Kon Peki Comparison


senzen

Recommended Posts

It took me a long time to find the right pen for Kon Peki (Platinum Cool, medium nib), I had not realized my expectations were different from reality, I really like it when it happens to come out lighter, closer to Ama Iro, but it always goes back to its true self, which is a medium green blue.

Row 1 of the other colours: Mandarin, Fuyu Gaki, Orange Indien, Ancient Copper, Rouge Hematite, Diamine Poppy Red, Perle Noire.

 

Row 2: Chiku Rin, Vert Empire, Verde Muschiato, Ina Ho, Inti, Yama Guri, Perle Noire.

 

Row 3: Ama Iro, Équinoxe 6, Souten, Tsuyu Kusa, Asa Gao, Lie de Thé, Verdigris.

 

Row 4: Fuyu Gaki x 4 (checking for consistency on a notorious evaporator Sonnet), Myosotis, Ajisai.

 

To me Chiku Rin is the inveterate fun ink, Fuyu Gaki is just wild; I just got Inti, it might give Chiku Rin a run for its money.

 

Note the left side of this pic is brighter than the right one, to give an idea of the effect of sunlight on this ink.

Hmmm.... I see more differences in the various kon pekis than I do in the 5 fuyu gakis

All my greenish blues are very temperamental, or to put it more precisely, vary wildly depending on the nib, how much the pen evaporates, the paper, the ambient temperature... In the case of Équinoxe 6, probably the alignment of the stars.

Great comparison! Thank you! I really appreciate your inclusion of Fuyi-Gaki for contrast. I think it really shows the depth of Kon-Peki. This comparisons are really great!

      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
