Chinese Fountain Pens Overview

[@wwbdwwbd]

Quality control on these is simply stunning, regardless of their price. To have so many of them write so well out of the box, it's eye-opening for me, but it also saddens me that manufacturers of much more expensive fountain pens (Visconti especially) continue to ship out products that give sub-par writing experience.

[@suprxmestorm7090]

wwbdwwbd They don’t have to pay for development.

[@blazejason5551]

i know it's quite off topic but does anybody know of a good website to watch new tv shows online?

[@colekasen9843]

@Blaze Jason I use flixzone. You can find it by googling =)

[@ravodedra2226]

Thanks for this video. I had been really looking forward to it. Continue to enjoy your pens and educate us on the intricacies of the fountain pen universe!

[@maryriley6163]

I'm glad someone else keeps their pens inked up. I also have quite a few inexpensive pens and I keep all of them inked up. I journal daily and I enjoy writing with all of them in several different inks because they don't all work well with the same ink. Being high toned just ain't my style. Thanks for sharing your pens with us.

[@chrisrap52]

Thanks for watching. I still have many pens inked upped. Enjoy them all.

[@Indusxstan]

That was a good look at Chinese pens at a glance. Appreciate it.

[@ChrisSaenz13]

I enjoyed this video Chris! It is amazing how a pen can behave differently when I revisit it -- I guess sometimes it takes quite awhile to know how a pen will "act" consistently. If that makes sense. You have a really cool collection and I like seeing the pens and hearing your thoughts!!!

[@chrisrap52]

Thanks. I also enjoy your views.

[@vwood2]

Fantastic overview! I’ve actually bought several of these pens, after watching your individual reviews. They’ve all worked well for me, and also made great gifts. Thank you very much!

[@thekeddi]

I really liked this review. Chinese fountains have come a long way in the last few years. And like you said, if you don't like them then don't buy them, but don't be a pen snob, it makes you look silly. My collection will grow and youtubers like you have taught me so much! Thanks for your time and knowledge. From Down Under

[@chrisrap52]

Thank you. Glad to hear from my viewers.

[@tbayless8324]

I agree , that is what is saving me where I get to buy alot of pens instead of just a few. Look at what we could have been missing out on.

[@1sanjuan60]

Can you please do an updated video on Chinese , Taiwanese, and "other" pens? Thanks

[@chrisrap52]

I update with every video, Compilations like this is very time consuming. Thanks for asking but don't hold your breath.

[@1sanjuan60]

Thank you for doing the video

[@Wanishahid]

Chris thanks for this overview, cleared a lot of doubts. thanks for these amazing videos.

[@rustyhowell8229]

Another terrific video! Enjoyed your comparison of the different styles, especially how they compare to one another side-by-side. I will definitely look into purchasing a few of those.

[@sueveness3433]

Thanks for the overview. I’m a big fan of the Chinese pens as well.

[@tdawson7689]

Thanks for the review of all these pens. I've enjoyed them all and will admit that I've bought a few thanks to you bringing them to my attention. They're great pens and I don't mind taking the risk when the cost is minimal. Thanks again.

[@chrisrap52]

Thanks for the comment. It encourages me.

[@KristiGay1973]

I'm a big fan of the Wing Sung 590, Jinhao 992, Wing Sung 3008, Wing Sung 698, Jinhao 159, Wing Sung 6359, etc. Basically, as many cheap pens as possible. More money to spend on inks and paper that way! I enjoy tinkering with the nibs and feeds.

[@chrisrap52]

I feel the same.

[@12markito]

Well and your collection expands without breaking the bank. It’s like with handbags. If you can get a coach for $100 vs $500 then your collection expands and you have more handbags to try out and show off.

[@colinmartin9797]

I'm currently eagerly waiting on that acrylic eyedropper.

[@DD-d6d3]

Great collection. Thank you for sharing. Re: pink. Up until Victorian England, pink was considered a manly color.

[@CazSantiago]

I really enjoyed your Chinese fountain pen review! I am new to the hobby and I'd like to try a few pens while staying within a reasonable budget. I have I am now more informed and I thank you for that. For what it's worth, I recently purchased and received the Wing Sung 3008 four pen set and my pens have a click-lock mechanism that keeps it from turning easily and this spilling ink. I have the very same pink one inked up right now with Noodler's Lexington Gray ink and it is beautiful. Happy writing!

[@chrisrap52]

Thanks for the feedback. Glad you have the newer 3008's. Only my 3059's click.

[@creativewatercolor]

Very nice overview. Nice to see all the pens side by side. Thanks for the video.

[@JG3Reviews]

Great overview, several here are pens I have, but I saw a couple I'll have to check out.

[@pascha120]

Great review, Chris! IA, a good pen is a good pen no matter what country it comes from... I'm not entirely convinced by some who are willing to immediately throw the baby out with the bath water re Chinese pens. Glad there are pen reviewers out there like you who are openminded enough to broaden their pen horizons.

[@chrisrap52]

Thanks, I try.

[@mizmaxeen]

I enjoyed your video. I've seen some of the pens you mentioned for really cheap prices and wasn't sure about buying. Now I think I'll invest in a few

[@davidanderson3425]

Thank you Chris. When all of these pens are on display they look so different and so beautiful. There must surely be something for everyone here, no matter what your taste. You hinted at the possibility of doing another video like this one with a different selection of Chinese pens. I am all in favour of the idea. It would be nice to see one or two Baoer pens. I have had a lot of luck with the Baoer brand. Surprisingly smooth, in my opinion. Good video.

[@chrisrap52]

My experience with BAOER is mixed. They make some great pens. There is quite a range in quality from my experience. Same for all pen makers. Difference is how much you pay for a pen vs. what you expect from the pen.

[@00tlo00]

Hi! Thanks for all your videos on the Chinese Pens! Im really enjoying them! I’m just getting into fountain pens. I have recently ordered a WS 3008 and the Lecai acrylic pen, plus have my eye on a few others on eBay. My question is how do I know which of these pens I can replace the nib and how do I know what size to replace them with? I prefer a thicker line and a lot of these pens only come in F or EF. Thank you!

[@MechFrankaTLieu]

Recent production pens do see a lot of changes, but this all begin really way back in the 90's when the industry start to come away from regulation and state planned production. Before the time, the factories are limited by what they can do with limited access to materials, and technology. While constant exchange of business and technical know-how do happen during the 80's they fail to expand from the experience until the 90's when the business management are let open up. A great Video that could be most educational to those who had not yet had the chance to experience Chinese fountain pens

[@CaptainWumbo]

Truly the power of industry. Bring the piston fillers to the masses! I'd have been so into these if they were around when I was in school / sold locally.

[@chrisrap52]

Enjoy them now. Share with students who may not know they exist.

[@bikkies]

Not quite sure what that "too many pens inked up" thing is all about. Right here and now, I have about 22 pens inked up, ranging from no-names all the way up to a Lamy 2000 and a Custom 74, but there have been times when I've easily had 40 or more inked up at once. How often do I write with them? Not often enough. How often do I end up dumping out 1ml or more of ink down the drain when I choose to re-ink them? Far too often. Am I likely to get my house in order and stick to 3 inked pens any time soon? Don't bet on it! Part of the fun of this hobby is the inking and, dare I say, the flushing & cleaning. It's all part of the addiction...

[@chrisrap52]

I enjoy choices. The more inked up, the more to choose from. Some do sit for too long, then get cleaned out & stored to make room for more inked.

[@richardsims6016]

Hi Chris, Thanks for the great overview. I didn't catch the names of all the pens in your collection though. My favorites are the Wing Sung 698 & the Jin Hao 992. Great pens!

[@jereownby5116]

Chris, I agree with Mr. Sims here. I can't catch all the names. Is it possible to leave notes on this KZbin page, or to run the names across the screen like you do with a post-filming correction? Thanks. Really like your show. Jere

[@adams13f]

1 i came here because of a comment you made on another channel. You schooled him watched a few of your videos and you are knowledgeable about these pens i subscribed.

[@chrisrap52]

Welcome aboard! I love my pens & enjoy sharing my experiences. Enjoy the videos.

[@adams13f]

@chrisrap52 Roger that.

[@pollysteinmetz7215]

Hello, I have a few Chinese pens and others and every one of them stops writing even through I clean them. I saw your video on good Chinese pens to buy. My question is should I go buy a few of those and stop fussing or am I doing something to cause all my pens to stop writing? I try to use the same ink in one pen and it is a monte verde ink. I have Conklin, Monteverde, Jinhao pens. Anyway I’d really appreciate your opinion since I am tired of researching how everybody else keeps their pens clean. Thanks so much for what you do! Polly

[@chrisrap52]

Not sure what is stopping ink flow. Does it stop after a few pages? How do you get it to start writing again? I do not have that problem with these pens.

[@geckonia]

Haha! Fellow renegade I have 30 pens inked up too! Thanks for the overview.

[@BillBaran]

I love the bent nib I got with the Delike War & Peace and I'm looking forward to trying more out too. "Don't fit who you are." Great advice.

[@DealerBoy]

Chris:. Great overview. You've covered a lot of territory over the last couple of months. I was particularly interested in the possible redemption of the Lanbitou 3059. I actually believe your last review of the 3059 depressed the price on eBay. Looking forward to the follow-up. David

[@chrisrap52]

Am working on more positive follow up. Have a fully transparent one with a comparable ECO. The green one is behaving better.

[@scarpaz]

The Wing Sung 3008 goes now for less than $3. Insane.

[@chrisrap52]

Yes, see my recent new video on 3008 colors. One of the best deals today.

[@samuele5931]

What about nib smoothness? How it is to some beginners fountain pen like lamy safari and pilot metropolitan?

[@Nicomacobr]

Hello Chris. I am trying to clean some of my fountain pens . I have noticed some difficulties with them. Inks tend to get dry faster . Is that because of converter issues ? Feed issues ? Thank you.

[@chrisrap52]

Lots of causes, for me the cap not sealing well, ink dries out. I've had full converters become empty over a few months. Some pens better than others. Hooded nibs dry out less. Thankfully, usually a good soak in water will dissolve the dried ink.

[@Nicomacobr]

@@chrisrap52 thanks. all true. it was not clear to me that the cap mechanism was that important.

[@MrAndrew1953]

Chinese piston fillers fascinate me with the variations on the way they are set up. Like you I have too many pens inked up. I get trays like that - exercise trays and do figure 8s,Pierre Gustafson tests to stop them drying out.

[@chrisrap52]

Great idea. Having too many pens is never a problem. Thanks for watching.

[@Sonicman415]

Spelled your wrong - you're. Glad it has survived the test of time.

[@Richard1855]

Chris, as usual a great review... well done mate. You must be quite flattered on what David Heverly believe your review on the Lanbitou 3059 had done to its price on ebay. Had a chuckle when I read it. With regards to your Teal Wing Sung 698 writing first time, despite having issues in the past, on a humourous note, perhaps the "Fountain Pen Guardian Angel" had a hand in it heh! heh! Don't change your demeanour as I am sure a lot of viewers, appreciate your honest and frank opinion and personally why I watch your reviews. Keep 'em comin.

[@chrisrap52]

Thanks. I appreciate the feedback on my style. The Angel does visit us occasionally. Sometimes heals our pens. I recently retired, so I can devote more time to my hobby / obsession. I enjoy sharing my life journeys.

[@aclassybroad5078]

I didn't know anything about Chinese pens before watching this video. I went to EBay and got a 3008 and 618. I love the 618 (haven't tried the 3008 yet). The sparkles are pretty and the skinny little nib writes like butter. Thank you for all the information. I think I need a few more 😻.

[@chrisrap52]

Glad I could be of assistance. I'm sure you'll enjoy them.

[@magik8566]

A suggestion for the first time use of a pen to avoid problems with ink flow, clean it with soapy water.... Gets the machine/manufacturing grit or oils out....

[@chrisrap52]

If flush all new pens with my pen flush, ammonia & detergent mix.

[@yominrak7975]

Whenever I see your Kaigelu 316 shown in this video, it always reminds me of a black bear, that kind of black fur bear with a bit of brown....it also reminds me of a lion, the mane is black and the body is brown...I want to get this kaigelu 316 finishes but it seems I have missed the chance, there are no stock with a reasonable price in Aliexpress and Etsy.

[@chrisrap52]

What is a reasonable price? Many under $21 USD on my eBay.

[@themookie2112]

Chris.....what's the name of the pen you called the "pocket pen"? Seem like an eyedropper acrylic......Thanks!

[@chrisrap52]

Check out my video kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3rSm2erfM-Ya7M Pen usually listed as LECAI Transparent Acrylic Fountain Pen.

[@Vanira]

I ordered a couple of Wing Sung pens (3003 and 3008) after seeing your videos. I hope mine will hold up just as well! I'm a teacher, so I don't want to have any pens I'm uncomfortable with carrying with me and all of these seem great to get back into fountain pens as well as being able to stand up to being thrown around (and if they don't, at least they don't break the bank!)

[@chrisrap52]

Well stated.

[@Diffusion8]

Thanks Chris! Prefer my Jinhao 992 to the Wing sun 698; nicer size and writer in my experience. Awaiting the Lecai, a 3008 and a couple of 3003s on the back of your reviews! Cheers!

[@leenthelnah]

Which one is the superfine flex nib?

[@AnzanHoshinRoshi]

Thank you, Chris. I liked the Jinhao 992 but the cap broke under the band.

[@chrisrap52]

Unfortunate. Haven't had issues with mine. Can be replaced under $2 USD.

[@AnzanHoshinRoshi]

Unfortunately, I am not wise to the ways of eBay. I buy these kinds of things from Amazon.

[@Абусупиян-й1й]

What best? Wing sung 3008 or Lanbitou 3059?

[@chrisrap52]

I prefer the 3008, made a little better.

[@Абусупиян-й1й]

@@chrisrap52 thanks for the reply. 3008, where I live, only in gold metal, which annoys me. There is a 3009 (completely transparent), how do you look at it? Which one do you recommend?I am interested in the quality of plastic from this three. I'm sorry for my English, I hope you understand me.😇😇😇

[@chrisrap52]

I understand. I suggest you buy the one you like best. I'm sure you'lll enjoy it.

[@ima4ster]

I'm new to the fountain pen passion. I have an upcoming trip to China in 2 weeks and I want to buy a nice Chinese fountain pen from a Shanghai or Hangzhou pen store. What 1 Chinese pen would you recommend?

[@chrisrap52]

Moonman M600 or M100. Both excellent pens that have a unique look. But I'm sure you'll see pens we don't see outside of China, that's what I would buy.

[@keithwhitney7491]

Chris, as always, thank you! I am trying to move toward a more responsible choice with regard to investing in more pens than I can us; hence, I found this review interesting. My question would relate to whether you note a significant improvement in a Chinese pen, one like the PENBBS models recently reviewed and available at prices varying from around $22 up to $39 or so, versus the one that (as with you) attracted me, the Wing S 698. I do find the acrylic work of the Kaigelu 316 appealing, and I have ordered one PENBBS (the light green you reviewed, now at $22, but still less expensive than some other color combinations) just to evaluate. I am starting a “Card Ministry” and will give some pens away too. Any thoughts of which is best for a new-to-pen user with limited funds? I want to make it easy for anyone to participate.

[@chrisrap52]

My favorite under $1 pen for beginners is the Jinhao 991 with hooded nib. I just got 8 for under $8, delivered. Easy to use, consistent, doesn't dry out. Many times called student pen. Need to look at pics to confirm hooded nib. If you want to upscale the Wing Sung 3003 is great, next 3008 (piston fill), both under $2. These are more classic fountain pens & will require more user interaction. I've given many of all of these away to positive results.

[@fountainpencollection]

Hey Chris can you review some vintage Chinese pens such as . Hero 565 (or Golden Star 565) , Hero 330 (golden plated and Dragon phoenix hand-carved patterns ) , Hero 329 , hero 338 , Hero 340 , Jin Hao 911 , Rainbow 202 , Rainbow 201 , Wing sung 235 , Wing Sung 612-A , Wing Sung 812 .

[@chrisrap52]

Give me a couple of years.

[@fountainpencollection]

:) Well you can start with Hero 565 and wing Sung 235 they are really nice pens . Wing sung 235 is a fine line writer and Hero 565 is really a wet medium nib .

[@m.o.cfitnessrolemodels3642]

[@chrisrap52]

[@peterjpuleo4133]

Sure, why not keep a dozen or more inked. The worst that can happen is that you might have to flush a few out. Ink isn't all that expensive.

[@chantalangel]

You sounded great! Just watching this video, but would not have mind at all, if you did lightning crashes until the end 😉

[@jeanneshumaker5255]

I’m a newbie at fountain pens, what does the bent nib do for ones writing? You sound like a PA resident, am I right? I grew up in PA😃

[@chrisrap52]

Yes, grew up in Williamsport, college in Philly. Picked up some Pittsburg from friends. Bent nibs are generally smooth & have a wider line horizontally.

[@JackZimmermann]

Great stuff! Keep it coming!

[@Mattw1987]

great overview, helpfull for me to test some chinese pens seeing this video

[@Jona_Guerra]

Excelentes piezas, gracias por compartir!!!

[@MR2Davjohn]

All of those pens are something close to another more expensive pen. I would like to know what those pens are meant to copy. I like all those pens. I have many of them. They write so well I don't know why people insist upon going with $50+ pens. I can buy 10 at that price.

[@chrisrap52]

In the individual videos I usually mention the pen they resemble. I agree these are excellent values.

[@snoozleblob]

Great overview! This definitely answered some of the questions I had. Is it in your order of preference from left to right? I tried to rewatch to confirm but couldn't figure it out still. Also, I definitely don't find anything lacking even though you use only one camera; the content is still entertaining and informative, which is what matters really. Some other video ideas I'd be interested in: could you do a video of pens you regret buying or had a negative experience with? Or maybe a discussion on how you chose which Chinese pens to buy (e.g. your thoughts when you peruse Ebay), considering the vast number of designs and mimics out there it can be quite overwhelming!

[@chrisrap52]

Glad you liked the format. My favorite pens vary depending on the day and what I am writing. Any of these could be a favorite for a day or more. Most of my regrets are experiments where I expand beyond, take a chance. Sometimes the pen needs to sit for a while while I learn what it is good for. I will think about it. Some of the pens I don't like have been sold or given away.

[@Fernandohe111]

I have an Hero 901 and Jinhao x750, I write with the Hero 901 more often because I prefer finer lines. But now that I know much more about the subject after watching so many reviews, I bought a Kaigelu 316 because I have really liked the Duofold aesthetics, and currently they began producing it with an ef nib, which is meant to be 0.38 mm, but if it writes de facto as a 0.5 mm nib I will be happy, can't wait for it to arrive.

[@chrisrap52]

The 316 is a heavy pen. I tend to like wider nibs. 0.7 or more.

[@Fernandohe111]

I think its hard to find many people who like fine to extra fine nibs, its just that my writing style is better with 0.5 or less. I think the weight of the 316 will be fine for me, the Hero 901 appears to be notoriously heavy, I gave it once to a few relatives of mine and they thought it to be a really heavy pen, but after many weeks using it I don't feel it as being heavy anymore.

[@pu5epx]

Which is the 6th pen?

[@chrisrap52]

Check out my video kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3rSm2erfM-Ya7M Pen usually listed as LECAI Transparent Acrylic Fountain Pen.

[@scarpaz]

It's a Lecai acrylic. Alas, it's probably the most expensive of the lot now.

[@gwdavidson065]

My Wingsung 3008 has a locking mechanism

[@chrisrap52]

I've heard the 698 piston will fit the 3008. None of mine lock.

[@oceanz4]

I bought 2 Jinhao 992 pens and couldn't get either to write.

[@chrisrap52]

Did you flush them before inking? What have you done to get the pen to write. I've inked 6, all write well.

[@oceanz4]

I will try flushing them. Pilot and Platinum have spoiled me. I just add ink and go with those. Did you have to flush your pens? BTW I enjoy your videos

[@chrisrap52]

If flush all pens. For piston fills, Ire move nib & feed & flush them. I do with all pens. No downside & any pen can benefit from it.

[@oceanz4]

OK. Thank you for the tip.

[@cynthiarichter792]

Thanks for doing this review. I have a few of these and find they always start up right away unlike some of the more expensive pens. Can't get over that! They are cheap pens.

[@phsyckomantis]

Whats the model of the one you called Kangooroo?

[@Writers_Bliss]

As far as I know, it is the Kaigelu 316. It is a nice pen, but sadly very back heavy. I cannot write more than a Din A4 page with it, without feeling a "tiredness" in my hand, because of the heaviness. (The end piece of the pen is not made of plastic but metal, therefore the weight and the unbalanceness). The Kaigelu 356 is better for long writing sessions in my opinion.

[@phsyckomantis]

Blue Thunder thank you very much. I have big hands and that kind of heavy pens kind of work really good for me. I actually have 2 jinhao 159 and they are a delight. And thank you once more :D

[@breadyegg]

Ahha. There seem to be a few colour variations on this pen.

[@peterjpuleo4133]

Do you think the Chinese will ever actually mount a challenge to the Japanese or Italians or Germans in the higher end pen market? It looks like they have already cornered the market in the economy pen precinct.

[@chrisrap52]

I believe they could compete at the high end. Just a matter of what they decide to focus on.

[@barrylevitt1170]

The pen habit did a review of the kaigula 316 and indicated that a standard #6 nib would not fit, have you found this to be the case? Please advise, I would like to try this pen but I would need to replace the nib with a jowo #6 extra fine nib. Keep up the informative reviews, they are very enjoyable.

[@chrisrap52]

I like the nib in the pen. Don't have a reason to swap it. Love the Kangaroo on the nib.

[@jeanneshumaker5255]

Thank you😃🖌

[@jeanneshumaker5255]

Your videos are very helpful. Thank you for giving Etsy as one of your sources😃 on another of your videos. I like that shop. I would rather purchase my pens at the shop than eBay. I now have 4 fountain pens, I can see how easy it is to collect more than one pen😃. I told myself I only need one fountain pen and now I have 4😃. I also have my eye on a few others🌸. Now, I’m telling myself I should only have 6 fountain pens, yet I think maybe 8 would be fun🤗 I grew up in PA, in the North Hills area. Lived in PA for 22 years then moved to North Carolina, lived there for 17 years. Now I live in Tennessee and have been here for over twenty years😃. I love the weather of the south🤗. God Bless You🙏🏻.

Didn't make the cut. Just got edged out.

[@tbayless8324]

I rather have you being honest instead of trying to push me into a real expensive pen I can't afford and lose out. I have 4 Jinhao's that are such wonderful writers and just bought a Wing Sung with a gold nib, not as good as a Pilot E95s but you don't know until you write with it. Next will be a PenBBS. So thanks for be frank about these pens.

Many have asked the same. I choose to makes this a visual tour. All these pens I have reviewed in separate videos. I do mention the model. Yes, it may take some effort on viewer's part to find a specific pen. Enjoy the journey.

[@jereownby5116]

Please reconsider. Yes, I get it there are full reviews of all these pens. Yes, I am going to go and check out the full review. But if I don't know the brand and model of the pen the viewer has to go through your entire library, switching back and forth from there to this video to find the full video of a pen where you sparked the viewer's interest here.Thank you for your consideration of this request.

[@tracyyang6481]

This is truly a nice collection. I'm a Chinese and had more first hand experience with Chinese fountain pens. Undoubtedly a lot of Chinese manufacturers kind of copy foreign companies designs. To be honest, it’s hard to be creative in the pen world now. There’s just so many models out there. Sailor also copy Montblac’s cigar shape. But at the same time I see a lot of more creative Chinese fountain pens in the market. Maybe foreign retailers are not so interested in those models. And pen addicts in other worlds get to see less of these. Ps, Chinese fountain pens are really cheap.

[@chrisrap52]

I agree with all your points. That is one reason I do the videos. Thanks for the support.

[@anthonyshealy]

Please tell me the name of the pen you wrote with after the red one. I love the look of the pen but can’t find it on eBay nor do i know the name and maker. Thanks in advance.

Last time I purchased chinese pens is 4 years ago and it was hit and miss. Quality wise it was ok but not impressive. These pens dont last long and change color overtime. And the fact that they are a lot of chinese pens that are copies of other pens. I recently purchased a couple of others and im hoping they are better than they used to be. I will see once i get them

[@chrisrap52]

Hopefully you bought good ones from a reputable seller.

Can someone tell me the name of the Duofold-like pen? My googling hasn't surfaced anything.

0:56 you're not your. if you're selling tractors, spelling doesn't count that much. these are pens, used to write words - spell those words properly!

Yes, I will be there wrong forever.

[@thebishop1095]

I wish you'd done a better job of identifying name and model number of each pen.

[@chrisrap52]

This is an overview. I verbally identify each pen. I have individual reviews of each. If you want more details, look for the pen reviews on my channel.

[@JoachimderZweite]

Next time make it a point to name the pens and model numbers CONSISTENTLY as you started rambling about 5 mins in and mentioned some names in passing in a mumble. I really enjoyed this but it was a lousy job.

[@chrisrap52]

Expand description & you see all pens listed.

Hi Chris! Love your collection. I have collected a few of these inexpensive Chinese pens and I love writing with them! I’m curious about the pocket pen in this video. (6th from the left) you did not mention the name of it and I couldn’t find it anywhere on google search. Great video btw!

Chuong Vu It's a Lecai transparent acrylic fountain pen.

[@thekeddi]

I can't find this on EBay? It just doesn't come up. I'm in Australia but get all the other pens? Is it possible to leave a link in here for it? Thanks!

[@snoozleblob]

It was mentioned in the original review that you just need to look up "Lecai fountain pen" on Ebay and it'll come up. :)
