Then don't click on the link, limesally. I was feeling the same way until I saw the other pictures and I just fell in love with the cool purples, blues, and grays. I can't wait to see when Jetpens gets these in!

It seems they are limited edition. But don't know they are limited to how many...

Does anybody have any other information about these? nib sizes for instance or are they going to be all medium as in the standard Prera and Knight pens?

ok from my understanding of the webpage, the converter is built in, so that means a bit more pricey than the Prera.

 

But from the photo it looks like it comes in fine and medium.

Oh dear...I want one now. I'm partial to demonstrators and I love Pilot F nibs. And there's just so many different colours to choose from!

The ten transparent colors in the two pictures in the middle of the page are medium nibs, and the fifteen solid colors at the bottom of the page are fine nibs.

 

(Twenty-five different versions? Are they trying to kill us?)

oops... just click that blog... and found some new bottles for the Iroshizhku Limited Editon...

yeah from what I can understand it comes in a 3 color set, so smaller bottles, but retail around 40 USD plus whatever additional the importer decides to put on it. I have a feeling we will not see these State side.

So, to those of you who read Japanese: are these pens meant to match the ink colors in the Iroshizuku line?

That is what it appears to be, but I can only fumble my way through it. I would have to defer to those more fluent...

The name of the limited edition model (Iroai) shares the first two characters of Iroshizuku, so you're presumably supposed to associate one with the other, but the vast majority of the colors have much more prosaic names. (Two of the fine nib colors do happen to share names with Iroshizuku colors, though.)

 

Medium nib colors: red, orange, light green, pink, light blue, peacock green, blue, blue-black, violet, black

 

Fine nib colors: pink, dark red, yamabudou (wild grape), yellow, yamabuki (a kind of golden yellow flower -- don't know what it's English name is), sky blue, turquoise blue, dark green, light green, yamaguri (wild chestnut), royal blue, dark blue, white, slate gray, black

Too late! I looked. Hopefully people here will get them, review them, and say "these are cheap, chintzy, horrible and scratchy and will make even Iroshizuki ink look like dishwater scraped on toilet paper with a toothpick." Yeah. That's the ticket.

Pilot makes a nice steel nib. So far they are the most consistent steel nibs I have used. I have several Prera's and Plumnix and they all write consistently the same in wetness and line width. I think even more so than the 74 and better lines.

      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
