Large Chinese Pens

Recommended Posts

Do you know of a Chinese pen that is well made and is about the size of the Jinhao 159? I just love large pens. C. S.

Wingsung 590 (right side) vs Jinhao 159 (left side) - is that big enough for you? By far my largest pen.

Pen or "war club"?

The 590 is indeed a large pen, but it's like a length of plastic pipe, and does just feel like a cheap plastic pen that is huge just for the sake of it.

Mine does write well though, with a touch of flex and it holds 10 gallons of ink.

Good novelty value, but not a looker by any manner of means, and a bit rough round the edges.

Another "large" pen I've recently discovered is the Yiren 827 and it's definitely worth a look.

Big, robust and weighty at 57g, and writes like a dream.

There are a couple of other similar Yirens, that might also be worth a look.

The Picasso 915 is another biggie, and what a pen.

A bit more expensive but worth every penny.

There are lots of Chinese pens which are "not really small nor light" - especially, if you are looking at the presentation pens with snakes and dragons.

From top to bottom

Jinhao 888 (with Jinhao on the trimband written in Hanzi - very difficult to find)

This is the largest in my collection and even larger than the Wing Sung 590. 'Sorry, no 'photos showing comparative size.. However, the pen seems not well made. The clip,,a crude stamping, is especially depressing.
