I was excited about this pen as soon as I read about it on the Pilot website. I was always curious about the original shor lived Justus model but the NOS prices were way beyond what i was prepared to pay. This year I believe is the 95th anniversary of Pilot and they apparently decided to reissue their Justus as the Justus 95 with some changes(snap vs thread cap, clip shape and nib sizes). Engeika statrted auctioning these pens in the last week and I was able to win one at a good price. The pens are available in two variants Straight line guilloche vs barley corn guilloche. I bought the straight lined one. also the pen is being offered in F/FM/M nibs, Ibought the M nib version since Pilots F is really fine and I want something a little fatter for everyday scribbles. Onto the pen...

 

Packing/presentation:

 

Justus 95 got a fancy packaging of its own, it is quite classy. It came wrapped and sealed in factory despatch condition:

Perhaps the packing date seal?

The wrapper removed:

The outer cover slides off:

The cap and pen are held seperately, perhaps to showcase the adjustable nib...

The pen has been rescued from the packing and is out of the frame, There is one more level below the pen holding foam that holds the bilingual operating manual and complimentary cartridge. the Con-70 comes pre installed in the pen. I am a cartridge fan, so i popped a Namiki Blue cartridge into the pen for first inking.

The pen:

Flat ends, long and somewhat girthy and a GP sword clip. Plain, undertated looks. I like the GP sword clip, it was previously available only in the white trim on modern Pilots.

http://i1269.photobucket.com/albums/jj582/hari-317/PilotJustus95/IMG_8516_zps84d0459c.jpg

http://i1269.photobucket.com/albums/jj582/hari-317/PilotJustus95/IMG_8517_zpsfac45114.jpg

http://i1269.photobucket.com/albums/jj582/hari-317/PilotJustus95/IMG_8518_zps7e3875d3.jpg

The nib with the "tension" adjuster on the top:

The term tension used by Pilot appears appropriate. The nib can be adjusted from firm to somewhat floppy using the adjuster. So this single pen can accomodate all types of nib stiffness preferences.

http://i1269.photobucket.com/albums/jj582/hari-317/PilotJustus95/IMG_8519_zpsc59c9bca.jpg

http://i1269.photobucket.com/albums/jj582/hari-317/PilotJustus95/IMG_8522_zpsa8d25204.jpg

The following pic shows the gap between the tensioner tongue and the nib topside:

Shiny top of the cap:

Comparison with some other Pilots:

http://i1269.photobucket.com/albums/jj582/hari-317/PilotJustus95/IMG_8535_zpsea7e9742.jpg

L-R:743FA, 742PO, 95M, 74F

You can see that the 95 is quite big and nearly the same size as the largest 743.

Nibs comparison:

http://i1269.photobucket.com/albums/jj582/hari-317/PilotJustus95/IMG_8537_zps7a3074b7.jpg

L-R: 95M, 74F, 742PO, 743FA

The 95's nib is physically smaller than the nib on the 742 and larger than the 74's nib. The real point to notice is the extra long section on the Justus in order to accomodate the adjuster helical cam. the longer section is a major plus point for me over the other counterparts in the resin Pilot custom lineup.

Writing samples:

http://i1269.photobucket.com/albums/jj582/hari-317/PilotJustus95/IMG_8539_zpsc4a388d7.jpg

http://i1269.photobucket.com/albums/jj582/hari-317/PilotJustus95/IMG_8540_zps0e38aed6.jpg

http://i1269.photobucket.com/albums/jj582/hari-317/PilotJustus95/IMG_8541_zps65b8c043.jpg

I could not find any line flex in my example. The nib becomes rigid (but not a nail) at the H end of the adjuster. The flow and the elastic feel of the nib increases on the S end of the spectrum. The line width made by my particular 95, judged by eyeball reckoning is narrower than the line I remember is made by my 742SM.

Conclusions:

  • I found no flex, I preferrred the feel at the H end of the spectrum. The adjuster is just a gimmick as far as I am concerned and can be a conversation starter.
  • Pen is a nice writer.
  • The long section is the real bonus of this model.
  • The pen size is closest to the 743 and weighs approximately 24gms with full cartridge.
  • The lined pattern has a subtle beauty over the plain black customs.


I hope you find this useful.

Cheers!
Hari

Thank you for the detailed review!

Thanks for the review. Or should it be no thanks, because after seeing the terrific pictures, my resistance is crumbling. I suspect I'll soon slouch toward the next auction and start bidding for another pen that I neither need nor can afford. What is it about Pilot pens that make them so irresistible?

 

Seriously, that was a very informative review, and answered many of my questions.

Great review Hari. Ever since I read about this pen it's been #1 on my list too.

 

As a result of this review it has tumbled. I thought for sure "soft" would also include some flex, which is why I was excited about the pen (MODERN flex... not going there). This is actually an enormous disappointment for me. I'm so so glad I read your review before sinking ~$300 in to one of these.

I am glad my report could help in your decision.

 

Definitely don't buy the M if you want flex. Troglokev on the other hand in his excellent review has reported at best semiflex with his F nib example set to the full soft setting. maybe you can look into getting F if you really like the Justus otherwise :)

Hello Hari,

I simply missed this excellent review! Looks great. Followed your provided links and both versions looked attractive.

So, you think nib adjustment part is to some extent marketing gimick? No change in writing with adjustment control?

Enjoy!

Fantastic review as always, hari.

 

The size and shape of the pen are very intriguing (almost like the 845), and I was delighted to see it can be bought in the elusive FM nib size (unlike the 845). Very tempting.

Thanks Hari. I just ordered a barleycorn one from Engeika. Let's see what this puppy's like...

Too many pens; too little writing.

I was weighing up between an F and an MF but went for the F in the end. I think it I went too wet at the firm setting I'd never use it (assuming my example has some flex!)

      @bhavini, I really like the Sailor Hocoro dip pen. It’s inexpensive, easy to clean, and if you get one with a nib that has a feed, you can get quite a few lines of writing before you have to dip again. I have a fude nib, which I use for swatching and line variation while writing.

      What's a relatively cheap tool for a newbie to use to try out new inks, without inking up a pen? I've a bunch of ink samples on their way but I just want to play around with them before I decide on which ones I want to buy more of for writing. I've never used anything except a fountain pen to write with ink before.

      It's gonna end where 1929 left us: a world war, shambles, and 'growth by rebuilding'. That's the conservative view of cycling history --and the big plan. Even if our generations perish.
    • lamarax 11 Apr 0:49
      Of course trade wars are much, more important than the prices of consumer products. The true intention is to weaken the dollar, so that the Chinese start selling their US held debt. But the dollar being the defacto world reserve currency, it doesn't lose value that easily. So the idea is to target trade through artificially raising prices. Problem is, inflation will skyrocket. Good luck with that.

    • lamarax 11 Apr 0:30
      In Europe, the only (truly) American produced brand is Esterbrook AFAIK. Tariffs will make Esterbrook products compete on the same level as some high-end European brands (let's say Aurora), while clearly the product is manufactured to compete on a much lower price level.
    • lamarax 11 Apr 0:24
      So let's say you want to buy a Montblanc or whatever. You pay the current tariff on top of the usual price, unless your local distributor is willing to absorb (some) of the difference

      Cappuccino should work. Frothy milk also helps to lubricate the nib. But it has to be made by a barista.

      No replies required to my complaints about the Pelikan. A friend came to the rescue with some very magnification equipment - with the images thrown to a latge high res screen. Technology is a wonderful thing. Thanks to Mercian for the reply. I had been using the same paper & ink for sometime when the "singing" started. I have a theory but no proof that nibs get damaged when capping the pen. 👍
    • Mercian 22 Oct 22:28
      @FineFinerFinest: sometimes nib-'singing' can be lessened - or even cured - by changing the ink that one is putting through the pen, or the paper that one is using. N.b. *sometimes*. Good luck

      I'm not expecting any replies to my question about the singing Pelikan nib. It seems, from reading the background, that I am not alone. It's a nice pen. It's such a pity Pelikan can't make decent nibs. I have occasionally met users who tell me how wonderful their Pelikan nib is. I've spent enough money to know that not everyone has this experience. I've worked on nibs occasionally over forty years with great success. This one has me beaten. I won't be buying any more Pelikan pens. 👎
    • FineFinerFinest 21 Oct 4:27
      I've had a Pelikan M805 for a couple of years now and cannot get the nib to write without singing. I've worked on dozens of nibs with great success. Ny suggestion about what's going wrong? 😑

      Hello all - New here. My Art studies have spilled me into the ft pen world where I am happily submerged and floating! I'm looking to repair some cheap pens that are starving for ink yet filled, and eventually get new nibs; and development of repair skills (an even longer learning curve than my art studies - lol). Every hobby needs a hobby, eh ...

      Perhaps it's like saying Beetlejuice 3 times to get that person to appear, though with @Sailor Kenshin you only have to say it twice?

    • Diablo 26 Aug 21:35
      @Seney724. The pen was recently disassembled and cleaned, but the nib and feed were not properly inserted into the holder. I'm in Maryland.
    • Diablo 26 Aug 21:32
      @Seney724. The nib section needs to be adjusted properly.
    • Seney724 26 Aug 18:16

      Back to FPN after 14 years. First thing I noticed is that I could not see a FS forum. What has changed? 🤔

      @T.D. Rabbit Try posting it in the "Chatter Forum". You have to be logged in to see it.

      Hello! Is there a thread anywhere 'round here where one can post self-composed poetry? If not, would it be alright if I made one? I searched on google, but to no avail...
    • OldFatDog 26 July 19:41
      I have several Parker Roller Ball & Fiber Tip refills in the original packaging. Where and how do I sell them? The couple that I've opened the ink still flowed when put to paper. Also if a pen would take the foller ball refill then it should take the fiber tip as well? Anyway it's been awhile and I'm want to take my message collection beyond the few pieces that I have... Meaning I don't have a Parker these refills will fit in 🙄
    • RegDiggins 23 July 12:40
      Recently was lucky enough to buy a pristine example of the CF crocodile ball with the gold plating. Then of course I faced the same problem we all have over the years ,of trying to find e refill. Fortunately I discovered one here in the U.K. I wonder if there are other sources which exist in other countries, by the way they were not cheap pen
    • The_Beginner 20 July 20:35

      I have a Conway Stewart Trafalgar set. It was previously owned by actor Russell Crowe and includes a letter from him. Can anyone help me with assessing its value?
    • Sailor Kenshin 15 July 17:41
      There must be a couple of places here to share artworks.
    • T.D. Rabbit 15 July 12:45
      Hullo! I really like making ink doodles, and I'd like to share a few. Anywhere on the site I can do so? Thanks in advance!
