China Pen Monthly Digest 2025

Important/Interesting Pens by Month. Updated as it is released. First thing first, why keep buying? On China Pen Makers In pipeline but with no certain release date (first known date) Hongdian Han (Nov, 2023) is said to be released in Jul, 2025. Hongdian Titanium series of four models, including #8 Piston (Feb, 2025), one of which, T1 was released in Feb, 2025. Majohn P139 Demonstrator (Mar, 2025) Majohn P137 Snake Titanium Piston (Feb, 2025) Junlai 630 Line Major Upgrade, new steel nib in F/M/B and possible more (Mar, 2025) Junlai 930 Flat top (Sep, 2024) Junlai 930 Flat top Panda and a special edition limited in 2025 (Apr, 2025) Junlai pocket pen (Apr, 2025) Penbbs Snorkel (Feb, 2025) 2025.09 Lemon M8 - #6 steel nib (regular, hand grinded, naginata, 3 variations of grindings) , piston, uncap 26g. China MSRP USD30. Interesting Rate: 1/5. Because:1. this pen is born in wrong time, already packed with piston and gimmick & useless grinding; 2. 26g is unpractica...

Hongdian Ti1866/T1 Review

(draft, YT Review video to be loaded) Firstly, I rename this pen from T1 to Ti1866, because T1 is literally the titanium version of 1866 ( review here , update of ugly peeling coating). Why not adding a prefix rather than giving a total irrelevant name of T1? Hongdian is not giving a thought here, or simply never did. This pen was released on Jan 22nd and out of stock in the blink of an eye . Pro A titanium pen, despite being a lazy version of converter, China MSRP at USD14, is a no brainer. ergonomically an EDC pen, not something symbolic fat ass baton pen. Low Ink Refill. My this copy of China Knot nib gives a feedback + flex on par with Sailor Profit ($160) 21K nib. I can not guarantee that you are receiving the exactly same nib, due to recent inconsistency from HD. Con I see no Hongdian distinctive design language. unserviceable converter. all titanium is prone to scratch. especially in this case, the ti cap thread is scratching the ti section....

Review- Majohn P139 Expedition

The first leak of this pen dated back to Nov, 2023. After some regular delays, it was launched yesterday. The high price due to: 1. ebonite feed - but it does not come with Low Ink Refill function 2. all metal piston components - why? MB Hemingway with all metal piston mechanism? so, both "upgrade specifications" do not actually deliver any "upgrade in function". Pro: quite a bit vintage pen look, homage to MB Hemingway, don't sleep old man don't sleep. Con: expensive, compared with other makers with similar specifications. no Low Ink Refill function. ( I bought another P139 in Feb, 2025, which comes with LIR ) when posted, the cap will rest on piston knob and turn it with ease (pictures near the end).
