Mine arrived a couple of days ago - great pen, great writer - definitely now in everyday use. I echo what DanK said above - thanks for the opportunity to participate in the initial production run. Only slight problem is a little ink leakage behind the first seal - an issue I have heard others mention. Is there a fix in the works for this? It doesn't affect performance one little bit, of course, but is an annoyance in a superb pen.

Mine came a few days ago, I filled it with Diamine Maroon. A good writer and a good sized pen. I took it apart before I filled it and accidentally fulled the nib out of the assembly. I stuffed it back in and it does not seem to have affected the performance of the pen.

I do that frequently with most of my pens. It makes it easier to clean and dry the nib and feed. I assumed it could be done on TWSBIs but hadn't tried yet, good to hear it works. Just make sure the nib and feed are properly aligned when you push it back in.

Okay, there's a notch in the black part of the section, and I failed to pay attention before I pulled out the nib and feed. :bonk: Can someone look at theirs and tell me if the notch is supposed to be at the top or the bottom?

I did exactly the same and need the same advice

Put the nib feed back in gently without the nib mounted, rotating it until you will feel it go into place. Then look at where the reference slot is in the opening and you are done!

I've got mine with me at work, and the notch is in the bottom, where it is out of sight when in use.

      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
