Welcome to- The Fountain Pen Community!

Hello  ladies and gentlemen.....

I'm new here, and maybe I still do not know how to use the forum properly...... But I would like to introduce a subject , or to start it if you agree: DICUSSION AND INFORMATION  about something we can't ignore anymore: CHINESE PENS !!!!

I'm finding in the net, ebay, etc. a lot of nicely looking pens from china, like : Kaigelu, Jinhao, Duke, Baoer, etc. Hoever we have very few information about their performance..........

In a first aproach, and depending on your accordance, I think it would be useful if we could share information about it.....

 I take the risk to buy a Kaigelu K17. When I received it I was disapointed with its too pictorial aspect ( too colooured...). However I filled it with parker Quink and realized that it was writing quite well....a very smooth nib, no ink flow interruptions.... really a surprise. What happened?? A matter of pure luck with that particular item??? Or Kaigelu is mantaining this qualitY??? Any of you have some experience on this matters????

 Regards
