Pilot Knight

[CharlieB]

The Pilot Knight and the Lamy Safari are about the two best buys in all of fountainpendom.

It's almost in the category of the Rotring 600--very solid and heavy, built like a tank. However, the barrel coating will scrape off if impacted against something very hard (this happened to mine). The 600 seems practically scratch proof, like hard anodizing level III. You can't go wrong with having one of these in your writing arsenal. Nice review, Kissing, from over 1.5 years ago!

I recently ordered a burgundy Pilot Knight thanks to the great review by Kissing.

 

It is a heavy pen, but I take off the cap to write. Because of balance, I hold the pen with my fingers on the very end of the nib holder. The pen is a fine flow but a generous one. I also remember a tip that Bittners in Carmel gave me: Pilot pen nibs can be used upside down without compromising on performance. The flow is extra fine, a bit drier than I like, but doable.

 

The other pens in my collection cannot be turned over and used without major scratch and tearing of paper fibres. Two pens for the price of one. What a great plus for this affordable pen.

 

 

 

Good, personal service from Pendemonium inspite of the Iowa floods that came close to their business street.
