seems like a nice pen, just one question: is the nib really stiff like other Chinese pens?

How do you grind a nib from a fine to a medium? You can't remove material from a nib and make it wider.

Nice review and a nice looking pen, thanks.

And how can this be, because he is the Kwisatz Haderach.

i own this one and mine came with a med nib. one gripe i have about it is that the gold plate on the nib started to come off after a couple of cleanings... and the fact that doesn't post on the barrel. other than that, it performs great! i still use it in rotation.

Thanks for the review, it looks cool. Just curious, is this a piston filler?

it looks very nice. I hope Chinese firms would experiment with the filling systems a bit and offer 14k nibs. Their steel nibs write like Russian trains over winter rails.

Um... I seem to have a special gift for doing exactly this.

      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
