The Jinhao X750 Shimmering Sands is an amazing looking pen! Coated with appears to be automotive sparkle paint and clear coat, this pen shoots out pinpoint colors of the rainbow when exposed to light.
The fit and the finish of the pen is pretty nice and it sports a large #6 silver-colored nib with matching furniture. Out of the package, it wrote pretty smoothly with more of a broad (rather than the advertised medium) line.
I decided to do a bit of grinding to turn a ho-hum nib into something a bit more exciting. The writing sample above shows a bit of line variation. I will regrind it a bit more to make it into a crisper stub. It comes with an international converter and sells for between $8-10 making it a remarkable value. I bought mine off of eBay for around $8 shipped from China but Goulet Pens has it for only a bit more with a much shorter wait. Highly recommended!
If you like this you have to try that Jinhao 159. Big beautiful Pen that's only $13.70 on Amazon!
