Sailor Nibs Comparison And Japanese Famous Pen Craftsman

[wisma46]

Hi. Thanks for the reply to my post. Oh, your Sailors are all silver trim. They look really COOL!!! If my Pilot 823 has silver ring and clip, it will be even cooler. Of course I know Naginata nibs made by Mr. Nagahara very much. However I have never tried them, I wanna get the Naginata nibs in the near future. Anyway your videos are pretty engaging for me! I have to watch them from now!!

Thanks for the translation, VirtuThe3rd

So basically, the inhaler is a member of the converters family, but it has no seal. This is really interesting.

Hi! Thank you for the comment.

 

I also wish Pilot would release silver-trimmed 823 like Montblanc Platinum Line.

Please enjoy watching the videos about fountain pens on my YouTube channel.

You're more than welcome.

If you have any questions about Japanese products, please feel free to ask me.

Dear VirtuThe3rd,

I just ordered a Pilot Custom Heritage 92 (transparent one) with an EF nib, and a Platinum 3776 (black and gold trim) with an EF nib. My brother has a Nakaya cigar pen with an EF nib, and I really enjoyed trying it! One day I will have to order one too.

 

Apart from the internationaly well-known japanese brands, and if you have the time, what could you recommend in the 400-700€ range ? These videos you showed are very interesting (completely hand-made wood pen and this Onoto-inspired pen), I surely would like to know more !

Thanks in advance.

The TSUGE pens are very elegant indeed, with very high prices to match... Was looking at the pictures and text in Shumi ni Bungubako 21 and trying to figure out how it filled...

 

I wonder who makes their nibs?

Congratulations on your ordering new pens!!

 

Apart from Japanese brands?

 

If I choose particular pens according to your budget, I recommend getting

VISCONTI Wall Street or Stipula Etruria Amber because of their beauty.

Esp. VISCONTI Wall Street has awesome beauty like Parker Vacumatic.

 

They are worth while to get, I think. What do you feel about that?

After I opened up the magazine and checked out the price again, I found that

it is much expensive than I had imagined. It costs about 2,700 U.S. dollars.

 

> I wonder who makes their nibs?

 

The other day, I asked TSUGE about it. Then press officer says "We produce all

pieces of the fountain pen by ourself (without reliance on Sailor) this time.".

Hi there,

 

I've just uploaded the new video!

The title of the video is "TSUGE".

 

I think TSUGE is one of the most enterprise companies in Japan.

 

 

Please enjoy watching.

 

Thanks.

Thanks for sharing.

Ah sorry, I didn't explain clearly enough. I meant pens from Japan, but not the main brands (Pilot/Namiki, Sailor, Platinum, Nakaya, I know these brands already).

"Indie" pens like Tsuge for instance. Do you know all the other brands, and nice pens that aren't discussed on this forums ?

 

Regarding Visconti, I have a Homo Sapiens, a Blue Ripple and a Forbidden City. Great pens indeed !

You're welcome. Happy to hear that.

I think TSUGE fountain pen is not only Japanese-like but also has a distinctive atmosphere.

 

Thanks for your watching.

Yep, there're many minor brands like TSUGE in Japan. But most of them are not discussed on the forum...

Here're some links of Japanese minor frands I know. Please take a look at it, and you can enjoy watching many

kinds of fountain pens made in Japan.

Kota - you have done it again. Thanks! I LOVE glass pens, and those are the nicest I've seen. They appear to write beautifully, too!

 

Can't wait to check the rest of the links.

Hi Kenshin!

 

I forgot putting a link to Pent (Japanese Brand).

Have you ever heard about this brand?

Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy watching many kinds of J-Pens!

Hi Virtu. How are you doing? Remember me? Thanks for your advice, I finally purchased Sailor Pro Color 500 via web shop the other day. You saved me the trouble of looking for it actually. The aqua color is so cute for me. Nib is fine but feels really smooth and wet. I love it and use it for my daily use. Thanks again. Symphony
