Jinhao 82 and Delike New Moon 2 Nibs

05/15/2023

Jinhao 82 EF on the left and Delike New Moon 2 EF on the right. Working on a comparison post but will make a few comments now. The New Moon is a slightly larger pen and has a smoother nib. The Jinhao 82 EF is sharp and needs a very light touch. The Jinhao 82 F writes more like the New Moon EF but produces a slightly wider line. A Wing Sung 659 double nib EF/F is en route for a third participant in the comparison. Do you have a favorite among the three?

I asked Tessa to write with the Jinhao EF and F as well as the New Moon 2 EF and the bent nib. She has a heavier hand than mine and preferred the Jinhao F and the New Moon bent nib. I would not disagree though I will write with them for a few more weeks before stating a definitive preference.

Thank you @janinescribbles on Instagram for inspiring this comparison. I cannot match your gorgeous writing but I can write about the pens we both use.

He knows more about pens than the rest of us combined and he always has beautifully restored vintage pens on offer. At the other end of the spectrum, Fountain Pen Quest reviews disposable pens. It may not be your cuppa, but it is the safest way to introduce a novice to fountain pens without risk to your precious and pricey babies…
