Just got a Hongdian M2 in brass. Very nice and great value for money! (lemmy.world)

I didn't know there was a brass version! I have the aluminum. How are you liking it after 19 days? Is it developing any patina from using it? I think that would be the biggest point against it in my book. I know all lot of people like patina, but I really want my shiny things to stay shiny. I bet the weight is great, though.

Writes really great, I use it on a daily basis for journaling and no patina whatsoever. I really like the weight and the fact that it’s a bit grippier IMO than the aluminum Kaweco I also use
