ridiculously small CON-40) and it works quite well. Like the pen it copies, it's oversized, so whether it's comfortable is subjective. Its large size also makes it less convenient to carry everywhere than smaller pens like the Preppy or the Pilot Metropolitan. I didn't stress test it, but it doesn't feel very solid. I don't think it would hold up well to abuse. But... it's a $20 pen! It compares very favorably to other pens in its price range and it writes better than most of them. Read more

I’ve been collecting fountain pens for over forty years. I used to go to the major fountain pens shows in Southern California and I even had my own fountain pen repair business for several years back when. So, I’ve owned the best of the best to Lamy Safaris. I had yet to try a Jinhao, but couldn’t wait any longer after all the good reviews I’ve read. In searching for the top Jinhao pens to purchase I kept coming across this Jinhao X159 Black Fountain Pen with a #8 nib on it in Fine. After filling it with my favorite ink - PILOT Iroshizuku Bottled Fountain Pen Ink, Ama-Iro, (Light Blue) - https://amzn.to/4fHjS5l I was ready to try it out. Wow! This thing write butter smooth, no skips, feels great in the hand. I truly believe this rivals my 35 year old Mont Blanc 149 that is 197.163% more expensive than this Jinhao. I am truly blown away. It pretty much has the good looking features of my 149. So, I sat there completely in shock at just how great this pen is. Yes, it’s a solid great pen, not even in the good category, but I believe the best bargain and high quality you can find. I find myself using this over my MB 149 because it’s just too costly to carry around. With this pen I don’t have to worry about it, but make no mistake I’m not letting this pen leave my vicinity. I can’t think of any wish list items I would want on this pen other than what it already comes with. It’s a gorgeous looking pen and most people would have no clue what this pen retails for and how well it works under the hood. I cannot stress enough at just how great a fountain pen this is. Heck, I would say even if you’re a fountain pen newbie this would make an amazing wonderfully first choice, but be forewarned you will be spoiled with just how good a pen it is. I would give this pen 10+ stars if I could; it’s that good. Just order it now and thank yourself later. A very strong recommend from me. Read more
