Jinhao 599 Vs Lamy Safari
When you look to a Jinhao 599, it’s impossible not to think about the Lamy Safari. The Safari was the original pen with this design, so many people think the 599 is just a clone.
In reality, there’s no way to deny the inspiration behind the Jinhao 599. But the pen itself has its own arguments.
I do love both the Lamy Safari and the Jinhao 599. These pens are practical and make good daily writers. Between the two, I prefer the plastic feel I get on the Safari. The plastic feels thicker than the one you get on a Jinhao 599.
But the Jinhao uses a standard international size converter and a regular nib, so it’s more practical and flexible than the Safari.
The Yellow Jinhao 599 Fountain Pen
When you get a 599 you can easily use your favorite fountain pen bottled inks. There’s a converter included. If you want to, you can also use the international-sized cartridges manufactured by most brands (not by Lamy of course).
The 599 is entirely made of plastic. It’s not as thick as the Lamy, so it’s more prone to cracks. But don’t get me wrong. The Jinhao 599 feels good enough, just not as good as the Safari.
The pen weights around 20 grams and the length is 137mm.
The Yellow Jinhao 599 Limited Edition
For the limited edition, we replaced the nib with our own handmade 1.3mm stub nib. This nib is such a joy to use! It’s smooth and offers you more than enough line variation for daily use or for calligraphy.
The pen was cleaned, tuned, and improved to assure a perfect writing experience with this wet stub nib.
This pen includes 2 X 3ml ink bottles and a 5ml Fountain Pen Cleaning Solution. So, you’ll get everything you need to start using this pen right away and to preserve it for years.
Limited, Exclusive and Collectible
InexPens Limited Edition Fountain Pens are designed for those who look for uniqueness and exclusivity. We manually grind, smooth and polish the nib, to create a unique writing experience. The result is a unique and highly collectible fountain pen.
The Jinhao 599 Limited Edition Fountain Pen offers you the opportunity to have a 599 like no other. This is a common and affordable pen, but there’s not another 599 exactly like this one. If you simply want a daily writer and don’t care about stubs, then you might prefer to get a regular 599. But if you want something manually tuned, perfected and unique, get your limited 599 by clicking here.
I have a couple of these pens in different colors. Even wrote a review about them in a popular forum. I love them. Never tried any of them with a custom nib, but even with the standard nib they tend to be smooth and reliable. Only negative thing I would say about them is that they are prone to cracks. Most of mine got a crack near the feed.
But the same thing happens with Platinum Preppy, and they are still great affordable pens.
Thank you for sharing your opinion Johanson. Yes, I agree with you, both the Jinhao 599 and the Platinum Preppy are great pens.
