... Danitrio feeds!

 

Funny enough, I was convinced Mikado and (Sho)Genkai used the same nibs and (I assumed) feeds.

 

Today looking to my (soft stub) MIkado and my (soft medium) ShoGenkai I realized I was wrong.

 

Unfortunately I can find a lot of pics of DT nibs, but none of the feeds.

 

Can you tell me about yours?

 

Personally, I can see no functional differences, but I prefer the Mikado's fatter one (but the minimalist one fit very well the raw ebonite ShoGenkai "spirit".

Oooh~~~ Sexy feeds~~~ LOL :ltcapd:

 

By the way, are the feeds made of ebonite, or plastic?

Superb!

 

Both the feeders are Ebonite. here is what kevin had to say sometime back, post quoted for reference, trackback will take you to the original thread:

I would like to make a clarification. Danitrio's #8 nib uses ebonite feeds. They have never used plastic feeds on #8 size nib. I think the confusion may be due to the new shape.

 

The old ebonite feeds they use were thicker and what I call "raw ebonite". The new feeds are shaped differently without the bulk. They are still made with ebonite. the difference is that now the ebonite is much more polished and shinier. I can see why some folks might mistaken then as plastic. They are still ebonite for sure.

 

The following pen models use #8 nibs: Sho-Genkai (baby Genkai), Mikado, Genkai, and Giant Bamboo.

Thanks Hari, looks like I missed that post.

 

So the Mikado has the old style feed and the ShoGenkai has the new style one.

I have 4 DTs, all have feeds like the bottom one in your second photograph.

The feed on my junikaku is the flatter more streamlined one. I'll try to post a picture later.
