What Pens From The Land Of The Rising Sun Are You Carrying Today?

[nekomuffchu]

Pilot 743 with PO nib, very smooth and precise writer.

[Cryptos]

Thought about one of those, got an 823 fine instead. Wonder how much of a difference there really is. The 823 goes to work with me every day. along with a 912 FA.

[J_MM]

My 823 medium generally goes to work each day as well.

On my desk or in my pocket:

 

_ Sailor Pro Gear KOP <B> --> CI

_ Pilot Custom 823 <B> --> CI

_ Vermillion PIlot Custom 845 <F>

 

Best Regards, greg

An easy way to find out is to take a Pilot Kakuno with a fine nib and bend the nib downwards, it will curve perfectly like a PO nib. This will replicate the direct feel of the nib even if the PO nib writes more like an EF.

 

You can also bend it the other way so it writes like a WA nib

Nakaya Shiro-tamenuri decapod (CI) and a VP twilight (M)

Pilot Metal Falcon with a burgundy body and broad nib. Always carry it to work.

Not a fan of broad nibs, but the pen was cheaper with . Really smooth and interesting feel when writing and I love pilot nibs. However, it uses a lot of ink when writing.

Today I'm using Nakaya Neo Standard in the black Ishime-Kanshitsu finish, this is the pebbled urushi finish which gives a textured, organic feeling between the fingers. The nib is a soft fine in rhodium that writes very smoothly with a touch of feedback.

Today it is the Nakaya Kikyo Portable Writer with a "B" nib and filled with Akkerman Passage Blue.

My favourite pen to write with, and my first gold nib: Pilot E95S with a fine nib! I have Noodler's Tienanmen in there at the moment.
