Review_ Hongdian 1866

 launched in Oct, 2023.  

Pro: 

  • this pen is capable of "Low Ink Intake Position" with new designed feed with in-house material of "Hongnite". That's a big plus.

  • supreme comfort section diameter of 9.3-10.7mm, featuring a slightly milk bottle neck (trim in middle) design provides with a grip of pleasure. The grip was polished silver plated, but I find it no slippy. 

  • total uncap weight of 23.8g with 0.7ml of conventional ink converter, a handballed weight. 

  • high polished silver plated cap, section and finial. Just dazzling to look at. 


Con:

  • ink capacity of 0.7ml is just industry norm in 2024. Given the Jinhao 9016 & 9016 Dadao is equipped with a monster converter of 2ml capacity, I expect a solution from Hongdian to head up this challenge. 

  • high polished material is prone to scratch, bear with it.
