Awesome construction and writing feel

Awesome construction and writing feel. I would have given it 5 stars but I didn't like the cheap logo printing. It is the only weak point on this great brand. What were they thinking?

great feel, works as expected, I like the ultr-fine touch. Only cons at this point is that the writing feels a little rough but that may change as its gets worn in a little bit.

I am got this pen kit as a congratulations on my new job (first real job outside of college.) I've often heard you can be judged by the type of pen you own, but sort of though it was a ridiculous concept until I was gifted this beauty. Just the weight and feel of it is grand and luxurious. I am absolutely in love with the way it writes and have to stop myself from using it all the time, as it's not really made for grocery lists.
The bamboo exterior is smooth and helps fit my grip nicely. I love how the case and pen match so well. i did have some trouble filling it at first, but as I said I also never owned a pen as nice as this, so there was a bit of a learning curve. I've received a few compliments at work, so I guess it's true what they say! I'm extremely happy with this gift and will keep in mind as a gift to give in the future.

Nice balance and feel with a thick smooth ink. Makes writing enjoyable.

Great pencil, great build quality. Extremely durable and nice to hold and look at. Pressing the lead advance button feels nice and button feels solid. Grip is surprusingly comfortable during long periods of writing. Pencil is nose heavy.

Now if only I could stop myself from losing these things.

I absolutely love the way this feels, it has a nice grip to that you just don't find in many pencils. It almost feels as I am righting with a pen. I'd recommend this to people who grip their pencils tightly as they they write. It has a nice smooth and natural feel to it.

The Jinhao 159 writes smoothly, and feels SO GOOD in your hand using it, it's almost a sensual feeling to write!
Try it, and you'll be giving them out as "Thank You!" and "Congratulations!" gifts!
BE ADVISED: My wife though the idea "The idea of using a fountain pen is ridiculous!"
She tried mine, and using it a few moments said: "Order 4 more!" When her pen ran out of ink, I had to take her another at work!

And while you're at it, order yourself a bottle of the Bulletproof EEL Noodler's Fountain Pen Ink-Black, to go with the pen! You'll be glad you did!

Feels heavy in hand built like a tank like old school drafting pencils. I get compliments on anyone who see or uses it. Get the good ink and it writes better than a Mont Blanc pen.

1. Looks amazing, and a little different. Especially the nib color is spectacular.

2. Feels amazing - the laser etched grip thing is really worth it, the weight (beware it is fairly heavy) is perfect for me as it literally stabilizes my hand and it also feels very sturdy, trustworthy :)

3. Writes very well - and for the price, it writes superbly

It's my only writing tool these days.

The pen feels very comfortable to both write and draw with! It comes with both a brush tip and a fine tip, but I'd say the fine tip almost has a brush quality to it as well, allowing for bold and thin lines, but with more control and the brush tip obviously allowing for much thicker lines. If you're a novice like me, it'll take some practice to really master, but not so much that you'll feel totally inept on your first try. It doesn't smear at all when colored over with my Prismacolor markers, dries pretty quickly, and doesn't bleed through my sketch book paper. I highly recommend it to everyone!

I'm all about a cross between function and beauty, and this pen fits both perfectly. The aluminum housing is light and sturdy, the overall construction feels very solid and yet no bulky. Smooth writing with the fine steel nib; even details such as the ink are thought of, with a good consistent flow. Very happy with my purchase.

The seller was amazingly prompt with the delivery, and I have no complaints. 5 stars from me!

Purchased this to use with my iPad 2. Haven't tried other styli so I have nothing to compare this to. But I can say it feels nice to hold. Construction is great. All metallic. Has a flexible rubber tip. The red color is also really nice (more like metallic red). Size is about 3/4th of a ball-point pen. Fits well in your hand. No notable difference between holding it and holding a regular pen.

I use it mostly for some pdf annotations and writing notes on the iPad. Coupled with a good note-taking app, the stylus is great. (Yes, the app makes a big difference. The most important feature you want to look for, in my opinion, is close-up writing. Without that, your notes would look like the scribbles of a 5-year-old. The two apps that I use are Upad and Notes Plus, in case you intend to use it for note-taking too . To each its merits; won't get into that here, but you can ask me about them if interested..)

Again, I have not used other styli, so whether this particular one is better than the rest is a point I cannot address. But I do like it. Recommended.

I did not expect these to write so smoothly.  Love the feel.

Not that I do it very often, but this pen is awesome. It writes on any paper on any direction. It is nice and heavy and has a great feeling to it. It is smooth in writing and doesn't require me to press down with the pen on paper very hard. I use high gloss Arc page inserts when I write with this pen. I haven't had much experience in writing on standard printer paper. Perhaps thats the difference. Either way, I love the pen. Highly recommend it.

I really enjoy the feel of this pen. I was especially surprised to find that it uses the same ink cartridges (Pilot G2).

There are definitely some areas for improvement with the physical design though. For one, the blot-action is very rough. I ended up deconstructing the pen and putting a finer finish on the interior piece. That and a bit of graphite did the trick. I also ended up rounding the edges of the clip a bit more to prevent the edges from snagging and ripping anything.

In the two months since buying this, I've permanently lost one of the rubber rings on the grip. While I like the texture they provide, they're sure to vanish soon. I think I would have prefered a coarse finished on the steel. It wouldn't be quite as nice to the touch, but would definitely be in keeping with the permanent feel of the pen.
