Jinhao 777 Extra Fine Fountain Pen, black

My pen has the Fine tip. For the fine tip it’s a remarkably smooth writer for a steel Chinese nib. It has a little feedback but is not scratchy in any way. For me it’s comfortable to write with. I like the triangular grip. It’s good that it comes with a converter. The plastic pen is nice. It seems a little softer than it’s Lamy Safari competitor after which it is modeled. But considering the price difference that’s not a problem.

I like how the pen writes. As another comment mentioned, loading the pen took a bit of practice. However, I haven't had an issue since loading the pen the first time. The problem is that my pen lid is cracked because I posted the pen too far. I would advise against posting it, or you may also crack your lid.

It’s extremely cheap so that’s a huge plus but it comes with a built in ink cartridge where you can use your own ink or put in other cartridge! Works great once it starts flowing

Review update:Used the pen as an everyday carry for several weeks. A piece of the cap broke off in the area of the clip, later another piece broke off where it clicks on to the pen body. It always took a bit of effort to put the cap on and off, perhaps due to variations in the molds. It tended to unscrew, so I tried to tighten it, but the body cracked in the area of the ink viewing slot. I'm still using it, but only at my desk, not as an everyday carry pen.Original review:Copy of the Lamy Safari at about 1/3 the price. Included a converter. Appears to be very sturdy and a good writer. However, even though the nib has an "EF" on it, it produces a thicker line than Japanese EF nibs. Can write with the nib upside down for a fine line. Triangular grip which some people like and some people don't. I generally prefer a round grip, but have adapted to this pen without trauma. The "window" to check ink level is a plus. Works well with Pilot Namiki ink. A good choice for a starter pen.

If you are looking for a reasonably durable clone of a Lamy pen, DO NOT buy this. The cap of the pen fell to pieces within 7 days.

i liked the design but the plastic cracked

A good pen based on the Lamy Safari writes well and smoothly, especially considering it has an extra-fine nib, It has no startup issues. come with a converter and can also use 3.4mm cartridges.
