Review:
The Wing Sung 698 is an impressive pen for the price it sells for. It is a Chinese fountain pen that has a piston filling mechanism and comes in multiple colors and styles; the demonstrator version with the silver-colored trim and the gold trim were both chosen for these review purposes. The pen comes with a nib that has a transparent, which is attractive when it is filled with a colored ink. However, for this review we tried to switch the nib with a pilot metropolitan nib to see if they are interchangeable, and we were surprised to find that they are. In fact, the Wing Sung 698 takes all standard #5 nibs.
The cap screws onto the pen securely, and the pen consistently writes well regardless of long periods without use (we've waited days, weeks, and even a month in between uses of this pen, and each time it wrote without skipping). The cap of the pen does not post on the back of the pen, but the cap does have a clip that is solid and able to cling on to clothing. The pen can be completely taken apart, making cleaning the pen easier. For these reasons, and the pen's reasonable price point of $22, the Wing Sung 698 is recommended by Lion Stationers. It can be purchased from the following vendors:
