"Just a quick note to let you know that my pens arrived this morning. I have to say that these are stunning pens. After my initial excitement the first words I breathed were, “these are gorgeous pens, simply gorgeous”.  I also feel that the oversized nibs add to the elegance and grandeur of these pens. I can hardly wait to flush and ink them up.  Just as in my previous order, I am sure they will write beautifully. Again, thank you Norman for your wonderful service and attentiveness."
E. D., Ottawa, Canada

"Norm, just received the pen today in the mail. What a outstanding looking pen, especially with the large black nib. You are right it bends toward the EXF. It writes beautifully and is well balanced. I usually never post my pens. Now going back on my history studies, the pen is very Moorish in appearance. The ivory, lack of gold coloring and the black grip section and nib all add to the Moorish sociology of its appearance. I am going to make a pen rest for it out of gaboon ebony from Africa. The wood is solid black an hard as iron. I will make that in a Moorish design. Anyway Norm, a really nice pen. Thank you very much."
K. K., Gardena, CA

"Dear Norman, I've been meaning to write and thank you for the service you provide the fountain pen community. I love this Jinhao Ivory. It is wonderfully comfortable to write with, writes beautifully and is completely reliable. Thanks again."
I. S.,
Philadelphia, PA

"I recently ordered two pens from you, the Pirre Paul's Regal which is a nice pen, and the Jinhao Ivory, which I absolutely love writing with. I am, so far, an unpublished writer who writes simply for the joy of it,
and honestly, writing with the Ivory is as enjoyable to write with, if not more so, than some of my more expensive pens. I'm so glad I found your website."
R. W., Baltimore, MD

"The Jinhao is beautiful and I can't believe the quality of this pen and for such a modest price. It looks great, it feels great and is packaged like an expensive pen. I recently bought the Conklin Nozac (the reissue) and there is no comparison, in my opinion. But the Wing Sung is a delight and will be the pen most used. So once again thank you."
P. W., United Kingdom

 

Ivory fountain pen    $35.00    Sold out

Ivory w/optional silver or black Monteverde nib*    $55.00

(the Ivory color is off on this photo...it's just like the others on this page)

No elephants were harmed in the making of this pen! I've always liked ivory-colored fountain pens, and this is a beauty. This is a full-sized pen as these things are currently adjudged, measuring 5-1/2" capped, 6-1/4" posted and 5" with cap held aside...with an oversized nib.

The silver bands and clip don't interfere with the coloration, and let the ivory speak for itself.

Removing the slip cap -- which securely reattaches with a satisfying snap -- reveals the oversized nib (larger than that on a Pelikan M800 for instance, but not quite as large as that one a Montblanc 149), as well as the cleverly-designed section, with grooved finger pads for a secure grip. The nib is a two-toned, 18K gold-plated steel nib. I personally find these nibs a joy to use, and rate them as western mediums. This is the same underlying pen model as the Desert Sands, Plasma, Snakeskin, Starry Night and White Spatter.

                    

Unscrewing the threads between the section and barrel displays the piston converter for bottled ink. It will also take International-style cartridges, such as those from Private Reserve. As with all new pens, I recommend to run a dilute solution of dishwashing soap (two or three drops to a small bowl of water) through a new pen a few times, followed by water only. Step one is effective at removing manufacturing oils that can tend to make the ink less than enthusiastic in heading from the converter/filler to the nib, and step two removes the traces of the detergent you've used...which tends to have the opposite, diuretic effect. A gift box is included.

 

             

* The Monteverde nibs are available in B, M, F or the new stub sizes. I've found that Monteverde nibs run about a size smaller than typical western nibs. Hence, I'd classify the B nib as a typical medium, the M as a fine and the F as an x-fine. The stub is a 1.1 mm medium. Please specify the nib size you'd like, by letter or 'stub' only, to avoid confusion when ordering. They may also be ordered separately, for $24.00 each.

IMPORTANT SERVICE NOTE: Every nib that ships from His Nibs is closely examined under high magnification and tuned or adjusted if needed. About 85% of modern nibs need some adjustment out-of-the-box from the manufacturer for an optimal writing experience. Most commonly, the tines of the nib are misaligned -- which would cause scratchiness at the minimum; the slit between the tines is partially or fully closed -- which would starve the nib of ink and at best cause skipping; or the slit between the tines is too wide -- which will either again cause skipping, or conversely, flooding. There are other factors  -- such as separation of the nib from the feed -- that are inspected and repaired before any pen leaves the Palace.

The only 100% guarantee of course comes when the pen is actually filled with ink and written with for the first time, but our pre-shipping inspections and tunings have eliminated 99.99999 (my finger is getting tired) of the frustrations that a customer experiences when first using a new fountain pen. Although this can be time-consuming on occasion, it affords our customers a much more pleasant experience when receiving a fountain pen from His Nibs -- and saves us the frustration of dealing with returns!

Warranties and returns

If an item proves to be defective, in most cases the manufacturer's warranty will apply. However, please email us first so that we can determine the easiest way to resolve the problem to your satisfaction. In the case of fountain pens -- which are a bit more individualistic than other writing instruments -- what may at first appear to be a defect (hard starting or poor flow for example), can in almost all cases be resolved with a few simple 'tweaks' to the nib, which we'll be happy to guide you through or perhaps suggest returning to us for adjustment.

Should you wish to return a non-defective item within 3 days of receipt because it doesn't suit you for some reason, again please email us and we'll arrange an exchange, credit or refund (minus any shipping/insurance charges), if the item is returned in an 'as new' condition. If you've dipped a fountain pen to try its writing characteristics, kindly clean off any ink residue prior to shipping -- to save us both a nasty surprise .

We want you to be happy with your purchase from HisNibs.com and hope to have you join the ranks of our many long-term, repeat customers!
