HONGDIAN 618 Hooded Nib Fountain Pen | 0.38mm Iridium Nib | Converter & Cartridge

HONGDIAN 618 — Vintage Metal, Hidden Nib, Effortless Precision

The HONGDIAN 618 channels the spirit of mid-century pen design into a modern, reliable writer. Its hooded (hidden) nib sits flush within the barrel — a hallmark of vintage fountain pen aesthetics that also slows ink evaporation and protects the tip between uses. Paired with a 0.38mm iridium-tipped nib and a full metal body, the 618 is a pen that looks like it belongs in a glass display case, yet writes like it was made for daily carry.

Hooded Nib Design

• Recessed hooded nib — classic vintage silhouette that protects the nib and reduces ink dry-out
• 0.38mm extra-fine iridium tip — ultra-precise line output for detailed writing, small scripts, and fine annotations
• Smooth, consistent ink flow with reliable startup after capping
• Iridium tipping for long-term durability and wear resistance

Vintage Metal Construction

• Full metal body — solid, weighty, and built to outlast plastic alternatives
• Retro barrel profile with period-correct proportions and finishing details
• Comfortable grip weight for extended writing without fatigue
• A desk piece as much as a writing tool — commands attention wherever it rests

Dual Ink System

• Converter included — draw directly from any bottled ink for unlimited color options
• Standard cartridge compatible — swap in a cartridge for quick, clean refills on the go
• Switch between systems in seconds — no tools, no mess
