Jinhao X450 – Red and Black
The Jinhao X450 Fountain Pen offers unbelievable quality at a very reasonable price point
This pen is great for beginners and enthusiasts alike, with a smooth and wet nib, and an exciting visual style. It is a two-tone gold and silver nib, which beautifully matches the accents on the pen.
The pen has an elegant shape, and is also comfortably heavy. The clip features attractive detail, as well as being nice and tight.
The cap simply pulls off, making this a great pen to pull out of your coat for a quick note. Holding the X450 is very comfortable, as it has a triangular grip section.
Another great feature of the X450 is that it ships with a converter. This means it is ready to be used with bottled ink straight away. Diamine inks pair with these pens really well, and we have plenty of colours available.
Additionally, if you prefer cartridges to bottled ink, this pen is compatible with International Standard cartridges. This means it will fit cartridges made by Diamine, Kaweco, J. Herbin, Pelikan, Montegrappa, and many others.

Good looks, solidly made, and when your hand perspires slightly, the grip indentation is a winner.
Mine is inked up with Rohrer und Klingner Alt-Bordeaux, and they make a superb smooth-writing combination.
Apart from the odd hard start caused by me storing it nib up for an extended period (not the pen’s fault, and quickly resolved), no issues whatsoever with this pen. Do yourself a favour and get one.
