WIng Sung 601A, Diamine Oxblood ink

 

What are your thoughts about the 601A. Is the nib rather smooth, or a lot of feedback? I am not particularly fond of hooded nibs, however, this pen looks interesting. I took a liking to the Lake Blue.

I just got my Wing Sung 601A last week. I haven't had a lot of time to play with it because it came with two Kaco Edge pens in M and EF which have been way more fun to play with despite the converter filler and boring black colour, and then I got distracted practising nib grinding.

 

When I first used mine after first fill (Diamine Red Dragon instead of the Diamine Oxblood of GreyPix) it was frankly scratchy. I thought I might give it a go tuning later, and just put it away. I picked it up two days later, and the ink had properly saturated and it was smooth enough to actually use, so never did tune it.

 

It's the stiffest nail I can remember using. The line is a sharp 0.4 mm with this ink on Silvine 75gsm lined paper ("The Red One"). A lot of people compare feedback to pencils. Imagine the feedback you get when you just finish sharpening a pencil, that catches a bit but smooths out after four or five seconds of writing. Then imagine that it never did smooth out, instead. That's the feeling of this pen. In fact, I had a brief olfactory hallucination of smelling pencil filings when writing with this pen. I also get hard starts occasionally on an upstroke.

 

I love the filler, I love the ink window, I love the way it looks, I love the weight, I love the feel in my hand. I don't really care for the writing experience. But I don't really hate it, either.

Love your creative writing style - "an olfactory hallucination of smelling pencil filings when writing with this pen." I think I will hold on that purchase. I recognize that feeling about certain pens - neither love or hate them. Thank goodness I do not have many in my collection. Ink windows are a real treat, for I have a bad habit of writing until there is nothing left--not even the aroma of ink. Several of my pens from India have been a lifesaver because of the ink window. Thank you for your response, and such a pleasant response to read.

Hello,

 

I really like the pen.

Mine was uber-smooth and wet for a fine nib and I have had no problems with it at all.

As per JollyCynic's comments regarding the filling mechanism and ink window. Both are really good features. The filling mechanism makes it a breeze to completely fill with (in my experience) no more than three presses of the plunger and it has to be one of the cleanest ways of filling a fountain pen that I know.

For the price, and if you like the style, it is a bargain.
