Jinhao Fountain Pens | Pure Pens
When capping and uncapping, here's the place I can notice that this is indeed a cheap pen feel, there's some sort of vibration can be felt that make me feel the price point of this pen. I mean, is nothing big deal, just a faint feeling. For comparison, capping and uncapping on a Kaweco sport, Jinhao 992, X159 felt better. Built quality of JH82 I would say is overall quite good. I think X159 (and even the 992) gives me a better feeling quality pen. I'm liking the Jinhao 82, great little pen. This should adequately illustrate what you are dealing with, if you choose to go down that path yourself: The nib is very very polished and shiny, which is quite good looking in the 2-tone colour. I meant the nib face polish here.

I had to fix each and every one of them, which is not a big problem for me. 10 of them I actually ground into architect. On one pen I even put a Graf von Faber Castell gold nib. It's probably the most expensive Jinhao 82 in the world right now. Well, the colors. I would buy at least the yellow, but I don't want a Pikachu yellow, just a soft pastel. I could say the same of the green. My Jinhao 82 finally arrived, I got the pastel blue with gold trims. The pastel blue is really really pastel, soft looking. I already have two Delike New Moon pens, a blue and a pink. And they are similar in size to the Sailor Sapporo, but fall short (naturally) in terms of writing. But the Delike were two for fifteen, so…

But I do have to admit that literally not a single pen wrote good out of the box, and I don't even have strict standards, but 99% of them had overtightened tines and scratchy as hell. I can assure you that those who make them, Jinhao, have them too, and that their pictures are actual photographic representations of the real thing, not non-photos. 😏
