A real conversation starter
Rainbow finishes are one of the most eye-catching looks in the pen world, and the Hongdian 1851 brings that look to an affordable everyday pen. No two angles look quite the same, which makes it a fun pen to pull out at your desk, in class or at a pen meet.
Made for daily writing
Under the colourful finish is a practical, slim aluminium pen. It is light, comfortable for long sessions and easy to carry. The snap cap is quick to remove when inspiration strikes, and it posts on the barrel for writers who like a little more length.
Nib choices for the Rainbow
- Extra Fine: crisp, tiny writing in planners and pocket notebooks
- Fine: a dependable everyday line
- Medium: a smoother, more relaxed writing feel
- Fude: fine to bold strokes by varying the angle, ideal for doodles and sketching

Frequently asked questions
Does the colour wear off?
Like any coloured metal finish, it should be cared for: store it in a pen case and avoid keeping it loose with keys or coins.
What ink should I use?
Any good fountain pen ink. The included converter lets you use bottled inks, or you can use international cartridges.
Is it heavy?
No, the aluminium body keeps it pleasantly light.
