Hi,
Happy new year for all members.
I'm a new member and english is not my language, so sorry for my bad english.

I want to buy a sailor with the naginata togi nib.

Is it a good choice?

What size of nib to choose?

I've a 146 Mont Blanc with a M nib and the widht of writing is the limit.
With our experience, Can you give me the comparaison of the naginata togi nib and my Mont blanc nib?

I've seen that some members have fabulous collections of fountain pen.

best regards

Robson

There has been a bit of discussion on this very model in the reviews section,

http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/in...showtopic=19362

but to sum things up for you, it's a great pen, but you need to remember that the togi nib writes larger than others - therefore if you want a broad nib, get the Medium Togi. If however, you want a medium line, go for the Fine-Medium.

all the best

This part is very important for me, I did'nt have information about the size of writing...

thank you very much Bluemax

The review is great, good job !!!

Welcome Robson-

I have a togi medium, and it is fairly broad; not as broad certainly as a MB would be- (I have a MB 146 M, and it is a bit thinner than the Togi- a bit); but with use, the Togi can be more easily controlled than many other nibs-
as always, if you can, try it first. But as far as the writing experience, the Togi, as are all Sailors I have written with, it is a gem!

@Wiglaf I can't try it, there is no seller here, and I do not know anybody who has this pen.

Therefore I need your enlightened opinions

Thank you !!!

I would agree with this from my own experience. It's a very smooth nib, ideal for fast writing, but because of its broadness do not expect to see your handwriting come out detailed in every loop. If you're used to a MB medium, the Togi is only very slightly broader.

@marklavar, your remark on the writing is very interesting. I do not want a large writing, especially which I write rather small. thank you

à bientôt

I have small writing as well, but sometimes I quite enjoy broader nibs because, firstly, they are smoother, and secondly, I find I can write more quickly with them.

I have a medium togi too. The width is very dependent on how you write with the pen. Held almost vertical it will behave like a traditional medium, whilst horizontal will give you a wet broad line (and upside-down a perfectly usable fine).

Writing with the pen held low and with the wonderfully broad strokes is an absolute joy, mine lives next to my keyboard and I use it for jotting quick notes. Be warned it does spew ink like an octopus in mortal danger so never stray far from an ink bottle.

I haven't used the medium-fine togi, but I do recall someone mentioning that it wasn't that much narrower than the medium. Perhaps you might be happier with the ordinary Sailor medium nib?

Sam.
