The new arrivals look really nice, especially for being low-cost as these things tend to go.

I like the look/feel of this Jinhao 80 much more than the Jinhao 9019. The 80 is a Lamy 2000 clone but I don't have a real Lamy to compare.

The Asvine/Hongdian is all metal and has nice a weight, but not overly so. It's entirely matte black, including the nib, which is fun as well. Not everything has to be shiny and silver/gold!

The Kakuno's smiley nib is still the best, though.
