I purchased this pen on a whim. I have a Jinhao 159 and like how it writes. It seemed like a fun toy and was reasonably priced. I ordered this and then put it in the back of my mind as shipping from China usually takes some time.
Well, it arrived today and I have to say I AM IMPRESSED!!!!
This is the Jinhao Dragon and Phoenix.
This is not a whimsical toy pen. This is a work of art. The overlay is thick and amazingly detailed. The threads on the pen are square cut. It weighs in at 113 grams. IT WRITES AWESOME!!!! I ordered the broad nib and it sure seems broad to me. It is very smooth, very wet and keeps up with flourishes no problem. It is a substantial, heavy pen but still easy to write with when un-posted. It is crazy heavy when posted. I have a couple more on the way and am now excited to receive them.

Square cut threads!
You can get a sense of how thick the overlay is here:
I'm sure these are real rubies :P They are striking none the less.
Size comparison to the Montblanc 149. It's a big pen!
