What you should know: If you're considering this pen, be aware of potential quality issues. It may not be a lasting investment, but it's an enjoyable pen to use while it lasts.In the beginning, this pen seemed like a dream come true. With its sleek finishing, balanced weight, and elegant design, it was the perfect writing instrument for both casual and professional use. However, after a month of regular use, the pen began to reveal a significant flaw: a leak where the nib attaches to the body.While the pen is relatively inexpensive, this issue raises questions about its quality control. Some users might find a perfect piece with no problems, but others, like myself, may encounter this frustrating leak. I have several of these pens, and while some have performed flawlessly, a few have not.It's important to know what you're getting into with this pen. It might not be a long-term solution, but it can still be a fun and cost-effective tool for writing.

No dislikes. As with most Jinhao pens, the price is low. I find larger pens more comfortable in the my hand and this is a large pen; not as large as the 9019, but substantial with an ink capacity and nib size to match. The nib says F. All of my pens are and the width of the lines vary greatly. This one flows plenty of ink and makes a line on the wide side of fine. Glad I bought it. You want a big, fat pen? Try the Jinhao 9019. Also a great buy!

One out of the three was extremely well but the other two were in fair condition, if all three are in the same good writing quality, it worth a six stars.

This Jinhao X159 feels great in my hand. It's similar in styling to the Montblanc 149 and writes nearly as good. The medium nib was smooth and wet - the way it should be. Great value.

It's a lovely pen with a great writing experience. Well made and comfortable. I had to fine tune the nib but for this price it was completely worth it.

These are really quite excellent fountain pens. 3/3 wrote beautifully smooth out of the gate, requiring no nib adjustments. It includes a converter in each pen. It's a big size pen but light and comfortable even for writing long notes. Overall very happy with the purchase.Tip: Flush your pen with plain water before use. The feed looks as if it's been dipped in blue ink for testing prior to shipment from factory. For a pen at this price point it's incredible that they would go through the trouble.

Una pluma fuente grande, con plumín grande, con convertidor de buena capacidad, por un precio muy pequeño. No le pide nada a los modelos de entrada de las marcas más conocidas.

The Jinhao x159 is an incredible value for the money. The Jinhao nib on this pen (size 8) is much better than the Jinhao #6 nibs I have experienced before, so the writing is very much better than expected. The F flows well, runs on the wider side for a F (unlike typical Asian nibs) and is smooth. There are a lot of steel nibs out there for more money than this entre pen costs that don't write as well. Impressive size but light weight (it is a plastic pen, after all). The #8 nib adds to the impression that this is a luxury pen. Overall, it looks like a much more expensive pen. It writes like a more expensive pen. The heft gives it away as a less expensive pen. But the build quality is excellent. This would make a great gift as a starter pen (but not for small hands) or a giveaway to anyone entering the hobby. As it is, I find myself gravitating to one of my x159s on a near daily basis, despite owning dozens of much more expensive pens.

La spedizione è avvenuta con moltissimo anticipo rispetto alla data prevista, tre settimane almeno. La penna è arrivata imballata con cura e non presenta difetti. La qualità costruttiva, rapportata al prezzo, è veramente notevole, e devo dire che scrive anche decisamente bene. E' la terza Jinhao che compro (x450, x750, x159), e sono ancor più soddisfatto che con i modelli precedenti.

My order arrived more than a week ahead of schedule which I appreciate because 2 will be given as gifts over Thanksgiving. My only complaint is that I ordered (as clearly stated in the product description) but was sent nib pens. It's not enough to send them back because my intended recipient likes extra fine lines. For me, I am looking for as close to buttery-smooth as I can get and with the , I feel there is always going to be some light feedback because this just comes with the territory of an extra fine.That being said, these pens are fantastic. They are beefy in the hand, but the grip section is very moderate in thickness. I don't typically post my pens, but it can be posted securely and the cap doesn't back-weigh the pen too much so if you prefer to post this pen, it's ok. Speaking of the cap, it threads on and off with 2 and 1/4 turns. I would love a snap-cap with this model, but I understand the 'inspiration' for the X159 and they certainly stay true to that. I'm using the blue with a converter which holds a small to moderate amount of ink although I think standard international cartridges would work also and may or may not give more ink capacity. The nib doesn't lay down much ink so the converter should last a while.Overall, this is a very nice pen - suitable for every day use - quick notes or long writing sessions. Dependable writer with classic elegant styling (even if copied) and good build quality. For this price, it is an incredible value!
