I love that these Chinese pens all come with converters. Eyedropper converting takes a great pen and makes it leaky and unreliable.
Thank you, Brian and Drew. Drew's mug-fu is strong,.
2:37 the Eyebrows when Drew drew the pen from his shirt... classy! :)
great chemistry whenever they are on screen together! I love it!
the look he gives reminds me of James Bond somehow. Maybe the swagger.
I love this model from jinhao,they're maybe the prettiest of the Parker 51 homages so far.
I've got 2 of these and I love them! 👍👍👍👍
Oooh fun! Love that ombre!
Thank you so much for ordering the exposed-nib wood version!!!
Great pen, love it.
I have three of these in wood! :D They're great. Obviously mine aren't eyedropper-convertible, but they look pretty sweet. Next time I need one of those translucent ones :D
I love the Jinhao line and I have three of the 51a pens, a wood and two acrylics. I've never had an issue with them, they're great writers and actually changed my mind about hooded nibs! I use vintage pens a lot and have never liked the feel before, but the experience with my 51a pens made a believer of me!
I have 3 of them and they are fun. The wood one I have is really susceptible to temperature changes and tends to leak a little into the cap when I go from cold to hot environments. The other 2 are great.
I have a couple of the wood-body 51a's. It's a great pen - especially since if you cap it tightly it keeps ink wet for months. I've taken them on planes without much leakage too. It's my go-to under-ten-dollar pen.
This is my pick for my first fountain pen 😊😊😊😊 I CANT WAITTT FOR IT TO ARRIVEEEE
2:30 New fashion trend alert! The fountain pen tie clasp, you saw it here first. 😉😁
Yes! I've been trying to find a reputable place to find this. Much easier than finding an adorable Parker 51
Awesome, I decided to get one of these after I had such a good experience with the Shark Pens.
Have you guys seen the jinhao 51 with the medium nib I think. It has a standard non hooded nib. A friend gave me one a while ago. Fun pens. Cheers
I want one.. liking the hooded nib.
Okay.. 3 days later.. THANKS for the review. I ordered 2 in pearl ombre, blue/green and orange/purple. I dig em! My first $15 pens.. naturally it gave me an excuse to buy two new inks 🙃 always a plus.
those Jinhao tubular nibs are pretty reliable. definitely pens I can recommend to people.
I do wish they had options other than ultra fine though.
The Jinhao 51A has to be one of my favourite pens. I don't know how they managed to pull it off, but they are phenomenally reliable with no hard starts or drying out for me, EVER. I like my classic Parker 21s and 51s so the section is familiar to me. Just like those vintage pens, every one of my 51As copes with fast writing and being generally abused to hell. Excellent for EDC while being cost effective. Surprisingly, the open/traditional nib variant of these has also never yet let me down. These are some of the reasons why I've amassed a stupid quantity of 51As and am continuing to hoard them.
awesome! I love the hooded nibs of the shark pens. I mean I love the sharkiness but I guess sometimes I don't want a brightly coloured shark?
I'm so excited that there are more ombre options coming. Woo hoo! I can't wait for my ombre 51A to arrive (along with my Shark and the Stipula rainbow). These are such awesome pens.
Great to see that you guys now carry the Jinhao 51a. I own 1/2 dozen of them and they are amazingly smooth, consistent writers. One of my 51a's is a dark wood and it's a really nice looking pen. I know Jinhao makes the pen with a standard (nonhooded) nib. I prefer the non-hooded nibs; they're friction fit and easily swapped. The 51a has got to be the least expensive acrylic pen available.
Same. I have 4 of them, all in the non-hooded variety.
Actually I'm here because I bought this pen and watching it 😂
Edit: but still I love this pen and it is pocket friendly
Oh. I had never once considered purchasing the Shark pens, but I have several of •these• little pens: all of the ombres, and a blue/black/white subtle swirl version that Brian might like, and a few of the translucent versions. I love the way they look, feel and write, which surprised me, as a lover of the medium/broad nibbed pens.
I agree with a previous commenter that said these are similar to the Esterbrook Phaeton (I watched a video after reading that comment).
The Jinhao 51A has allowed me to welcome in and truly appreciate EF nibs. (Plus, these fit in my budgetary wheelhouse: being a SENIOR on a seriously fixed income with an unbridled desire to have MANY pens, I've crowned myself the QUEEN OF CHINESE PENS, Long May I Reign!!)
Thanks so much for this video! You fellows are fun to watch!
You don't have to spend a ton to have a great writing performance and I'm glad you've found exactly that! :) - Colin
I have a wood one - looks very cool, and is a great writer :)
Getting the Ombre one in the mail today.
Please make a video to show how to convert this to eyedropper filled
Those new pens look really sweet ... reminds me of the esterbrook phaeton
Yeah, a lot of these 'vintage' hooded nib designs these days. Has that classic Parker look which I think is great. - Colin
Jinhao pens are very underrated. They outshine some of the more expensive pens I’ve tried.
I recently purchased an identical pen online in India which was sold as Jinhao 51a. However, when I opened the pen I found the cap with inscription "Jinhao" on the front side and "616" on the back side. The clip, ofcoursrse had a Jinhao logo. What is the correct name of this pen ?
I actually got this pen because I wanted a pen like the shark that wasnt a shark. Its perfect! My only issue is that the cap tends to fall off when its in my pencil case, so I need to keep it separate.
Might be worth adding a O-ring to the grip section. Could hold the cap in place a bit better? Haven't tried it myself though. - Colin
I used it. Very nice pen but it's black ring with grief section is very unfavorable because it break/creak within one or two weeks which is not replaceable for general user.
Try a wood or acrylic model. Much sturdier and available in hooded and unhooded versions.
Kind of wish these came along before the 991, before I splurged on chinese pens. The 991 is less... 'obtrusive', but the 51A just looks that bit classier.
now show us how to take it apart and put it back together again
Please get more Colors and nib sizes of the jinhao 51a
There is only one nib size for the hooded and only fine for the non-hooded which I dont think they are going to sell.
Definitely carrying a few more colors, but the minimums for nib sizes are high so (like the Sharks), EF hooded is what it'll be for a while. If its super popular, we could open it up though. - Colin
Sounds like I'm about to have another Halloween-themed pen *rubs hands together*
Nothing wrong with liking both the shark pens in all of their sharky goodness as well as the new Jinhaos.
Absolutely not! I have both now. :) - Colin
@@Gouletpens I have 5 sharks and will have 2 51a pens once my order arrives.
Hmm, an eyedropper pen with a wood option. I have a plan that can only end with heartbreak and a ruined shirt.
Brian, please get the red.. I promise to purchase one red, and a couple of others if you get me a red!!
Frank from Boulder, Colorado
51A? I wonder if that's perhaps a very slight reference to a certain iconic pen from the past with a hooded nib as well. LOL
Okay, just kidding. I know not everyone can track down a vintage Parker 51 in near mint condition. Or, is willing to pay the prices associated with one in such condition. So it's good that other enthusiasts have this Jinhao option.
Very similar to the Jinhao 159, which is totally just a random number and not close to a pen that just happens to be $800 more... ;) - Colin
@@Gouletpens
Yup, _completely_ random, Colin. Nothing wrong with that at all. *xD*
Dang, and I just ordered 4 sharks, which I put off because of the “ predatory marine animal” look....
They don't all look the same. Mine is green -> blue -> green again
Interesting! I guess there may be some variance if looked at bigger batches of them. Good to know. - Colin
why do you guys no longer carry Parker pen?
They didn't sell well for us. Closed out the full brand due to low sales. - Colin
I wonder why Parker seem less regarded these days, at least outside of the UK? Didn't they used to be a huge brand - what happened?
This shows that its ridiculous ridiculous ridiculous, to spend hundreds of dollars in a factory pen
hahaha. they definitely did not realize they were unhealthy for children. My school still serves them. Taste great tho.
so take the shape of the parker 51, add A to the name so it sounds slightly different, and since there is already a total parker 51 ripoff pen, lets slap on the pilot custom clips!
Well, if you want a modern Parker 51, there's a lot of options. Not surprised that it's an iconic design... Just not one you can get from Parker right now. - Colin
Extra-Fine again??? I would have bought a couple. Great to carry around. But extra-fine is useless to me. Why not mediums? I know you won't do broads. But Extra-fin?
This is what's available from Jinhao. EF for hooded. F for non-hooded (but swappable #5). Considering the amount we have order, we could add the non-hooded if these are super popular. - Colin
Are you guys evil or am I just a sucker ????? I'm doing my best to fight the urge to buy this pen, after all I just got the red shark with noodlers Dragon Napalm ink LOL. Argh I think your just evil LOL :)
Ha! Well, luckily these aren't $150+ pens. If you like the Shark, these make sense for the next pen! :) - Colin
your right there but I've already got the kaweco Al Sport and the Twsbi Diamond 580 for my spendy pens now i'm looking at cheap ones to expand my collection :) :( I don't know how to feel about this LOL
Years ago we had quality pens at decent prices, now we have cheap chinese knockoffs like this one of the Parker 51 killing the quality name brand of the vintage pens.
are they though? The presence of fake rolex watches doesn't devalue real rolex watches. It speaks to desirability , it doesn't kill the market.
I consider this more of an homage to a classic design since the Parker 51 isn't even in production anymore. Parker themselves went in a different direction. Can't be surprised other brands realize the popularity (Jinhao, Esterbrook, Aurora) - Colin
