I was very curious to see how they made this new Jinhao 10. Would get it or stick to the Majohn A1 for $2-$4 more?If you can, support 365Days Stationery Stor...
Hey,
We’ve recently been discussing the capless clones. Doodlebud just made a video comparing the real deal with the clones.
Interesting to see the minute cutting of corners on the Jinhao.
For the trivial difference in price, I think I won’t be in a big rush to pick up a Jinhao just for the sake of completeness and I’ll stick to my Majohn.
I also just noticed that Majohn also released a clone of the Pilot Vanishing Point LS, which they’re calling the “A3.” I may have to check one of those out at some point.
The A2 mimics the faceted art deco style of the vintage Pilot Capless. The A1 has the syling of the newer Vanishing Point, although insofar as I can tell they both use the same mechanism.

Yeah, there’s no real need to get the jinhao if you have the a1 IMHO.
I don’t like the style of the A3 personally.
There’s also the A2, which is a slight revision of the A1 using a plastic barrell.
