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.
Thank you for your review and information. I enjoy your inside scoop with information from the factory. I think the 1866 and the Jinhao 92 are my favorite Fountain Pens. The weight and grip is just right for my hands. I'm having trouble getting the 1866 in sandlewood. I ordered one but they sent me an ebony, which I love, but I already have!
