Jinhao Fountain Pen New Shark Shape Set of 5 PCS, Fine Nib Diversity Color Pen with Refillable Converters, School Office Supplies

Who'd have thought that these little sharkies are such great writers? Such a great value considering they also come with converters! Beware the amazon recommendation bundle, I ordered the recommended mini Jinhao prefilled cartridges and they don't fit-but you shouldn't need it though since you can just fill the included converters!I have a couple of kids in my life that are crafty and I plan on getting more colors to gift them as I know they'll love these!

I have an old set of Jinhao Sharks that I really like. These are a little different.The new nib style looks a lot like a platinum nib from above (lack of breather hole), but are a dead-ringer for Lamy from the bottom and side. The converters look really similar too, which makes me think they might take Lamy cartridges, and that's why there are reviews saying standard and Jinhao cartridges don't fit.They're a lot finer than my old-style sharks, too. The old ones were more of a European <F>, while these are about the same as a Japanese <F>Also - the grip is round instead of triangular - the only real downside for me. They're not as comfy to hold. (Actually a littke painful for me, because I have some hand issues. Haven't had any problems with my old set)But they're a good writer out of the box - no skips, no hard starts, no burping, smooth and all - and the colors are nice. I just wish they had the old triangular grip.

For the price, these little pens are amazing. I have handwritten 20,000 words in the past two weeks in an attempt to finish a novel in the month of November, about half with these shark pens and half with my trusty Platinum Preppies, and while I do still slightly prefer the Preppy, these pens write smoothly and have stood up to the heavy use. They are also absolutely adorable and come in colors that match some fun inks; I got Pelikan Turquoise to put in the turquoise shark pen, and it's a perfect match. Highly recommend these as a casual, affordable everyday pen that can get thrown in a purse or backpack.

Cute product, but haven’t been able to use it yet due to ink difficulties… I wish it would have stated more obviously that there was no ink included. I read in a previous review they don’t accept standard size cartridges, so I ordered Jinhao brand cartridges, only to find they don’t fit either! The cartridge size is not stated. Really frustrating.

These pens are pretty versatile. I very much wish they made these in bold. I have not tried to eyedropper these but if they do, they can hold alot of ink.I really like most of the colors instead of clear. I wanted eye catching. These are fun. I use a couple for dip pens, and they work just fine. I have had no problems with these. they write immediately.Would buy again.
