Really a surprising product, considering the price. The pen writes superbly and is extremely comfortable to hold. All things considered, this could be my go to pen.

It is a wonderful product.

This pen looks quite gorgeous in the red I chose. I filled it with De Atramentis Jasmine ink and it wrote beautifully straightaway. I was pleasantly surprised to find it has an 18k gold-plated ink, which writes smoothly, with good flow. It's a perfect size for a medium-sized hand, somewhere between small and large. It has a lovely Zeppelin shape. I forget which size nib I ordered and it doesn't say on the back of it, however the back of the nib has a very nice design on it. It seems to be European broad. A delightful feature of it is that it also writes and flows well on the back of the nib - much finer, a nice contrast to the broad. Two nibs in one! I treasure my other $500 pen, but in value for money, the Jinhao leaves it for dead. I'm very happy with it.

Beautiful fountain pen for the price. Jinhao offers
a great fountain pen for both the beginner and
long time fountain pen users.

Nice pen for the price, writes smooth and always writes on the first try

Beautiful writing implement and with such elegant details and styling, and for the price, and exceptional bargain. Writes wet and is ready at nearly every start. I have used a variety of inks by different Makers/manufacturers, and it performs well, never leaks and is an attention-grabber, where ever I am. The large two-time nib is very classy and the body's design is first rate for a "value" taunted price point.
I like this pen for my upscale and dressy outtings. Thank you Pen Chalet for offering such a wonder. And this pen will last!

Really nice pen for a inexpensive pen the la get nib is really nice looking but hard to fill in some ink bottles because the bottles design. Writes smooth

This is my second X450. It looks and feels much more quality than the price would suggest. The largest drawback of the pen is the converter--it does not fit well in the pen at all and does not stick well. After managing to get it to "latch" and finally be able to draw ink into the converter, a few days later it "unlatched" and was loose in the barrel of the pen. Fortunately this wasn't a total disaster. I purchased a Standard International Monteverde converter to use the second time around. Much better experience with filling and latching :-). The nib on this pen writes very smoothly. It's been a great addition to my collection with a small work around.

I have used this pen for a week now and it is a great buy. The nib is smooth and the and it's so easy to use. For the price this would make a great starter pen.

Great value!
