Review: HongDian N12 Teal Blue (EF Nib) - Hongdian N12 is a superb pen, light. well sized and the Teal Blue looks very good according to my wife :-). My first venture into EF nibs and it writes very well. On good fountain pen paper like Rhodia you get the extra fine line that you expect and quite wet, which I like. The one big advantage of an EF nib is that it works very well on plain paper where broader nibs just lay down too much ink, so I may gravitate more towards EF. Hongdian as a brand I have found to be very consistent and have never had a bad experience, although they have all come from the same supplier - Erofa, and I do prefer to source pens from them, if there is a choice. One final comment on the nib, it is a Hongdian nib with the Chinese "Knot" engraved on the nib. All of these "Knott" nibs write very well for me, smooth, just a little feedback and relatively wet. So I always look for these nibs in Hongdian pens.
Review: Beautiful fountain pen - Excellent fountain pen Gorgeous design Writes smoothly Well balanced in the hand Easy to refill Would recommend to all who are looking for a well designed reliable fountain pen at a reasonable price.

### ⭐⭐⭐ OK and fairly cheap
*by P***E on 8 February 2024*

Downgraded after about a year. Good at times but not perfect. Next try = a TWSBI, not pretty but I've used others from them that write nicely. This is about my 5th attempt to get a fine nib red fountain pen for use with red ink. A c. £50 Nahvalur (the former "Narwhal" brand) one worked well for about a year, but then the cap cracked. £10-£20 ones from Lamy, Sailor and Kaco were too scratchy. This is looking very good after a day or so. (If you're thinking "why not just a biro or rollerball?", there are two answers. Red-ink biros seem less reliable than black/blue ones in giving a consistent ink flow. Plus the environmental side - once you find the right piston or converter pen, your only long-term replacement is ink in glass bottles.) It's a fairly obvious imitation of a Pelikan fountain pen - usually likened to their M800, which would probably cost you at least 20 times as much, though an M200 would be only about 4 or 5 times. I can't say how much better the Pelikan nib would be, or how much the differences in appearance would matter to you. The only things less than perfect for me are the absence of an ink window to show when the piston-filled chamber is close to empty, and as I have fairly small hands, the part you grip is about 20% thicker than I really want - the tapered shape of a Lamy 2000 or the slimmer TWSBI classic are better for me.
