Chris Saenz | Jinhao 80 Fountain Pen Talk @ChrisSaenz13 | Uploaded November 2022 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
In this video, I give my thoughts about the Jinhao 80 Fountain Pen! This is an affordable ($8 or less) Chinese lookalike but not a duplicate of the Lamy 2000. My pen came with a very smooth Fine nib and there is a lot to love about the pen! A Lamy style nib, cartridge converter, smooth nib, under $8 price tag and stunning looks to start with. My nib will not yet come off ... several other reviewers have been able to get the nib off and replace it with a Lamy style nib which I hope to be able to do so that I can enjoy a Lamy Broad nib on mine. I'm just being cautious not to break my pen.
We look at comparison pens, writing samples, a few measurements and I talk about what I like and don't like about it. I wrote with DeAtramentis Alexander Hamilton for this review. I have to say, my Jinhao 80 is such a great little writer, I'm happy with it just as it is and will be really excited if I eventually do get one that I can put a Broad nib on but for now I'm certainly happy with the purchase!
I encourage you to watch chrisrap52s review -- he really has some interesting nib talk and I watched his video after I'd purchased my pen and written with it!
NOTE: I had a little bit of a microphone issue so you may need to use higher volume and/or captions if possible .... I do apologize for this ... most of the video is okay but just in a few spots the volume lowers.
