Review: Black Carbon Fiber 1861, a well balanced, excellent value fountain pen. Highly recommended! - HongDian produce some high quality, excellent value fountain pens. They're ergonomic, well balanced, they post well & have very decent nibs. Even their EF nibs usually run smoothly in my experience, producing neat EF lines which are at least equal to most Western brands. This certainly applies to the excellent Carbon Fiber Black Forest 1861 fountain pen. It's a genuine pleasure to use even over longer writing sessions. I was so impressed with it that I also bought the Silver Stainless Steel & Raw Brass 1861 editions. All three came with smooth, consistent EF nibs. An added plus for me is that the step above the grip section on these "1861" models is less pronounced than on the regular "Forest" pens in the same series. Also, the grip section on the 1861 editions has a 2mm-to-3mm larger circumference, allowing me a more comfortable grip. See photo showing three Black Forest "1861" fountain pens as stated above compared to a standard "Forest" pen on the right. - All three "1861" editions in this series come highly recommended!
Review: Beautiful pen, easy to write with - I am fairly new to fountain pens, and being left-handed, was hesitant. I've tried some before, and the result was a sloppy mess. I love writing with this pen, once I learned to adapt my writing style (which involves rotating the paper 45 degrees). People invariably comment on the bright blue colour of the pen, and the attractive diamond pattern texture. I also use blue ink which makes my writing jump off the page. The weight is just right, the grip is lovely, and the fine nib suits my form. I have friends who spend hundreds of £s on fountain pens, but this is a great writing instrument for a fraction of the price. My writing has always been very sloppy, and the slower writing that a fountain pen requires (I guess until I get more practice) has dramatically improved the legibility of my handwriting. If you've ever thought of trying a fountain pen, start with this one!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it write smoothly and is ink flow well controlled?**
A: Yes - it's a great pen. A little heavy but really a good performer especially considering the price. It feels like a quality pen. Regarding ink flow, I have had no problems with it at all. Even after a couple of days rest, it still writes immediately and smoothly. I have £150+ pens that don't do that!

**Q: Will this work well with Indian ink?**
A: I would not recommend Indian ink in any fountain pen. It tends to dry and block the pen. Use any black fountain pen ink.

**Q: Can I use Indian ink  in this pen?**
A: Hi, carbon bottled ink like Indian ink will clog fountain pen easily. I recommend you to use non carbon bottled ink like Parker or waterman.

**Q: Would this take Parker Long Quink cartidges if you remove the converter?**
A: Nope.  You need to buy the China standard cartridges *I think* they have an aperture of 3.4mm rather than the standard European aperture, which is smaller.  This is the bit of cartridge that you push into the pen, which is punctured to allow the ink to flow.  If you attempt this with a parker refill (European standard),it just won't fit - it's like trying to put a car tyre on a bicycle!
You can buy the China standard cartridges online,   they are about the same as normal ones price wise, or you could buy the diamine ink that comes in a plastic bottle small enough to go into a pencil case, and so far has stood up to the abuse it gets daily in my bag 
Hope this helps!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice writer
*by J***E on 9 May 2024*

Very sturdy metal body and cap. Looks impressive and writes well. Only issue is the ink cartridge has fallen into one body a couple of times when in pocket. However this only happens after significant knocking and bashing.
