This is another made in China Fountain Pen - Hero 441. It costs S$6.50 and has a more presentable box compared to Hero 336(plastic wrapper). In addition, the nib is also more presentable. On the surface, it looks a large improvement since the nib is following the traditional standard nib found in many western fountain pens. The chinese word for Hero is engraved on the nib. However, writing on the Fine nib does not have any significant improvement. It is still rough and noticeable effort is required to write.
The body of the pen is nicely finished but it is light and possibly made of plastic, just like the 336. The cap closes on its body with a nice click sound which is better than the 336 (no sound). Overall, I found that this fountain pen has aesthetic improvement, but writing is not smooth.
