I'm not currently stocking new pens after our move from house to apartment (although many pens are still available at hisnibs.com/), but I've provided a link to the HongDian fountain pens (other colors are available) mentioned on Amazon below. Should you purchase through one of these links, I will receive compensation.

Thanks! Always nice to see fresh content. Please keep it simple and remember that many subscribers like myself are looking for reviews that will help us decide where we spend our hard earned money. I’ve been in the hobby for 5 years and have seen reviewers abandon their core subscribers after they loose their footing and start talking down on the very inexpensive pens they started their channel with after getting dozens of expensive gold-nib pens every month as handouts.
Looking forward to your videos…

Thanks for the feedback about the somewhat sharp edges. I'm surprised that wasn't caught in quality control. HongDian is usually pretty good in that regard. Glad you're enjoying the pen!

I have the N11 in green with a fine nib and in the same “rhombus” (aka “lozenge” in some descriptions) pattern, and I noticed the same sharp edge around the finial that you point out. I’ve not cut myself on it, but it’s jarring. Otherwise, I like this well-made pen. Mine has an ebonite feed and good flow. I like the pen’s balance, size and weight and the nib is a smooth writer.
I wonder what is going on with the missing O ring on the N9. Like you, I suspect it is accidentally missing, not deliberately omitted.
Edited to add: I watched closely in the InkQuiring Minds video review on the N9 and could not see an O ring when the cartridge converter was revealed under the barrel.

Sorry I missed your comments until now. Thanks for the confirmation about both the sharp edges of the N11, and the 'missing' O-ring on the N9. It's a curious design omission, considering they've been making use of O-rings on almost all of their other models.
