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).

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....
