At present, the shell of the fountain pen is mostly made of brass paint and resin, and the appearance of the fountain pen on sale is becoming more and more homogeneous, far less than a few decades ago, with a hundred flowers and different shapes, which may also be the reason why many people like to collect old fountain pens. Brass, white steel, and plastic shells have long been "vulgar", so it is better to have a wooden pen to "promote" some style and more taste of literary and artistic youth.
Fountain pen in the era of science and technology, the meaning and positioning have also changed slightly, just like the meaning of the watch now, it is no longer a pure time tool, and the fountain pen is no longer as pure a writing instrument as a few decades ago, it is eaten away by a convenient and cheap gel pen, replaced by the input method of electronic products, and it is more of a "literary art", or a "status decoration", or a "collector's toy".
1. Fountain pen
Let's introduce Jin Hao first, no way, the largest number. Jin Hao's pen tip writing sense will not say much, you can refer to my other article to see the link below. All the reference prices in the article need to be found by themselves, and most of the links are listed in official stores, which are only for reference in the appearance of parameters.
1. Jinhao 9026, 9035
These two pens are different in size and nib size for the same appearance, whether it is the pen clip or the appearance, there is no difference between the two pens, the shell has been made of adhesive film, which is brighter. If you don't like the texture of the adhesive film, you can also polish it with 1000 to 3000 mesh sandpaper, 9035 I have been slightly polished, basically no discoloration, 9026 The cap has not been polished, as shown in the figure, the glue is obvious to the naked eye. 9026 is walnut and 9035 is rosewood.
The prices of 9026 and 9035 are basically the same, and the lowest price is about 30 yuan.
金豪51A、9026、9035、8802
2, Jingo 9036
I didn't buy 9036, and 9035 is basically the same, I like the shape of the clip, at that time I bought 36 and didn't buy 35, but I'm not sure if I will make up one in the future. The logo is very beautiful engraved on the wood, and it is said that it is said that it can be used to change the shell with the platinum 3776, which is undoubtedly a shell replacement scheme.
The lowest third-party price is about 50 yuan, and you can find third-party discounts by yourself.
3. Kingo 51A (616 wood)
In addition to plastic and acrylic models, there are more wooden materials, walnut, rosewood, maple, red cinnamon, ebony, tiger skin sandalwood, and it is also the most wooden-choice among these brands. In addition, this model also has an extension rod. And Jinhao 616 for the same different design of the pen, so sometimes search for Jinhao 616 can also find this model, the cap has a model, the wood rod is indeed 51A, because I don't like similar to Montblanc pen clip, and the pen shaft design is slender not suitable for too atmospheric pen clips, I swapped an arrow clip from the 616 glue pen. The inside of the pen barrel is a brass screw mouth, which effectively prevents the problem of bursting rods, in fact, almost all of Jinhao's wood rod series use metal screw mouths, which can be regarded as conscientious products. You can get it for about 15, but now it seems that Eternal Life also has a pen with the same price and shape. The one I bought is made of walnut, and one is ebony, but it has been lost, and the ebony feels more delicate and the overall look is better, but because the color and pattern are almost invisible, it is quite similar to plastic.
4. Jinhao 8802 shell carving
A non-wooden, 8802 series is available in three materials, including wood and ceramic, with a standard 26-point and silver fittings. There is also a 650A in the same shape, the same different size, 35 point point, gold hardware. The shell carving is indeed very beautiful, the old model is a regular rectangular layout, which has been discontinued, and the one on sale is the improved model with a random scattered layout, which is more natural. It's also a natural material. Compared with wood, the price is a little more expensive, about 50, and the price is reasonable compared to similar products of other brands (luodian, shell carving, etc.).
5, Hironori 1866
According to the text, in addition to the use of Sumu barrel, the other positions are silver-plated, and the color is indeed different from the ordinary steel or chrome plating process, 35 mm bright tip, the nib is very soft and elastic, the writing is very handy, and I like to be cautious and slippery. It is precisely because of the nib of this pen that I used to have a bad impression of the nib of Hongdian.
1866
Advantages: silver-plated, unglued wooden rod, original ecology, soft nib, heavier weight and more pressing, with 35 tips feel good.
Disadvantages: Although the groove of the pen barrel is beautiful, it feels extremely bad, it is not resistant to dirt and occasionally burrs, and it is not stored properly, this design is estimated to be easy to crack. If it's a shallow trough, it might be more perfect.
6. Carpenter of Mengtejiao
Meng Tejiao's shape is still relatively special, the pen cap 8 corners design, the pen clip is similar to the feather stripes, the weight of the whole pen is moderate and heavy, the wooden part of the material is thick or OK, there are no accessories inside the pen barrel, completely a whole wood car out, the pen cap only has a sealed cap and the pen clip for other material accessories. There are two kinds of wood, sour wood and ebony, EF, F and art tip 3 kinds of nib options, and the outer packaging carton imitates wood grain pattern. The purchase is sourdough wood.
carpenter
Advantages: There are no steps at the interface between the pen barrel and the pen grip, the integration does not put down the hand, the accuracy is good, and there is a golden decorative ring at the pen tongue and the pen grip interface, this detail really surprised me.
Disadvantages: The workmanship can not be said to be much good, but it is not too big a problem, the screw of the pen barrel is directly driven out of the wood, there is a probability of cracking and bursting in the later stage, the log material is generally selected, the texture is not three-dimensional, the cap is much brighter than the pen body, like the glue film but the ultraviolet lamp irradiation is a green fluorescent reaction, and there is a great god who understands the sour branch wood (African sandalwood) can be said. If you have bought Mengtejiao, it should be very clear that although the nib is soft and elastic, the smoothness is very average, and the domestic middle and lower level.
7, Delik Shepherd Boy (the last craftsman)
Originally, I was going to buy only one of the shepherd boy and the carpenter, and the appearance was somewhat similar, but I remembered that I was going to write a wooden fountain pen article, and finally I got in. Similar to the design of Mengtejiao, different from Jinhao, it does not use other materials as linings, and directly uses the threads from the log car. The nib of the pen does not discuss the advantages and disadvantages, the nib of Delik, the basic hero of a level, not excellent, the tip of the last craftsman in my personal heart is better than Delik. I bought a Delik pen before, and the tongue directly used the hero tongue (the plum blossom logo is there), but this time, this pen did not directly use the hero tongue. Purchased as red sandalwood, speaking human words is actually a high probability of African small-leaved red sandalwood. It is very similar to the Indian small-leaved red sandalwood, but it is not as valuable as the Indian sandalwood.
There are relatively many styles of wooden fountain pens at the end of the craftsman, M1 M3 M6 M7 M1000, it seems that most of the entire M series are acrylic or wooden, and the little fat Q1 also has a wooden one, and the shepherd boy may be classified as its Delik, the price is a little more affordable, and other models are slightly more expensive.
cowboy
Advantages: The log base is good, there is no adhesive film, and the wood can be seen similar to the three-dimensional effect of small-leaved red sandalwood (or blood sandalwood), and the texture is good.
Disadvantages: It is said that the sealing is average, to be tested, the position of the cap mouth is not lined with plastic, metal, etc., so it is made thinner, and there is a risk of cracking in the later stage. There is no pen clip, and it is round, easy to roll off, and the opposite of Montejiao, Montejiao's carpenter can actually design without a clip. And the shepherd boy needs a pencil, even if it's an ultra-short one.
8. Hobby log M4 fountain pen
Actually, this was added after the post, because I forgot about it when I gave it to the child. The pen was bought very early, and probably this is the only wooden fountain pen of a well-known brand that is cheaper than the Jinhao 51A. Pinduoduo's hobby stationery flagship store, perennial 8.8, 9.8 yuan, occasionally there are coupons basically 6 to 7 yuan can be bought, gel pen and mechanical pencil with the same series of prices are basically the same. Although it's Duoduo's flagship store, the link can't be on the platform.,I don't know why.,You can only hang one casually.,If you like it, you can search for it yourself.。
M4
The M5 is a dark-pointed model with a tougher shape, while the M4 is bright-pointed, rounded, and the crown is wooden. The M1 and M2 are gel pens of different shapes, and the M6 is a mechanical pencil, but it's strange why there is no M3. The materials are beech, oak, rosewood, walnut.
There is no problem with the workmanship of the pen, the metal screw of the pen barrel, the details are good, the chrome glossy surface is slightly less matched with the wood and is prone to scratches, the nib is soft and smooth (bright tip model), there is no problem with daily writing, at present, you can only buy a plastic pen within ten yuan, and this one uses a log metal shell, I think the value rate is higher, more than Jinhao 51a, if you buy a few more wooden or several pens, it is still more fulfilling, the wooden part of the purple light has a little fluorescent reaction, However, I personally think that there is no adhesive film, and the log feel may be a chemical agent used to deepen the color during processing. For the hobby nib can basically rest assured, if memory serves, the hobby has been to kaco OEM nib or gel pen, etc., compared to the morning light of the wood language series, a lot more affordable.
As shown in the picture above, before this pen I bought the M1 gel pen (crooked side to be disliked by the one), because of a deep position tried to polish by myself, found that the hobby of wood in general, must be real wood, but there is the possibility of post-coloring, the color becomes lighter after polishing, because M1 has been bought for more than a year or two, I am not sure whether this will be the case in the later series. Regardless of whether it has been optimized in the later stage, the price determines everything, and I still think this one is very cost-effective.
9. Bamboo fountain pen
Pinduoduo is a lot, indeed pure bamboo material, 8 to 10 yuan a piece, and the golden silk bamboo is slightly more expensive. It is true that the real bamboo, the pen body is treated with a thick layer of adhesive film, but the bamboo material does need a plastic film, the texture is rougher than other wood, the pores are large and many, it is easy to get dirty and cracked, and the adhesive film can avoid many problems. The workmanship is a little rough, the metal parts are not delicate enough, and the gifts for personal use are free, and they can't be used, and the gift box is not suitable for giving away. This material is not too much to introduce, you can find it yourself if you like it, anyway, the price is not expensive, and you don't suffer a loss if you buy it, just understand.
Bamboo fountain pen
2. Strengths and weaknesses and personal opinions
I think the use of wood or bamboo for the pen is not because the material is very suitable, but it evolved from cultural play, many people like beads, like the texture and texture of wood. And most brands of wood are also made of ordinary materials with low prices and no great collection value, with walnut, sour branch wood, blood sandalwood, African small leaves, ebony in the majority, in terms of appearance, walnut, small leaf red sandalwood does have a better texture.
From a practical point of view, wood in addition to the beautiful texture, feel more mild, does not have many advantages, but more prone to scratches and cracks than other materials, if the workmanship is not good or not lined, the air tightness will be greatly reduced, and it is easier to burst than plastic. But it can't be said that the wooden fountain pen is only because of the texture and "literary" and high-end, there are also many pens for plastic and other materials, imitation wood grain, but the actual effect and texture of the hand, is indeed different from the wooden effect.
The above paragraphs, as a person who has not yet entered the pit (wooden bracelet) out of the pit, does not know much about wood, although it is not a precious wood, whether the wood texture is good-looking has become the key, and I personally think that the three-dimensional sense of Delik Shepherd Boy is a little better. Secondly, the three-dimensional sense of Jinhao's wood grain is also obvious, but unfortunately there is a plastic film that is not suitable for disc play, and you need to deal with it yourself. The reason for Hongdian's sumu is particularly dry, and the groove shape has no texture at all, but the hardness of the log seems to be good, and it looks very scratchable.
The significance, advantages and disadvantages of adhesive film:
1. Strengthen the hardness of the wood surface and reduce the risk of being scratched and bruised. It makes the shell brighter and more resistant to dirt, and retains the texture of the new pen for a long time. It has a certain waterproof effect, and the probability of cracking can be minimized in the same way. I think Jinhao 51A's adhesive film is well done, and I can't see it at all.
2. Disadvantages, the wooden feel has directly become a plastic feel, the adhesive film is not smooth enough, and there are a lot of bubble-like dots that are ugly in the light. Unable to play with the pulp.
The performance of these sticks in the hand under 365nm ultraviolet light:
Adhesive film
The two on the left are without adhesive film and have natural colors under ultraviolet light. The 5 UV lamps on the right are blue or green, and Meng Tejiao (green) is not sure if it has been filmed.
I started to think that it was a film made of special glue, but I found that the sawdust was also yellow, and I was not sure if it was a glue film. I only know that Hainan Huanghuali (Hainan Yellow Sandalwood) is green under the purple light, and I don't know enough about other Yellow Sandalwood.
Jinhao 51A's adhesive film is actually very thin, and the treatment is also good, the pores are visible to the naked eye, and the adhesive film does not affect the appearance.
Jinhao 9026 and 9035 can be seen with the naked eye, and it slightly affects the perception.
Hongdian 1866 has no adhesive film at first glance. Delik Shepherd Boy can see pores, and there is no adhesive film on the appearance.
The above judgment is only for the few I started, can not represent all the above models of pens, may be different due to different batches and processes, ultraviolet lamp judgment is only a primary judgment, there is a special glue treatment of ultraviolet light can not be seen, play should know.
3. Experience sharing
If there are old players or players who play the game, you can also add it. Contemptible people are shallow in learning, and only know a little bit about it.
1. Several common wooden fountain pens, the hardness of the wooden part is far less than that of metal and plastic, etc., remember not to bump, even if the nail is scraped, there may be dented marks. Affect the aesthetics.
2. Try not to mix with other pens, that is, throw the pen into a box (bag), the wooden one must be the first to be injured.
3. Do not put it in an excessively dry environment, it may crack for a long time. This is also why some brands use the wooden part as a mule film.
4. If necessary, you can buy a bottle of silicone oil and polishing board, the wood used to make the pen is not a high-grade wood, and the oil content itself is less.
5. For those without plastic, metal and other bushings, especially the threads made of direct wood, try not to screw too tightly to prevent cracking.
4. About the article (including previous articles)
Some pen pals feedback that most of my articles introduce the appearance, and the content of the detailed sense of writing is less, reason: most authors write for a single model, whether it is appearance or details and experience, relatively single-minded, may be more detailed and richer, and have a deeper understanding of the product, but there are also a large number of articles that collect money to do publicity and water, in fact, there are not many good articles that do not contain any interest in a single product of the aunt platform. And I basically write with a variety of characteristics of a certain feature, and many common contents, such as nibs and workmanship, may not be repeated after a stroke. Because the same brand uses the same assembly, or the same nib, there is no difference, only the difference in the shell. I also tried to write an article on a single model, but I was helpless to write and write, and then revise it several times to become multiple models (typical: Parker Wycombe Abbey article).
A published article basically has to lie in the draft box for several weeks, and there is even a text that has been almost dismantled, but there are no pictures, and it has been lying in the draft box for more than half a year. Repeatedly supplement the content, modify the pictures, sleep and feel that the unreasonable content is added or adjusted, and finally published, after a period of time after publication, if you find that the content is problematic or supplemented, it will be modified several times. The number of words in a final formed article should be 3,000 to 6,000 words, and the pictures should be 10 to 20 pieces, which are basically taken by yourself. And sometimes just for the experience or want to add the content of an article, the pen is very redundant. There is no manufacturer to support me (products, internal information, propaganda, etc.), even if I hang a store link, and then go to buy things, I don't have a penny discount, a lining cloth, a wooden board, even a piece of sandpaper, I bought it with real money, the article does have a meager income, but it is very small compared to the money to buy a pen. In addition, I can't buy a lot of equipment to write a few articles, and I can't destructively disassemble to test the material of a few pens, or waste a lot of ink to test the tightness, after all, I am not professional enough to be a professional.
In that case, I'm actually quite difficult. The cultural level is limited, and I don't want to write about it for the sake of gold coins, and I don't expect this as a job, I just want to share some of my own experiences and experiences, and I am content if my friends can learn something.
