Hongdian 660 Black Wood Fountain Pen Black Extra Fine Nib, Handcrafted Natural Ebony Writing Pen with Metal Case

The pen measures 139.4mm x 15mm and weights 26g. The cap and barrel is made of wood so the feel is different than pens made of resin or metal (different feel is good as I love collecting pens of all different material). The smooth finish on the wood makes the pen a bit slippery but still easy to hold well during writing. The clip size is normal and functional. The cap takes about 3 rotations to open or close and feels quite smooth. During usage, the cap can be posted on the pen or removed. The dark grey (or black based on lighting) nib writes quite well (I've selected the extra fine nib) - writing sample attached. Overall, the pen is a solid choice for a daily carry pen for anyone.

The entire line of the HongDian in extra fine writes great. I have several. Ink flows even, lines are well defined and actually "extra fine". I use Waterman ink in the converter. Ink does not clog or skip in this pen. The pen feels good in my hand and is great looking.

The fit and finish on this pen is top notch, especially considering the price. The nib is larger than other hongdian that I have and is beautifully black. The engraving is also very precise on the nib and barrel.The writing is also very smooth, because this is a F, it’s smoother than the hongdian 525 that I regularly use. It’s still very fine comparing western counterparts, I’d say western EF. Nib is smooth and lays down a fair amount of ink. Writing experience is superbOne star is knocked off because it’s not 100% sealed. I inked this with a iron gall ink (R&K scabiosa) and after more than 24-36 hours of not using, the pen experiences a dry start, may have to shake it a bit for the feed to start flowing. This especially apparent when the pen is stored nib up. The ink is noticeably drier and darker during dry start. This could be the ink but very unlikely, I will try other ink that’s more forgiving/lubricating and “wetter”

Good quality for the price. I like the detail of the wood, and that it is unique.

Broken wood on the pen body when arrived. The nib writes just OK, but it is a higher price China made pen (compare to JinHao) yet has disappointing quality.

I was looking for a pen with a fine nib, and this seemed reasonable. It is well made with good grooves for screwing the body and cap together. It will obviously take a little time to break the pen in, but so far it has done very well. I thought that it would be scratchy and irregular, but it flows very nicely and I like the larger diameter of the pen. One touch that I thought was very nice is that there is a ball inside the piston Ink reservoir which should help with ink flow and refilling. This is a great purchase if you like very fine nibs. I wish I could remember to post back in a month and see if I feel the same.

Feels really cheap. I missed the return window otherwise I’d return it

The Black Ebony Wood fountain pen (with an Extra Fine nib) looks gorgeous, feels great to hold and writes VERY smooth. This pen is a big “yes !” for yourself and/or as an IMPRESSIVE gift.

Ademas de que es una hermosa pluma, muy elegante y sobria, la punta extra-fina deja escribir suave y preciso con la tinta necesaria. Hermosa para incluir en la colección y funcional para hacerla tu pluma de diario.

¡Me encanta!La pluma, es liviana y su punto fino se desliza suavemente sobre el papel.He estado analizando el material, y confirmé que es madera, la forma en que la luz rebota en la pluma permite que se vean las tramas de la madera y se aprecian las betas.

I don't know if this is what I should expect from this company, but the cap had hairline cracks that continues to crack open.

Non pensavo che, con un costo accettabile, mi sarei trovata con una penna veramente splendida! É perfetta: non perde inchiostro il suo pennino extra fine scivola morbido sulla carta. Per le cartucce è però necessario comprare quelle suggerite, della stessa marca della penna❤️

La pluma estilográfica de calidad y muy buena escritura.
