Chinese Versions Or Close Of A Metropolitan Or A Plasir?


Maurizio

Recommended Posts

Hi China pen experts. Are you aware of any Chinese pens which are as good writers and reliable as the Pilot Metropolitan or the Platinum Plasir?

 

Bonus question - is there any Chinese pen which has a "slip & seal" cap like the Platinums?

 

I'm looking to fill many pens with many different colors of ink for sketching so looking for the least expensive, but still best writing, kinds of pens. I already have 5 Platinum Preppys and use a couple of other good pens for my fledgling sketching practice, so I'm looking for something of equal price or less to a Preppy, because I've already had one Preppy crack its cheap plastic cap on me.

 

Thanks for your imput.

Great. That’s exactly the kind of pen I’m looking for. Thank you. Now I have to see if I can find a place to buy from. Never saw or head of these before so thank you again.

      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
