Like the N10 but a C/C filler. Moiré pattern more intense. Same good writer. Which do you like better?

I have recently bought this pen from Etsy . Very nice pen with a comfortable grip for long writing .The nib has a bit of feedback and is not scratchy at all. Ebonite feed with no 8 size nib is not very common with under $30 pen . I have ordered a fine nib and am very happy with the purchase❤

I think this is the first review up on KZfaq of the A9! Great comparison btw the N10. Way to go!

I like blue one. The pattern almost looks like it's moving, like a barber pole. Hongdian/Asvine are the best Chinese nibs.

Both pens look nice. I like to change inks often, therefore a cartridge converter will be my choice.

Wonderful review, Chris! I don't have either of these pens yet... I only just a month ago finally got a couple of WingSung 630s, but I really like the look of these Hongdian nibs much better. I have some catching up to do on my Chinese pen wishlist, I guess... though I did just order a PenBBS gold nib, finally. Anyway... I loved the video, as usual! Thanks!

I really liked the N10. It's unfortunate Hongdian decided to discontinue to model

@chrisrap52 Ай бұрын

Models come & go. Can't continue to have new models & not retire older ones. Grab them when you can.

The moiré pattern/effect is very strong on this blue one.

Cap misalignment reveals poor quality control

@chrisrap52 Ай бұрын

Not quality control, it is a design flaw.

Congratulations. First review of the new A9. I've got one on its way to me. I ordered quickly based on how fast the blue N10's sold out. 💙 Thanks for the review.

I'm still waiting for the blue N10...

@teresaharris-travelbybooks5564 Ай бұрын

@@omeryehezkely3096 as far as I can discover, there aren't any more. I found an Ebay site that advertised them. I ordered and paid and when I didn't get a shipping notification, I asked if they even had the blue one and they admitted that they didn't. I got a refund and left a poor review.

The "sold out" of the N10 blue it's a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. I think it only lasted a few hours, maybe minutes, on sale. The magenta and green ones, on the other hand, are still found everywhere and sometimes at a very good price, more on the side of 20 than 30eur

@teresaharris-travelbybooks5564 Ай бұрын

@@MateuMatheu what do you think happened? Did Hongdian only make a small number of them? Are there millions of them; out there clutched in the hands of pen lovers, that we just don't know about? 🤔 It IS an enigma.

I received mine last week and I think it is one of the best Hongdian pens. I do think the vertical lines are a design flaw that I find annoying, and I am not one to be overly picky on things like that. But the no 8 like nib with the feed is excellent and it posts well and is not heavy at all.

Wow these come with ebonite feeds now???

@paulmchugh1430 Ай бұрын

I have the A9 in the shopping cart and haven't pulled the trigger yet. The finish on the pen reminds me of a barber pole. Interesting that the nib width differs slightly on the pens. With cartridge converter pens, I look to see if it can be eyedropper filled. I do not change inks very often so I am always looking for a way to increase the capacity. Can you do this with this pen? Nice review and comparison, Chris.

@chrisrap52 Ай бұрын

You can ED this pen, need a safe neutral ink to avoid attacking plated metal section.

@teresaharris-travelbybooks5564 Ай бұрын

Follow up question; have you had any ink leakage or burping? It seems like this ebonite feed, or mabe the aluminum barrel, is affected by the heat?

@chrisrap52 Ай бұрын

No, the ebonite feed & aluminum pen are fine.

@San-fr7ft Ай бұрын

Hi, does the ebonite feed make the flow better versus a plastic feed?

@chrisrap52 Ай бұрын

From my experience, modern ebonite feeds like these are not significantly better than the plastic feeds. Vintage ebonite feeds, carved differently, can support a large ink flow.
