JINHAO X159 Fountain Pen — Oversized Design with an Impressive #8 Nib
An imposing yet lightweight fountain pen that combines a generous profile with a distinctive oversized nib and smooth everyday performance.
Large #8 Stainless Steel Nib –The standout feature is the unusually large #8 stainless steel nib. Its generous proportions complement the substantial body and create a distinctive writing experience. The nib is available in different widths depending on the version, including Fine and Medium options, making it possible to choose a line suited to your writing style.
Lightweight Acrylic Construction – Unlike the original metal JINHAO 159, the X159 uses a lightweight acrylic/resin body. This significantly reduces the overall weight while retaining the impressive size and presence of the 159 design. At approximately 26–28g, it offers a substantial appearance without feeling excessively heavy in the hand.
Comfortable Oversized Grip – The generously proportioned grip section is approximately 13mm in diameter, making it particularly appealing to writers who prefer larger fountain pens. The fuller profile encourages a relaxed grip and provides plenty of support during extended writing sessions.
Cartridge & Converter Filling System – The pen uses a cartridge/converter filling system, giving you the flexibility to use bottled fountain pen ink or compatible cartridges. A converter allows you to explore Diamine, Pilot, Waterman and other fountain pen inks in a wide range of colours.
Secure Screw Cap – The screw cap provides a secure closure when the pen is carried or stored. When posted, the cap extends the overall length and can provide additional balance for writers who prefer a longer pen.
Excellent Introduction to Oversized Pens – With its large nib, substantial proportions and comparatively light construction, the X159 offers something different from conventional everyday fountain pens. It is an appealing choice for beginners wanting to try an oversized pen, as well as experienced enthusiasts looking for an inexpensive #8-nib writing instrument.
