Pros & Cons
Pros
Like its predecessor, this pen looks good and is a reliable writer. The casing is not too wide in the middle and the cap doesn't screw on so you're not holding ridges while you write. The pen is long enough to write without posting, which i do not do ... Read More
The ink flows evenly and smoothly. And then there’s those swirly acrylic ones.
The body is more tapered, so the cap posts deeper. The clip is stiff but has a rounded head and slips nicely into shirt pockets. The only problem i’ve had is the body unscrewing easily.
It comes with a refillable reservoir but you can also use cartridges. A lamy-style converter is included. Comes with a converter and works well.
The jinhao 51a is a decent starting point for a fountain pen. It has a decent nib and a decent fit and finish. The pen is gorgeous and keeps your finger clean.
Cons
Cheap, beautiful, writes but skips like crazy and definitely not. However, the ink flow is extremely inconsistent and causes great inconvenience when writing. It constantly stops flowing. Beautiful wood and chrome cap but completely junk internals.
Highlights
Quality
The writing is smooth as butter and the quality of the pen itself is amazing
I knew this going in but i was still surprised by the weight and how smooth it wrote
I forgot to verify if ink cartridge came with product
I will say that if i spin the pen and write with the nib upside down blasphemy
Price
Ive owned over pens that cost 15x this price and i feel they are the same
The fit and finish isn’t quite there but it’s a quarter the cost
Competitiveness
I use a pen case and with my twsbi eco and my lamy safari i have never had any leaking problems
I have a few colored demonstrator models that get a fair amount of pocket time
People shouldnt buy fountain pens if theyre not into a fuss and b danger

Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
While ive never had issues with either converters i simply prefer the twist converters easier to prime the nibs and rewet them if the ink runs dry from writing too long
