I need a clip. It's a no-go for me. Not so happy about demonstrators either...

Looks too short unposted, but could be nicer posted. The inner ink helix does nothing for me, and I don't think it'll help with burping if that was their idea. Is it to help with surface tension? It seems it would do more harm than good to me. But one thing that does interest me is that it appears to fit either a Nº5 or Nº6 nib. I won't be getting one just to see that, but it is interesting.

Its not a helix its a series of curcular ridges on the inside wall of the barrel; I think they had done it outside in this time ; if they would had these ridges on the outside it would made a better design, in any case not really interested in any demonstrator

While I agree that they're made of grooves around the inside of the barrel, they definitely appear to be helical in nature (like the threads on the inside of a cap). I thought the copy said something about that (这 个 螺 旋 槽 并 不 只 是 为 了 好 看), though that's just based on what Yandex guesses and will certainly miss nuance, and the close up seems to indicate a slope in the ridges from lower left to upper right. But I suppose I'll have to wait to see if anybody buys one and comments on it.

My wrong ; I go back and re read the text yes its a screw thread and look like its single screw thread though I had to agree with the copy writer for the ad saying - " other than a good look I really do not see anything else " - they sure can be entertaining ...

 

It should be pointed out that the pen can be had with either a no.5 gold plated nib F or a no.6 chromed nib FM

Thanks for that, I find that line just as entertaining! :lticaptd:

 

Edited to add, if anybody's looking at these, they're now on eBay and Etsy for around $17 shipped.

Gonna get the clear silver nib version.

Overall design seems quite strange though.

A new ribbed pen! I'm so happy about that! There aren't nearly enough ribbed pens out there!!

 

Any idea if the feed is the same as that excellent feed in the M2? Best darn eyedropper feed out there!

I think it is cute.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

I think you're in luck, the gold plated number 5 nib looks like the nib from the newer batches of M2. And I agree, best eyedropper pen that I own; never burped on me. Too bad the cap lip cracked.

Love demonstrators and how small it seems to look. Ill pick one up, but I'm sad to see that the design was copied.

Looks like a cool pen, but indeed it looks short and without a clip, it has limited use as a work pen. Also, though the section looks ergonomic, I would bet it is not actually that comfortable because it does step down a lot from the barrel.

It's actually a terrific and rather stylish pen. I have a Bexley broad in mine. I've been using it all week. Haven't had to fill it up again yet. Cheap as chips and better than many expensive pens I own. It isn't small at all (it's bigger than a Parker 51 which is hardly a 'pocket' pen) and having no clip makes it near-perfect, looks wise.

      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
