Majohn Moonman T1 Fountain Pen Review

[@inella]

I just want to say I adore your sense of humor…you just makes my days when I look at your reviews ❤

[@stevenhaubrich9505]

Have exact same pen. My opinon: My nib was aligned but not a big fan of Moon Man \ Majohn nibs. I like the ridges on the grip of a TWSBI Diamond ALR vs. the smooth grip of the T1. However the price is more. You can buy a replacement nib and still be below the price of a TWSBI. I like the pen after replacing the nib.

[@brillcouncil4584]

FWIW I got mine when they first came out years ago, and it was aligned fine. Mine is a nice writer, F though.

[@johnsomers8269]

Yes, there are always pliers and tweaking. Thanks for your candor, and honest evaluation.

[@limmoblack]

There isn't ALWAYS tweaking, and as for honesty, do you want to buy a bridge?

[@randy-9842]

Thanks, Stephen. I've purchased one Moonman pen (different style but same brand) and the nib was fine. I hope this one was just one-off.

[@joshhardin666]

I've had the moonman t1 for a number of years now and it's one of my favorite inexpensive pens. it's writes really well, holds a TON of ink, and looks rather nice. I use it as a desk pen in the office. my only real gripe is the lack of a clip. I enjoy putting my pens in my shirt pocket when I carry them around, and engaging the clip with the top of my pocket, but this one flips around if stored there. I keep mine on a 3d printed desk stand on my desk at my workplace, and works rather well there. I did NOT have the alignment issue illustrated here, and mine feels writes rather smooth and wet.

If you was a clip the kaveco sport clip fits perfectly on that pen

[@paolopellegatti5686]

I had one a few years back and I liked it quite a bit but after less than a year the piston broke. I used it as a "eyedropper" for a while and then the section unglued/cracked and came off entirely. In the trash can from there. I never replaced it because I liked the old MOONMAN logo as opposed as Mahjong

[@arthursmith1539]

FWIW I got mine some time ago and the nib was acceptable.

[@bethg7026]

I have had a mixed bag with moonman nibs . One was perfect, two were misaligned. I have two 9019's, a M and an EF - and the EF lays down a broader line than the M. But, their standard nibs are swappable for Jowo nibs, so if you get a bad nib you can swap them out rather inexpensively!

[@illustratedjournal]

I have 3 of these: blue-green, grey, and brass. All great writers. No issues with them at all. All the nibs were fine with my pens. Great writers but not great posters.

[@MarcellHobbs]

I purchased this pen in a bronze finish three years ago. I requested return for the misalignment of tones, but they just refunded without return.

[@alanpareis734]

Hmm, nice pen for the price. Thanks for the review.

[@stashi3107]

I have this pen and mine wrote fine right out of the box it came in! You can also swap in a Narwhal nib unit if you don’t like the Moonman one. I do find the Moonman nibs are sometimes a bit dry and stif but very smooth.

[@oguzkoban1920]

I bought more than 20 Pens from China in the last 5 years including Mahohn branded ones and all of them works perfectly fine. Their nibs are tuned, some of them a bit dry but not unaligned at all.

[@Joe29587]

I agree! Chinese nibs nowadays are far more reliable than the super common, German Bock nibs.

[@cliffhughes6010]

You were unlucky with that nib. I've got two (one in a grey finish) and the nibs write very well and are a bit wetter than yours seemed to be. I've got a few diffeent Moonman pens and several other Chinese pens. They're good value and I'm very happy with them. I can't say the same for Chinese pens I bought twenty years ago which all fell apart or leaked. It was as if the different parts were manufactured without any quality control by people in different factories who had never met or even spoken. It's very different today, the Chinese manufacturers have really upped their game.

[@shutupandcrochet]

I put a kilk broad nib on my moonman

[@ForTheLoveOfPens]

Kaweco meets TWSBI

[@xwingrox]

First! Hey there! (Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the pen!)

[@ruthfeiertag]

It’s a pretty colour…

[@amaruwriter1627]

It seems petty to review the pen with a misaligned nib, which is not aventure of the pen.

[@sbrebrown]

No, it isn't petty. If companies have poor QC, that deserves to be made public, just like I have been doing with Visconti for years. People get very upset when I do this to Chinese brands, but they have no qualms whatsoever with me doing this to Italian brands. Really strange, right?

[@user-penco]

T1 Faker bring me here

[@nickm9370]

Was watching the start of this video and I instinctively reached for the brass Kaweco Sport that permanently lives in my pocket. I wholly agree that the likeness between the caps of these two models is considerable.......

[@flowtalks2548]

I'm new to the hobby. I didn't know the 80% pens from China need some kind of self-manual nib tuning/polishing. Nice pen btw (for the price)!

[@Joe29587]

That's 'cause they generally don't. Most Jinhao and Hongdian nibs write really well out of the box and they're dirt cheap. I wish I could say the same about the German-made Bock nibs.

[@limmoblack]

He hates Chinese pens, as other comments say, NOBODY has problem with them, other than this dude.

[@judyjacobs5827]

Eighty percent? Where did you get that figure? Or did you make it up? Most new pens, regardless of where they were made and the location and brand of the nib notwithstanding, benefit from some nib tweaking, either at time of receipt or later in their lives. Some pens are famous for needing repeated adjustment, and some brands from European companies are generally known for their poorly adjusted nibs, though the pens are costly. Pleas explain what "self-manual" is.

[@sbrebrown]

​@limmoblack I'm sorry I have offended you so much that you feel a need to obsessively return to my videos and leave whiny comments about a person you don't know. I know I'm easy to fall in love with: I'm gorgeous, very intelligent, hilarious, and super modest, but maybe you need to find another object for your desire.

[@limmoblack]

@@sbrebrown Offended??? Haha. Perhaps sort out your obsession of dissing Chinese pens, so you hope to be given 'The Luxury' brands from makers who's expensive pens don't even work out of the 'luxury' box! As stated on the comments NOBODY has problems with Chinese pens, other than you.
