Thanks, Tas. Thoroughly enjoyable review. If I were going to review pens, this is the sort of thing I'd shoot for (and miss). And that's a pretty nice-looking pen, too.

Great review, Tas!

I too enjoy my MiTu and lately have been using my amber colored one daily.

 

One complaint others have noted is that the thin section can be uncomfortable for long writing sessions, but I heard that newer models have a slightly wider section than the original. The pictures on Taobao look the same. Can anyone confirm or deny that the section width has been changed?

 

I'm thinking about getting another one but would prefer a wider section.

Nice review and enjoyed the doodles, LIY MITU just put their prices just above my current price threshold.

They look very nice though

They are much cheaper within country than internationally like on eBay, but still the price is a little high considering you could get a Wing Sung with 14k nib for less than the MiTu.

 

11/11 is the biggest shopping day of the year in China and everything goes on sale then, so it might go down to a more reasonable price for a day or two.

Noted boss 11/11 it is, too bad it is still 1 month away

My Taobao shopping cart is already loaded with the pens I've been wanting through multiple sellers to see which one offers the lowest price at midnight on 11/11.

 

It's crazy, so many people shop at once on that moment every year that the internet in China literally breaks for a several seconds. Just imagine millions of people all trying to check out on the same app at the same time.
