Pilot Custom Heritage 91 In Yama Budo


StyloBug33

Recommended Posts

I first saw this pen at the Ohio Pen Show. It wasn't for sale, but someone was showing it around. I loved it! The color is just gorgeous. From what I could discover, the color was designed to match one of their inks: Yama Budo. As I tried to find one, I discovered that they were only sold in Japan. The only way to get one was to find a way to buy one from someone in Japan. I did find one and order one off eBay. Then, I sort of panicked. You see, a few years ago I tried to find a Sailor Sapporo in the Hello Kitty design, and even though I bought one on eBay, it never came. I was afraid the same thing would happen, so I found a seller in Japan on Amazon and ordered second through them. Still convinced I wouldn't get one, I ordered a third. Honestly, I thought I would be lucky if I ever managed to get one. They are not only gorgeous, they are under $100 and have a 14K gold nib. Anyway, I waited, fully expecting to be lucky to even get one. As you can imagine, I didn't get one, I got all three. I'm a happy camper. They really are beautiful, and I don't mind having three of the same pen.

There's also tsukiyo but I still went with the black one because of the bigger nib selection but I bought it from Ito-ya during the tour trip from Japan

But if another trip will be abound a heritage 912 will be a must

      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

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      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
