I have two of these pens - green and silver. They have not been used much as I find both of them to be unreliable. They are hard starters and skip a lot.

 

Hari - how did you remove the nib? Is it a push fit or screw, as I have not been able to remove mine.

Whatever is true,whatever is noble,whatever is right,whatever is pure,whatever is lovely,whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things.

Yes the nib and feed will pull out. it is very tight, do not attempt if you have not developed the feel for these things yet.

Mine doesn't skip but it will usually start on second stroke but after that no issue skipping. I read about other review and youtube, it says it is common on this model. I was thinking about removing the nib and refit it to see if there is a different but since I don't really use much (I use fine point nib) I did not try it.

Mine has a crack in the section, where the barrel screw on..Any idea where I can get a replace for this part?

Thanks in advance...

I have bought some of these pens from Printhardcopy, and he is on this board. He also sells through ebay. He might be a good person to contact. No affiliation, but a satisfied customer. I have not bought anything from him in a long time, but here is his recent ebay weblink: http://www.ebay.com/sch/printhardcopy/m.html . I hope you can find what you need.

 

All the best,

      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
