HONG DIAN N23 Blue Rabbit Fountain Pen, Long Blade Medium Nib Silver Trim, New Year Lucky Rabbit Carving Design, Smooth Writing Pen with Converter and Metal Pen Box Set

Juicy nib, quality feeling pen. Even though it posts well, I choose not to in order to not scratch the beautiful gold embellishments. Love the rabbit design, smooth nib and metal exterior. Feels very high quality for a fraction of the costs. No leaking. Refills easily, Comes with its own converter. I appreciate the long knife blade, it’s amazing you get all this in such an inexpensive pen.

Gorgeous pen. Using Hongdian Black ink on leuchturm1917 paper, the flow is really good with zero bleed or ghosting. Writing anything is effortless. The pen has a heft to it that gives it that heirloom quality feel. If you handed this pen to someone they would immediately know they are holding something special. That said, this is my first and only fountain pen so far. I cant comment on the quality of the nib, but it feels very nice... its smooth yet not so smooth you dont feel the paper, however, you can let it glide with only the weight of the pen itself and a generous amount of ink will come out (almost too much for a beginner like me, might have been wiser to buy a finer nib) but learning to control it is part of the deal. I'm VERY happy with the purchase... frankly I dont see how it could get much better than this, even having seen reviews on the high-end 149, pelikan, sailor etc. This just feels super premium and everytime I see it I wanna pick it up, and everytime I pick it up I wanna write with it. Would recommend.

Hong Dian has created another masterpiece in the N23 fountain pen. I love it. Here are some specific reasons why I admire this pen: Design and build quality: I own the Blue Rabbit with the silver trim long blade nib. The pen is extravagant but tasteful in design, finding the ideal mix between flashy and understated. It fits well in my hands, making it ideal for both lengthy and short writing sessions. This pen was solidly crafted and feels extremely durable in my hands. Writing Experience: The pen is smooth. The long knife nib glides across the paper like writing on ice, leaving an ample supply of ink on the page that does not appear too wet. I used Diamine Aqua Lagoon in my review. The N23 laid down a consistent and reliable line on several papers I used. This pen provides excellent value for money. It's a good pen at an affordable price. Overall Impressions: I commended the N23 as a pen that performs above its weight class. This pen is ideal if you want to branch out from basic fountain pens without making a large investment. The pen's quality, paired with its writing capability, makes it a remarkable option in its price category. In conclusion, the Hong Dian N23 fountain pen is worthwhile. Its elegance, comfort, and performance, combined with an affordable price range, make it a significant market challenger.

The pen exceeded my expectations. I opted for a long blade medium and it's smooth as butter. It feels very luxurious because of the glossy shine and decent weight. I find the balance of the pen both posted and unposted equally satisfying. The delivery was pretty fast and with no trouble. I recommend the shop and of course the pen. Excellent writer!!!

I received a used pen with old ink in the cartridge. This is unacceptable to me. The pen body is lovely. I have now thoroughly cleaned the pen and inked it up. It writes smoothly but is extremely wet and writes with a very wide line - bolder than the bold or stub nibs I have in my collection. Given that this is clearly a used pen, I do not know if this nib has been altered, or if this is an accurate representation of this long knife nib. It will not be practical for an everyday carry pen because of how bold the line is I will consider replacing the nib. Not sure I would order from this vendor again.

I really loved this pen. It’s gorgeous, weighty, and feels quality—the problem? I purchased it in April of 2025, it is now January 2026 and while I keep this pen in my EDC case, I don’t use it daily because I rotate between 11 other pens. So it does not see heavy use, yet the threads on the cap are wearing out and slipping, so I can’t really close the pen anymore. I twist it just enough that it’s just barely gripping to the body, and if you twist it anymore, it just goes loose again. I never over tightened the pen, I’ve never exposed it to extreme temperature conditions, I’ve been very gentle with it, so I have no clue how the threads wore out so bad. My hypothesis is the cap threads are very shallow/thin, and so they just wear down very quickly to the point of almost being useless. I wish I could buy a replacement cap. I may buy another, but I’m not sure. I have no reason to believe a second one wouldn’t have the same issue. I think the cap and thread system just needs to be redesigned, and the pen would be excellent once they fixed that. I am not the only person in the reviews who experienced the cap threads wearing down.

Amazing looking pen. Writes very smooth like all the Hondgdian I have, but this also looks like a Urushi coating and sits nicely in my hand.

I love this pen. The color and design is great and the barrel is a nice size for your hand. The ink converter is easy to use and it holds plenty of ink. It does not leak into the cap but it will dry out if you don't use it for a few days if you store it with the nib end up. It has a medium nib so the writing is a bit wide but it is very, very smooth. I have several Hongdian fountain pens and they are a really great value. Not very expensive but very well made. If you are new to using fountain pens, this brand, and this particular pen, will be a great place to start. I highly recommend this.

It writes like butter.

Honestly, as a fountain pen nerd, this punches way above its price point. I would consider it on par with a $100 range of pen from Sailor or Lamy. However, that is with the medium and long nib, for juicy writing. Haven’t tested the fine nib.

My wife uses this as her day to day and loves it.

La tinta no fluye correctamente, al escribir hay palabras incompletas ☹️

Es de tamaño pequeño pero funciona bien
