KAIGELU Pen, Any One Have one ?

[syngent]

So come thursday i have to give rockviper back his pens i borrowed from him and i think i now have to replace it with one of my own lol
curses !,

while searching something else in here i saw Jim post about kaigelu, and they look great have a great price point too, so i was wondering if anyoe had one and any thoughts on these you may have would be welcome

It's okay for you to hang onto them a wee bit longer. Want to make sure that you get used to having FPs around the house

My dad has one like that. I've used it and for the price, it's pretty darn good. But you'll also get opinions on how Chinese pens are crap, so YMMV.

That looks a lot like a Duofold

I think I saw a video review on YouTube a while back. He was reviewing several Chinese pen, so I'm not sure.

And... I just noticed there are three reviews in the 'similar threads box' as I'm typing this. It's frustrating because I can see them, but since I'm on an iPad I have no way to copy the link.

I have one; mine turned out to be a fairly wet medium nib, and it's a bit section-heavy, but overall it's a decent pen for the money.

There was another thread on it here, where I put in my four cents in a couple of posts. Definitely YMMV. A number of people liked it. Mine had clogging problems. When I took the nib and feed apart to clean them, I found the gold plate flaking off underneath the nib, which was probably exacerbating the clogging. I didn't like that the cap won't really post (it looks like it does, but won't really stay on while writing). Maybe I just got a bad one. It's an attractive pen which has evidently worked well for some people, it's inexpensive, and you might love it.

well its a shame so many people have issues with them, they are gorgeous little things, but at that price point maybe that was asking a bit much

I have had three Chinese pens- two Fuliwens and a Gui Guan. All wrote nicely. I piffed the Fuliwens since I found I don't like fine nibs. The Gui Guan was six bucks, and is solid brass. It has a broad nib, and I will probably never let it go.

well at the 25 dollar price point it may be worth a shot, if nothing else i can pif it to someone see if i cant get someone else hooked

I had the same problem with my pen. Nice pen, just does not get the job done.
