Hi Vaibhav,

 

nice review. The feeder however is plastic, also the holes are there for cosmetic reasons only. it is easy to confuse them for breather holes which they are not.

 

Hope this helps.

The nib looks like some old Stypen fountain pens made ca. 1980-90..Interesting!!

:thumbup:

 

 

I was just this minute thinking the same thing.

See, for example--

I agree rockydoggy,this one also..

The feeders of JoWo i am not sure if that can be called plastic. Its more like soft rubber. The nib & feed can be pulled out from housing just like friction fit nibs (just remember to disengaged the converter before pulling out)

Very good review and very good writing. I finally understood the purpose of those holes and I also learnt that the nib and feed have to be pulled out. Thanks to Harry sir and Anup sir. But where is the breather hole?

But where is the breather hole?

Breather hole not necessary. If u see Camlin Trinity - the nib has no holes. Similar with some Waterman nibs.

 

Many things are old concepts like breather hole on nib & on cap.

the nib and feed have to be pulled out.

The rotation threads are in the housing. The nib feed & housing are all separable.

 

You can dismantle it in any way you wish.

 

If u r pulling out nib & feed then just pull it out. There is no scope of wiggling

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
