Review- Hongdian S24 Yinglong (Silver Dragon)

Hello Comrade, 

Pro: 

  • I paid CNY 1300 (USD 179 as of the day of posting). USD 180 for a 14K + mostly 925 silver pen, there is no second option out there. 
  • S2, new Hongdian feed, capable of Low Ink Refill. I just can't stress the importance of this charming feature any more. If by now you still have not being aware of this feature, looked into my older videos. Any reasonable price fountain pen manufactured in the planet Earth 2024 onwards, should by law to be equipped with feature. 
  • 35g writing weight, well balanced, comfort in writing.

Con:

  • tone difference between cap and barrel, as picture shown. Under real eye sights, the difference is not that prominent (human eye color white balance auto adjustment).
  • nib tip final finishing - below the standard of steel nib from the same maker. But the writing experience is superb.
  • 925 silver delivers zero benefit to a writing instrument in term of its fundamental function as a piece of writing instrument.  
  • a small number of production under 300 pieces, although it is not intended to be a limited edition, it is literally rarer than any limited production out there claiming of 888 pieces. In other words, most people will be unable to get hold of it. It is uncommon, it is exquisite and bourgeoises. It is not a pen of people. I do not like that. 



YT Review:

Mostly in 925 silver. Here is the illustration from Hongdian, all blue bits are in silver (also the section).
