I have my eyes on getting one of these pens for rigorous note-taking during my social science masters program. I'm just wondering what the line widths look like ranging from Fine to Medium (soft nibs in between). Would anyone be able to provide me with some writing samples? They are difficult to come accross on google.

 

If it helps, I don't mind the line width of the Lamy Safari F. Maybe even something a tad narrower would be nice.

 

 

 

Cheers!

The best place to start is Goulet Pens Nib Nook:

They don't sell the 91, but any other Pilot should be similar.

 

Good luck with school!

I'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.

The Goulet Nib Nook covers the standard f,m,b, and maybe the FA.They show only what they can sell as a U.S. distributor.

Here are the other nib types, not directly sold in the U.S. Market: image

huhjunn,

 

This does not directly answer your question but I wanted to do a quick comparison.

 

If you have other Pilot steel nibs (Prera, Kakuno, Metro, Penmanship, Plumix) I would say the sizes are very comparable to those pens. I have did a quick side by side with my on hand collection and when I compare the Fine (steel v gold), I do see and feel the gold nibs is just a bit wider. The big difference when writing is that I have found in mine is that the nib is much softer (duh?!?!) and this much more sensitive to angle and rolling.

 

I have been wring with two Preras (and other Pilot steel nibs) for over and year and just got a CH91 with a F nib a few weeks ago. The sample below is using various inks so that may play some small role in the variation you seen. I currently do not have any other Pilot Gold nibs. All my other samples are from in store sample pens and I do not think they accurately represent a new pens writing.

 

Honestly when I get into rigorous note taking I tend to favor my steel nib pens. I use my gold nib pens for more casual writing, notes and journaling.

      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
