Shanghai Knife Dude

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. when posted, the cap will rest on piston knob and turn it with ease (pictures near the end).

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 2025.01 Asvine C2000 - 1st Jan- Interesting Rate 1/5 due to nothing unique. 1.1 Stub on #8 steel nib could be attractive to some. launched on new year day exclusively on Amazon.com. If a nib with #8 or larger is not equipped with LIR, which will be extremely unpractical during refilling. Majohn C5 ( Review ) - 6th Jan - Interesting Rate 5/5. I name the filling system as Trudeau Filling System, because: Justin Trudeau resigns from Canada MP on the same day. The C5 filling system resembles to the speaker used on Trudeau's resignation speech.

Review - Majohn Ti136 (P136 in titanium)

Ti136 is a name I gave it to. The official name is "P136 Titanium". It is titanium, and it is a variation of P136, why not call it Ti136. what a splendid name! Well, the entire May and June were just mostly quiet for China pen industry. HD launched some pen in the mid of June, which did not stir that much of wave. As a tradition, Majohn delays. But it was delayed from June to first week of July, which is a huge improvement. Does anyone still remember how long the P136 was delayed? It was 2 years! Pro: two surface finishing, matt & hammer functional piston cap (and more parts) is interchangeable with MontBlanc 146, if you bother. Con: titanium is cheap, but processing titanium costs a fortune. Matt version, prone to scratch. I already scratched mine in 5 minutes and 38 seconds the box was opened. To sum up, I bet Ti136 will again be kind of "one off deal". Remember what happened to Ti500 (Majohn version of Lamy2000)? The shelf time lasted 2 weeks, and th...
