Haolilai
Need bottled ink or refills?
"This pen with it’s powerful bold black body and
star burst gold cluster glitter brilliance is it’s statement of quality. But
what caught my attention is the gold sharp dagger like nib. It is very
different from other nibs. Powerful and quick when writing out decisive
directives."
N. S., Van Nuys, CA
"Norman, the Haolilai you sent is Magnificent!
Smooth as silk. Perfectly weighted. Exquisite look. A treasure. Many thanks
for making this possible...It's a week later I'm still stunned at the
Haolilai's sheer beauty and exquisite functionality. To find such quality for
an affordable price amazes me. Like
having a $45.00 (real) Rolex!" "Norman: I finally sat down to ink
up the new Haolilai ZHF101 you sold to me a couple of weeks ago. Ah, what a
great pen! I was surprised how smoothly it wrote and how well the ink flowed
through the fine nib. That, I suspect, is due to your pre-inspection before
sending it out. It has a solid feel to it and a nice balance. So far I prefer
writing with it unposted, though that may change as I get more experience with
it. Many thanks for offering such a great pen for sale! May I also add that my
wife has admired the pen's look and feel. She
"A short note to say, Happy Holidays and to tell
you how pleased I am with my Haolilai pen. I have used it every
day for the past two weeks and it has really passed the writing test. This pen
writes smoothly, is dependable (always ready to write, even if I leave the cap
off) and attractive to carry.
Thanks again!" "I wanted to let you know that the Haolilai arrived yesterday. I filled it with Noodlers' Blue, and I must say that for the money it's a great pen!...It always amazes me how a pen that only costs $45 or so can outperform pens costing 5 to 10 times as much." F.C., New Jersey
Haolilai #ZHF101
The nib itself is engraved with '22KGP', 'Haolilai', and a reprise of the double triangle logo found on the cap top. The section is a highly-textured one, providing a very firm purchase when writing.
This is a classy, retro-styled beauty that seems to have become a daily user for me...as exemplified by the ink stains on the nib!
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!
