I am not a fan of hooded nibs but i love my Parker 51 and that's why I just got this pen and i wasn't disappointed. For the price there is nothing you can complain about.
I have several of these pens inked with various Noodler's bulletproof inks. The nib is fine enough that they work well for any correspondence, and at this price point staining wouldn't matter. I use them unposted since my hands are smaller, so posting feels a little back-weighted. I've been surprised at how much I enjoy writing with them. I've taken to using them for my main notetaking for the one class I take. Thank you for this thoughtful review.
We call these 'magic be beans'. In bulk they where just over $2.00 each. Yup you bet, inked up in all kinds of inks with no worries. Many have gone off as gifts. Where where these 60 years ago? Thanks Chris
I love Jinhao's hooded nib. It's smaller but have better ink flow than the non hooded F nib counterpart in the same model. The only downside is it's hard to find the right writing angle
I got a couple of this pens to swap nibs with my 992's since at the time they were actually cheaper than buying spare jinhao stub nibs, and they do work very well. I do think that the jinhao 86 I have does feel a bit heftier and 'higher quality' on the hand.
Here are the Direct links to Pilot 100th Anniversary Bishamonten Red, the ink used for this review: ua-cam.com/video/VUFKTRiCc-U/v-deo.html

My pleasure!

I don't mind writing with hooded nibs at all, but I think they do miss out on the ascetic of seeing the nib.

I think this is a missing link to help people come over to fountain pens from the ballpoint.

Their value is super high, and great to have a bunch inked up for others to use.
Great video
Thank you.
I love Jinhao's hooded nib.

The only downside is it's hard to find the right writing angle
It can be difficult to find the correct writing angle some times, and that can be a big issue
I have Jinhao 51A rosewood fountain pen it's amazing to write with
Agreed!
The 51a and the 911 are two of the best value-for-money pens Jinhao makes.
Agreed!
BTW, there is a variation of 51a, with longer barrel only in wood.
I have seen that, doubt I will get one though. Regardless, the wood ones look really nice.

It is beyond me how to get a nib out of these, with out destroying the unit.
Thanks I'll take a closer look. Chris
The quality of the cap alone on the 86 blows my mind.
@@christophergallagher531 only the extra fine comes with a hooded nib, other nib sizes use the same standard nib and feed of the 992
I see.
I did find the 51s swap with Monteverde Monzas, easily.
Jinhao for me is a good brand to try something very new from. I think their quality is far higher than their price.
The 51a is far superior to the current version of the Parker 51 and at a fraction of the price.
I thought it may be worth it to find out if I like the Parker 51 prior to buying one... and I am considering a Parker 51 at the next pen show.
Fair review🎉 a pen for people, a pen of proletariat.
100% true!
