I had the usual experience of Heroes and Wing Sungs from years ago. I was thinking of a new pen, and Jinhao especially has enthusiastic supporters at a local pen club. So I decided to use a couple of gift cards, and came away impressed.

The Asvine has a very smooth nib and holds so much ink that annual filling might be enough unless it's a daily carry. It would have to defeat the Lamy Al-Star to get that job, and the Lamy has tenure.

The Jinhao is a beautiful fit for my hand. Both pens are the kind you want to refill as soon as you clean them instead of giving them a month off. That reaction is how I know I've found a good pen.
