For some reason I am drawn to both the Pastel and Dark Hongdian pens

Though I don't own either of these pens, they are both on my list. There is just something about the simplicity, texture, and colors that are real appealing to me. Are there any others similar to these? What would you even call this kind of design?
@Jake_Farm i love my hongdian 1843. beautiful pen, beautiful texture. nib never dries out. i’ve heard that the threads in the cap can wear out though as they’re plastic ☹️
Wait, so it is not just a varient of the Black Forest with plastic layered on the outside? Everything I am seeing say the internals are metal.
@Jake_Farm it’s very very similar but it does seem to be more of another iteration of the black forest rather than the exact same.. it’s a screw cap, not a snap cap, which is probably the biggest difference. no plastic on the outside, just those pesky threads in the cap haha
Dang, what a shame cause they can clearly make stainless steel threads.
