[@zathrasnotzathras655]

Absolutely the most brutal and honest review I’ve ever seen. Parker should see this and fix themselves. Thanks for the review. You saved me some coin.

[@SFKenK]

My sentiments exactly. Thanks PenBoyRoy for saving my wallet from a plain money grab.

[@j.e.madrigal]

I agree 100% with your review. Without buying or using one, I can tell immediately that Parker has dropped the ball on this version of the legendary 51. My mom, who passed away on Dec. 19th 2020, brought her 1957 Parker 51 from Cuba when we came in 1971. Several years ago, before she was stricken with Alzheimer’s, she gave me the pen. It writes beautifully, and it’s a solid pen. I also have the original box that came with it. So sad to see what Parker has done this time around. This, NJ resident, thanks you for your reviews! Stay Safe!

When WingSung makes a better Parker 51 than Parker

[@idipbananasintocoffee]

Hear ye hear ye!

[@muskndusk]

Yep, there are some great Chinese Parker 51 imitations that are better than the Parker 'copy' sounds.

[@idipbananasintocoffee]

@@muskndusk notably Wing Sung 601

[@muskndusk]

@@idipbananasintocoffee I have a Hero 616. The Wing Sung 601 is a bit pricey for a Chinese pen, in my opinion.

[@idipbananasintocoffee]

@@muskndusk I haven't tried the Hero 616, but I've tried the Jinhao 51a, and that's not bad either, and it's cheap :) I just love the WS 601 and 618 for the filing systems.

[@johnnymontalvo5620]

For the money of the standard version, you can just buy a vintage, gold-nibbed, Parker 51, and be much happier.

[@MJFallout]

Not in perfect condition, certainly not boxed, but yes; and it will be: a nicer resin, a far higher quality cap (quite possibly gold filled), a superior filling mech., restored and tested by hand (by a fellow enthusiast) etc. One could also opt for a cheaper alternative like a 51 Special, 45, 61, 65, 21, 17 DeLuxe (and certainly others I don't know...)

[@AppelboomPennen]

Thank you for the amazing review PenBoyRoy!

[@EddieLlamas]

"They have lost their minds" pretty much sums up Parker today.

[@paulx7620]

That's a huge blow to thier fan base. Something that has such a following being disrespected by thier own company. Great care must be made in tribute to an icon. Thanks Roy!

[@oscarmedina1597]

I think a lot of Roy’s comments can also apply to other pen manufacturers. No one should be resting on their past laurels. There’s a lot of quality competition out there, and we the consumers are more savvy and expect VALUE not just a brand.

[@johnblackburn3331]

A new old stock (NOS) Parker 51 can be found on Ebay for around $200. A restored Parker 51 can be found in the range of $100 - $150. For that you get a 14k gold nib, a filling system that holds a lot of ink, a barrel made of virtually unbreakable and scratch resistant plastic, and a metal cap that you don't have to screw on.

[@EddieLlamas]

Shows how out of touch Parker's current owners are. They just make crap now that's given as gifts to graduates. I'd say most of the people that buy any lower end Parker pens don't know any better.

[@qvisionstudios]

"Included free serving of disappointment" is so on the mark. Looks like they're trying to capitalize on the history. Unfortunately this model seems to be made by someone who just finished pen making 101. I'll be cherishing my Dad's old Parkers instead. Not even going to buy a cap! Thanks again for telling it like it is Roy.

[@bartgrossman9361]

Newell Brands has destroyed three great historic pen makers - Parker, Waterman and Rotring. Rotring no longer makes fountain pens and Waterman and Parker make cheap crap for high prices. It's really sad to see these great brands brought so low.

[@FrancoisTHX]

They are indeed milking the brands dry...

[@marilyngardner4269]

If anyone wants a modern pen that is a throwback to an earlier model and has a hooded nb, I'd suggest a modern Aurora Duocart instead. It's a nice looking pen, writes well, seems to feature good materials, and comes with gorgeous packaging befitting its heritage. It also comes with a converter. 😁 It's not the best pen in my collection, but a better way to "scratch the itch" for a vintage-looking pen with a hooded nib than the new Parker 51.

[@nmcduff4891]

Excellent, even outstanding, review. I was already a subscriber, but this is an evolutionary event in how pen reviews should be done. Bravo young man.

[@PenBoyRoy]

Hehe… I like being called young man… hehe. Makes me happy. Thank you for the comment!

[@sbremser]

Thank you for your review. I expected this pen would be a disappointment compared to the real Parker 51 (I have a real 51). You have saved fountain pen enthusiasts everywhere from shelling out for an imitation.

[@ExiledExia]

Fantastic review!! I was waiting for this one! Keep up the awesome work bro

[@bry_o]

I was just about to buy this on goldspot but changed my mind after watching the review. Sorry, Tom’s Beard. 😞

[@GoldspotPens]

No worries. Would rather have you buy a pen that you love ❤️

[@mariopellegrino7661]

Parker could've done so great with this pen. A twist cap? What were they thinking?

[@Quinty_Dragons]

I would recommend that you review the Wing Sung 601, 601A with the wraparound nib, the 601 stainless steel version and not the 601-2020 with the non hooded nib. The pens are great writer with vac filler.

[@ahalfkorean]

Roy, you saved me some money! Thanks for the review!

[@PenBoyRoy]

Thats what I like to hear

[@mauriciolacruz]

Are all Parker converters compatible with all models? I mean, are for instance old Parker converters from the 90's (i.e. Parker Sonnet) compatible with current 2021 Parker 51? I'm asking because I tried to fit a converter from a 90's Sonnet into a modern 2021's 51 and it looks like I need to push hard (slimmer body on the 51? / thicker diameter on the old converter?), but I didn't to avoid damaging any of both.

[@michaelmotz3228]

Oh, man! Bummer. I bought two of these when they became available for pre-order: one teal blue with a medium nib and the other burgundy with a fine nib. It's somewhat comforting that I only paid $64.12 per pen, but still ... if I had waited and seen this review first I wouldn't have. Excellent, to-the-point review.

[@sakibaman1777]

You saved me from a complete waste of my money. Thanks man!!

[@luckyoleary9626]

Thankyou. It's good to see a 'warts and all' review because this genuinely helps the community, and pen manufacturers to understand shortfalls.

[@linevariation]

So this standard version seems largely a parts bin pen and the money they didn’t spend engineering new components went nowhere else. Not into packaging & presentation, not into marketing, not into a converter or even a *second cartridge.* As you said, it’s laziness or apathy. Both are aggravating. Doubly so when trading on all the history and equity of the old 51.

[@jasondaniel918]

Well, laziness, apathy - or greed.

[@linevariation]

@@jasondaniel918 Yeah, that’s possible. I was trying to give them some benefit of the doubt along the line of don’t attribute to malice (or greed) that which could be adequately explained by stupidity.

[@hk-wv2rl]

Great review very detailed and to the point, the company did not do any prelaunch marketing nor is there any mention of the new 51 on their web site. Thanks again

[@douglasbranch4419]

Thank you! Had no desire to buy this pen, but you elucidated all my reasons for not buying one. Always appreciate your honesty. Be well.

[@brettsmith1655]

"Also included, is a free serving of disappointment"...... Kind of sad that you let this gold gem hide out in the middle of the review. This is one of your top five, for sure. Do you think that the nib is hooded so that we can't read "JinHao" on the top of it?

[@EddieLlamas]

He said it looks like it's the same nib they put on the Jotter/Vector (old IM and Urban). Honestly, a JinHao nib is probably better. I have about 5 or 6 of those Parker nibs and only one of the them is a decent writer.

[@jasonbraden8079]

You are so right. I only wished I saw this review before I ordered. It came today and this is a huge disappointment. No converter and cap is so cheap looking, all I will be doing is repeating what you said. This is an embarrassment to the brand name. I never return pens and never complain but this pen is really bad.

[@CosminMiron]

So that's how Wing Sung 601 prices will sky-rocket soon... Wonderful opinion and great review! 🎩

[@yuklimka7251]

I really appreciate the no-nonsense approach to this pen review. It corroborates what I've heard other reviewers say. Thank you.

[@oldladywithacamera]

Just found your video and am wondering whether you know what to do with a 51 with a stuck cap. I got this purely for nostalgia since I got one for my middle school graduation a century ago. Have written to Parker, but have had no response. Got it from Goldspot and am planning to call them. Thanks. Any help would be appreciated.

[@psychophipps]

Pretty sad when a Wing Sung 601 smokes a Parker product at under 1/5 the MSRP.

[@parkerhowell646]

I have a standard version, it writes the same as the Hero knock off I have. I just sent the Parker back for a refund and will be using my vacumatic 51 daily again.

[@psychophipps]

@@parkerhowell646 Bummer! Glad they honored your refund!

[@t-72ba]

Thank you for the nice review for it. At first time I saw the design of it, I started to worry that they don't understand their heritage. Also I thought like you. After the end of Parker England in 2012, The Parker Pen Company became an empty shell. That's what I think about this brand for now. We didn't want that expensive screw capped 51ish self-made clone. I just can't understand. Why they did like this.

[@wittwittwer1043]

I agree entirely with your review of the poorly "resurrected" Parker 51. I have a couple of vintage ones, and they are decent FPs. One thing your review didn't notice was the new pen's hood; it doesn't fit the nib as closely as a vintage hood, but more like the hood of an Aurora Duo Cart.

[@dashsunil]

Okay writing experience for 87.2 dollars! I am staying away. 😊

[@SirTavvi]

I have a parker 51 from 1951ish should I still be using it?

[@mangoeruption]

Thanks for your insights! Was interested to see what people had to say about this pen.

[@jonahdesrochers9156]

So glad I watched this. I'll be looking for something else. Thanks for the review!

[@NM8B]

I already didn't like the twist on cap, the material looked cheap for the cost but when you said it was the same nib as the jotter; that killed it. I was really looking forward to an affordable 51 that I was not afraid to take to work and lose or destroy. I don't know why companies try to bring back a legend with out anything that made it a legend! its just lazy and disrespectful to the customer.

[@joseazurdia6995]

So they made what is, basically, an expensive copy of a Psrker 51 knockoff :-(

[@garykarlin1777]

Not to pile on, but I love using my two c1960 51s, as well as my $5 Hero 616 knockoff. They all have fully hooded nibs; I'd call the new 51 semi-hooded. You can generally get a well-restored 1950s-1960s 51 with a gold nib for less than the new version.

[@nighmeansnear]

This is the same company that stuck a fake nib to the front of a nylon tipped fine-liner and tried to sell it for eighty bucks or something. It's not even their first offense.

[@SUSSDUE]

Thanks for a very honest review! I just went to my pen drawer and took out my old 51:s and 21: and gave them a pat and took out two of them to ink up. Always nice to be reminded of old loves that has been forgotten for a while. The best 51 I have was found while working in an archive and noone wanted it so it came home w me. It was one of the beginnings of my pen addiction. I had no idea how to fill the pen so had to search on the internet and fell down the rabbit hole. So finding an old Parker 51 can be dangerous!!!! I was never tempted to get the new one, Parker as a pen making company is so far away from what it was. I go for vintage ones, especially those who were made on license by the Penol company in Denmark. Those are fabulous writers, often w a wonderful flex. But the new ones, no, just meh.... The blue colour is nice, but for a company trying to remake and old favourite without any regard for quality, that is just a recipe for disaster because they cannot fool the pen community!

[@Johan-vk5yd]

I agree! The Penol pens with semi-hooded nibs are great writers. ”Penshoppen” in Gothenburg has some NOS for sale. My specimen is an inherited one.

[@EddieLlamas]

Nice. My wife's grandpa gave me his "51" and that was also the start of my fountain pen addiction.

[@jamesstephenpeyton3305]

I use. daily the 51 my father gave my mother the day I was born. She wrote poetry. It was 1951. Gold and Burgundy. She always used green ink as do I.

[@GonzoTheRosarian]

First mistake: a threaded cap! A real Parker 51 is like having a Chevy Impala without round tail lights. A 51 needs a snap cap. Then there is the price...mmmm. I will stick with buying vintage 51s when available. I have 2 and love them.

[@jimmusgrave8691]

Great review. 100% agree with every point. I love the original 51, and I wish I had seen this review before I bought one.

[@PenBoyRoy]

Hey look. Now that you have it, try to like it.

[@TheCoomer]

So is it worth getting the Stainless steel nip version today?

[@MarcusGLovesWatches]

Harsh but fair review PBR - pedestrian effort from Parker

[@johnbranch17]

so i have around 30 vintage parker 51 ones... i was really wanting to buy one or two of these... (i think i am a fanboy) but thank you for this wonderful review... i agree with everything you said... so i won t buy one. thank you again!

[@jackliu7326]

Do you know where I’d be able to buy a new plunger system for a vintage Parker 51. I have one with a busted plunger and really want to buy an vintage plunger system but can’t seem to find any online

[@muskndusk]

I have a Hero 616 which is nicer than this, because it only cost a couple of pounds. After I'd smoothed the nib, it's now a wonderfully, wet medium-broad writer. (It became medium-broad after I'd worked on the nib, but what did I have to lose?)

[@Diffusion8]

Thanks man, you just saved me 100 bucks, I'll stick with my vintage 51s 👍🏻😊 Subbed

[@sistergoldenhair0727]

Excellent review of this shitty pen! Just what people needed to hear so they don’t buy just based on the brand name and a misplaced sense of nostalgia. I really don’t like hooded nibs anyway except for the Lamy 2000 and that’s only because the pen is a phenomenal writer. I bought a Parker jitter by mistake one time and hated it so I had no intention of buying this pen anyway, but I was interested in hearing what you had to say about it. Thanks again for such a thorough and honest review!

[@tedscheckler1]

1. You picked up a new subscriber! 2. Exactly what I feared. I’ve been less than impressed with Parker for a while. I just worried it would be a cheap pen with a hood. Looks to be that way. I have a couple 51s (and I’m not a “purist”, they’re not my favorites at all), but this just seems like milking the nostalgic for money.

[@idipbananasintocoffee]

Thank you for this video. I definitely do not want to spend that much money on something that's so underwhelming. I am now thinking it'd be better to get the Jinhao 85! Stay safe and healthy.

[@jasondaniel918]

Thanks for a very good review. However brutal, it is honest. I am an old guy, Roy. In my childhood and youth, Parker 51's were current production items. I LOVED this pen model and have every type 51 Parker made - vac fillers, aerometrics, etc. Frankly, I do not know how many 51's I currently own. Maybe three dozen? I have a steel nib version of this retread model on order. (And I knew to order a converter.) No matter how disappointed I might be, I want to have at least one example so I can form my own opinion. Now that I am geriatric and functioning with Swiss cheese for brains, my biggest concern with the reissue is that I will forget the cap is threaded! 😜

[@marcelmaes5275]

Yes Roy (?) is was helpfull. I was going to see or even buy this pen (here in Europe it costs 95 euro's) but your review made me decide to not get it. As for the writing itself - wasn't that what pens are made for? - it may be good but there are enough pens that probably write just as good. Thanks!

[@alikazmi6597]

I have lost atleast 550 USD equivalent of currency in my country on modren Parker, sheaffer and waterman pens. To be very honest, all of new models and their makers have lost their mind. So i shifted to new old models and they still work more better than new dumbs. Also thanks for very professional and comprehensive review.

[@richardalanduncan]

I own four vintage 51’s. Thanks for your honest review. Truly, this pen is disappointing. Hopefully, people will go after the vintage ones. I was under the impression that they made the 51 pens starting in 1939. I could be wrong, but I’m not sure they ever used cartridge converters in the 51s. I think that came in with the Parker 45s.

[@dollishillwork]

Perfect review. I must admit I am a fan of the original P51, and own four of them, and I use one of them daily. This new P51 is a very poor immitation of the original legend. If a pen survives 60 or 70 years, and writes perfectly every day, it must be a very, very good pen, and that was the case with the original P51, an all time great pen.

[@tobymulder196]

Excellent review. My fist real pen was a 51 I bought in 1967, and it still writes well. .

[@RJCichocki]

9:32 you mentioned it uses the same nib as the Jotter. Is there a photo comparison? Sad if it truly is. You mentioned this is your second Parker review but it sounds like you are a lifetime user of the brand? This is my first PenBoyRoy video. The over dramatic graphics and presentation and read is a nice reminder to how silly we all take this hobby. A pen that gets scratched is a pen well used. Thanks for the video.

Parker has forever killed the P51/61 ... so sad. It was the pen I used for ages. It was the pen I used since I started using a pen. Now they cynically made tried to pull a fast one on the consumers. P51 is forever sullied. I received a message from Iguana Sell and I was going to purchase 12 of the gold and plum pens but as soon as I saw the pics something was not right. It looked like a hotter. I wrote to Parker wondering if it was a Jotter and they never replied back. I will NEVER by a Parker again. Such a cynical money grab for a shoddy product. Bye Bye Parker.

[@williamcrane1]

Thanks for your honest evaluation of this pen. I own two Parker pens - Duofold Centennial “Big Red” and the humble Parker IM. I also own other fine and costly pens. I had bee toying with buying the 51, mainly because of the hooded nib, but now I don’t think it worth the price. The only other hooded nib pens I have are Jinhao shark pens which write every time I uncap them. I do love my Duofold but will pass on the 51.

[@EddieLlamas]

You can probably find a vintage "51", with gold nib, for a few more dollars than you'd pay for the SS version of this crappy one, and for about $100 less than the gold nib version.

I have accumulated a number of Parker 51s over my fountain pen collecting experience. I don't believe there's been a single one that didn't function fine after a good cleaning, and some of these pens are from the late 40s early 50s. The ink reservoir on these pens is very durable, almost amazingly so. I may pick up one of these new versions just to try, as soon as I get tired of using my vintage ones.

[@timyoungnc]

Great review. Sad to hear about this take on the Parker 51. I was hoping it would be something I'd want to buy but very doubtful I'd buy this. I see they do have a ballpoint Parker 51, I wonder how that is?

I dont know. I dont use ballpoints.

[@Zmiana_Pogody]

Would you please review the premium "plum" version with gold nib? (With M nib if possible ;)) The problem is, that new 51 in premium version is really good looking pen for some (...me including of course). Such a review would be great sequel for this [indeed excellent] movie! ps. Subscribed :)

[@grahamekellermeier8280]

A classic pen you have some good vidio PlayboyRon.

[@adriangaylard9523]

As a vintage Parker fan, this looks so disappointing. I wonder if it's fair to say that the 2021 51 is more of an overpriced spiritual successor to the 21 which was designed to have similar design vibes to the 51 but was made with cheaper materials? The great thing about the 21 was it actually writes reliably and nicely was actually cheap and still is. So I'd say this new 51 sounds like a miss even in that comparison.

[@Ken-wz9vy]

Well from this review and your nib comparison to the Parker Jotter. I had pre-ordered the Teal with a fine point nib. It hasn't arrived yet. No I'm disappointed before it even arrives. I thought I was getting something from history. To me the filling mechanism didn't matter. I feel like I've been fooled by Parker. Guess I'll inquire about returning the pen. 😕🙁

[@steveconquest6684]

Phenomenal review of this modern day usurper. I think I will stick with my 50 vintage P-51s. Actually I just need one more to say I have 51 P-51s. Thank you for a straight-up and truly honest review.

[@mrpilotsapien7705]

When I heard they wanted to bring it back is what hurt the most. "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"..... they broke it...... and they shouldn't try to fix it. Parker is indeed my favorite American pen company. It was my first (25 flighter) and infected me with the virus (and happily thriving I thank you). To have seen what they have currently and to see what other titan pen companies are doing... (cough, cough making new creations and fitting in with the market).. it hurts to know they've only done so much and stopped. Reminds me of Jordan shoes. when he stopped at his last shoe, he simply started just making them in different colors and oddly enough people are going ape shitake mushrooms over them. Its aa continuing success. My beloved Parker, ill chuck it up to because you've been bought by many hands and have (not what i'm trying to say) > lost your originality. Cest la vie. I have a lot to say but this isnt a podcast.....

[@failedgrace2891]

Great review and my initial impulse of a hard pass when I saw it with a steel nib at that price was about on the nose. I don't know much of the show, but Wanda in the comics was considered one of the most powerful mutants in existence. Case in point, at one time she stripped something like 90% of the mutants in the world of their mutations.
