Omas Cs 60S With Extra Lucens Flexible Nib

Recommended Posts

This one doesn't have any review here, so here it is.

 

Appearance and size: 8/10
Errm, a Sheaffer PFM clone from Omas???? Only with Omas nib and piston filler. This is how it looks like to me. According to a catalog I downloaded from a FPN member here, it was on the first pages of the catalogue, does this mean it was top of the line? Seems a little bigger than a Pelikan 400, so size is OK.

Construction: 10/10
Quite balanced pen, well constructed. Can be used posted or unposted. But why the Sheaffer lookalike (getting obsessed it seems).

 

 

Filling: 10/10
Piston filler, works nice, no comment here.


Nib: 10/10
Extra Lucens nib with a lot of flex. Writing sample not so good, should have flexed more. Nib looks quite big on this pen.

Test Drive: 10/10
Nice to write with, no negative comments here.

 

Will post later a writing sample.

Overall: 10/10
Maybe you saw from my review that I am not really in love with it. But I am not in love with any Omas. Even bought the applauded Paragon Arco Brown. Really want to love their product. Can't. It is quite OK though as a fountain pen.

Thanks for quick repky - it's quite a lot. Maybe it's due to the fact that for some ink capacity was very important issue when they decide to buy 'that' pen - like with parker vacumatic ad - it supposed to store 101% of ink

      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
