Here is my another Pilot makie pen. This pen joins my other 2 Pilot makie: Mt. Fuji and Matsu.

 

The package: Great presentation and a complimentary ink. By looking at the presentation package, I can sense the quality the pen maker puts into the pen.

The makie work: Togidashi Hira makie technique is used for this pen, similar to my other pen Mt. Fuji. Compared to my other Makie pens created by different techniques, this makie work is very smooth to the touch; but, I can still feel the raised surface for the makie work.

The pen and nib: The nib size is #10 for this makie series pen and I chose M, which is close to a Western F. The filling system is the cartridge/converter setup. The pen cames with the CON-70, similar to the Custom 845 Urushi's CON-70. Based on my initial dip test, the pen writes smoothly. This pen can be a great daily writer; but, the makie work is so pretty on this pen and I hesitate to put it in my daily rotation.

Reference pictures:

Matsu (this is a plastic body with a Hiramakie; the nib is #5)

Mt. Fuji (this is in the same class as the Phoenix.

Very nice. I have the Fuji too. Although they are probably more durable than we think I don't take mine out much either. Thanks for sharing.

I have the Phoenix too. It just looked too nice to resist. It is also a good writer, but mostly I just look at it. :cloud9:

      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
