Hi! Just ordered a couple of Jinhao x159 for me and my wife. Hopefully they will be delivered next week ๐Ÿคž

Anyone got experience with these pens?

I've got two! I love how chonky the pen is. It writes quite well out of the box. It just felt a bit dry for me, but I love wet pens so that's probably a me thing. I just tuned the nib to write wetter.

People say it's a copy of the MB 149. I've never tried a Montblanc, since it's out of my price range, but I'm quite glad to have a cheaper alternative because the thickness of the Jinhao x159 is perfect for my death grip haha.

I cannot compare it to a MB 149 either! ๐Ÿ˜…

But I'm excited to try a really chunky pen - I'm used to Safaris, AL-Stars and Kaweco Sports :)
