If you’re looking for a great daily writer with some personality and exclusivity, this white Jinhao 599 fountain pen may fit the bill.
With a smooth Fine nib, this white Jinhao 599 fountain pen offers you an authentic writing experience in most types of paper.
Fountain Pens: An Exclusive Writing Experience
A fountain pen turns your writing tasks into moments of pleasure. They provide you with the most smooth writing experience and provide a feel that’s completely different than the one you get with a ballpoint pen.
No matter if you’re writing your notes or tasks in a piece of paper, or if you’re signing documents, a fountain pen turns those simple moments into a relaxing experience.
Unlimited fountain pen ink shades
In fountain pens, you have unlimited colors to write with. While on ballpoint pens you have a blue, black or red, in fountain pens you have dozens of shades in each color. No matter your personal taste, there’s a perfect fountain pen ink color for your needs.
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 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.
Unlimited personalization
This Jinhao 599 Fountain Pen can easily be personalized to your preferences. You can easily get a completely different writing experience with it by replacing the nib.

How similar is this Jinhao 599 to a Lamy Safari? Do they write well?
They are similar in the design and the looks, but a Lamy Safari and a Jinhao 599 are different pens. I use both, and I prefer the body of the Lamy Safari. It feels more durable and solid. In terms of writing, both models write well, without skipping. I prefer the nib #5 on the Jinhao 599 for the simple reason that it allows me to easily replace the nib. For me, there’s room for both models in my collection. Hope it helps.
Thanks a lot for that detailed comparison.
You’re welcome. Glad to help.
