Hello all

just to share a little more of the Kaigelu 333; the pen review was done with the original nib before it was turned into cursive italic.

 

Have fun

Love the review, and the drawings :happyberet:

 

I have a Kaigela pen as well, a 221. A sleek black pen, but with a much more pronounced calligraphy nib, which I enjoy using for my drawing.

 

How did the nib modification into a cursive italic work here? Is it very different to the original nib?

 

As an Australian, I enjoy the idea of Kaigelu (Kangaroo) pen, and the stories about Australia that come with the pen. It makes me realise, that even in our world of globalisation....People still do have strange and romantic tales about far away countries.

Hi

i did the nib modification to produce line variations. So it is a fine italic with the following writing sample.

Now the nib writes with thin up stroke and broader down stroke.

 

Yes the pen is quite a quality made, and the good thing is that now Chinese pens are moving away from showy design...roflmho.gif

Nice review and great looking pen, thanks.

And how can this be, because he is the Kwisatz Haderach.

Haven't been here for a while. Needed to get another fountain pen, so dropped in to drool over some of the beauties and see what might actually be in my budget. Stumbled across the Kaigalu, checked out the reviews here, and ended up ordering a 316. Missed out on the really pretty colors, but the charcoal looked nice (so did the cream and black veined, but I was afraid it might be a little too flashy (may rethink that if the pen lives up to its reviews!) I hesitated over the fact it's made in China, but what the heck, I'm typing away on a laptop that was built in China for an American company and shipped directly to me from China. Weird. So guess I can live with an attractive, well-made Chinese pen that fits my retirement budget.

 

Still hoping someday to find a nice vintage pen I can afford, though. I was given a nice fountain pen, basic black with gold trim, when I graduated from high school in 1961, which went missing at some point, and I'd love to have something similar. Us older folks get nostalgic.

A bit off-topic, but if you are looking for a nostalgic black and gold pen, did you notice speerbob's offer of new old-stock Sheaffer Le Bordeaux pens here on the network today (https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php?/classifieds/item/1057-nos-sheaffer-le-bordeaux-fountain-pen-in-box/)? (no affiliation, but a frequent happy customer of Bob's)

      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
