Hari curious have you tried transplanting the nib and feed of the Pilot custom into the Metropolitan,78G,knight, and prera?

No, I have not. There is a slight profile variation, this question is answered in the Pilot Custom review thread, link here.

Not a million miles away from my Sailor Somiko in general shape too. Nibs differ but the bodies of all three - the Pilot, Platinum and Sailor - are very similar.

Very neat little pen :thumbup:

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

How does the nib compare with the flexibility of the Platinum PTL-5000?

These are firm nibs per my estimation. The M nib on my PTL-5000A is even more firm. HTH.

Which would you pick between the PTL-5000A and the Custom?

I must've hit the lottery with my two PTL-5000As. They're both the most flexible (in any definition of the word) nib'd modern nibs in my collection.

How does the pen feel in hand? Does it feel well constructed?

yes, it is quite good for me. Feel is subjective.

that`s a pretty good price for the pen. esp if you can escape the import hassles.

 

Yes considering the fact that mine came with a CON 50 converter and delivered within 3 days.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
