Thank you for the response Francis! It is a big help. I may do that one day. I'm super excited to receive the kingsize!

I think you are really going to like that pen. I can't put it down long enough to do anything productive. (not to mention I have three nibs with it so it will be one filling on each so it will be a while...)

Here is a photo with the famous J. Herbin ink. It is a great pen to highlight the flakes in the ink:

Even with the narrow width of the line writing with the cursive italic nib, the unique properties of the ink shine through nicely.

I have a question about the CAISO Bulkfiller:

 

When a buying spare nibs, does one receive only the nib? Or do customers receive an entire nib unit with nib & feed?

 

I'm curious as the CAISO apparently relies on a custom feed and I'd personally feel a little more secure if each nib had its own feed.

Hi pensive,

When ordering a nib one always gets a complete "nib unit", meaning the assembly consisting of the nib, the feed and the screw-in nib & feed housing. However the CAISO shut-off valve plunger is not included and should be exchanged.

Fountainbel,

 

Thanks for the information. Does that mean if I order three CAISO nibs I will also need three valve plungers?

 

Or I can just the same valve plunger and it just needs to be re-installed each time a nib is swapped?

 

Thanks again.

Yes, you can reinstall the valve plunger at nib swap. and user the one valve plunger for all your nib units

Alternatively you could order some extra valve plungers so all your nib units are complete.

Thank you!

 

Ok, now for one more question:

 

Can non-CAISO nib be installed in a CAISO nib unit?

 

So if someone has a Kingsize already, can they order a CAISO Kingsize with extra nib units and 'convert' their regular Kingsize nibs into CAISO nibs?

 

Thanks again for all the help. I promise that's the last question :-)

Hi pensive,

Installing your standard Kingsize nib units in a CAISO Kingsize is no problem, only drawback being you don't have any shut-off valve.

The Caiso nibs are identical to the nib used on the normal kingsize,

Converting a normal Kingsize pen to a CAISO is however not possible since the barrel and ink window are different.

Hope this helps.

Is it possible to swap nibs without swapping the entire nib unit?

Yes, but one needs to knock the feed & nib trough to get them out of the housing.

Do you know if this pen is available for purchase in the US? Between the VAT tax, extra tools, and Broad nib its already an extra $60!

 

Thanks,

It is when you order through the website. VAT does not apply to the US.

I haven't seen it listed on their website for a while. Someone explained why in another thread but I don't remember what was said.

      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
