For and against
- Enormous ink capacity for a pocket-length pen
- Distinctive, genuinely charming shape
- Fude version is a cheap way into bent-nib writing
- Cheap
- The barrel shape is awkward for long sessions
- Too fat for most pen cases and sleeves
- Reviewers call it an 'at home' pen rather than a carry pen
A collection pen with a real use case (ink capacity), not an everyday writer.
What owners say
Majohn has great quality I found after buying a Q1 a month ago, I wish you lots of happy writing with your sweet new pen! r/fountainpens · 3 pts · thread
Have you tried the Majohn Q1? It's basically the same thing just a very chunky version and I LOVE it. https://preview.redd.it/m3c1skc907jf1.jpeg?width=3487&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c2b7ee680b42eb034e0e9cd001b83be3b394d4a4 r/fountainpens · 1 pts · thread
I just noticed: I have the Q1, not the Q2. I can never tell them apart. So yes: the Q1 is well-made. r/fountainpens · 1 pts · thread
