Well done, a solid, sincere, and informative review. How could you go wrong with a magnificent pen like that.

Congratulations, and Thank You for sharing.

10 out of 10 on the review.

Warning:Seriously dangerous to the pocketbook.

Same pen, same nib, different color.

 

Great daily writer, no difficult to use at all.

I just need to keep it a little more vertical than I usually do with large pens.

 

 

For writing samples, this hi-res pic may be useful.

I want to buy this pen (same model, color, even the nib point). I don't have any experience with Stub nibs before. How is it for daily writing? I read from forums that Stubs are less demanding than Cursive Italics which produce a finer horizontal stroke. Can u post some pics of writing samples using ur Mikado?

 

thanks.

 

The only difference in writing that I have found is that the Mikado has such a large honkin nib, that it takes up much more space than a regular sized nib and you have to accomidate for that between the lines of the paper you write on!

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
