They’re pretty smooth writers out of the box. I used to hate Jinhao because all the pens I got had dud nibs, but they’ve improved vastly in QC. The five Jinhao 82s I got all wrote nicely when I inked them.
I ordered one since I was curious about the Sailor Pro Gear Slim when it was a lot cheaper. I’ll see how it feels in the hand since so many pens are uncomfortably heavy (Pilot Metropolitan) or wide (TWSBI Eco).
Jinhao 82. Cheap-ass Sailor Pro Gear clones.
How smoothly do they write? Love my Jinhao 51A pens.
To be fair, I have only inked half of them and I use them as guinea pigs for nib swaps. So I don’t really know :D
I love a good nib swap. What nib sizes do they take?
Me too!! Standard 26mm #5.
