Scrikss 419 Fountain Pen Review


write to me often

Recommended Posts

Dear Fellow Penthusiast,

 

I would like to introduce you with Scrikss 419 fountain pen. Scrikss is a Turkish brand which made its production in Turkey about 70's. It was very popular back then. Nowadays they have the production mostly in China. 419 is considered a vintage pen since it is hard to find right now. The pen is quite similar to Pelikan M150 and M200. A piston filler, screw capped, daily workhorse.

It is a light pen with a smooth nib. Works out of box immediately. Has a medium flow. There is no indication on the nib. But it writes just between Medium and Fine

Interesting pen. Do you know if it was it exported much.

 

Just wondering if it would be found at all on American (North, South & Central) side of the Atlantic?

Dear brgmarketing,

 

Unfortunately it is really hard to find it since it is not produced anymore. But according to the rumours, Scrikss intends to manufacture it again.

I have a Scrikss 71. It is a very well made pen. I wish this brand was more widely available.

 

I really like them though. Like a piston filler Parker 51 except they don't offer or let's say they was not offering nib choices. I also have a review of iti if you would like to check http://www.banasikcayaz.com/2012/07/scrikss-vintage-17-and-71-fountain-pens.html

Nice review of a lesser known pen (at least to me, it is).Thank you!

 

Thanks pictogramax,

 

It is the most common brand in Turkey but unfortunately a less-known pen. I guess the reason why the company was in hibernation for a while but they decided to resurrect. I hope they will be coming with more classic pens.

I got my Scrikss 477 from Andy's pens. I think its great value for money and I writes very smooth gvfm.

 

Generally the nibs are quite smooth but they don't offer any other sizes. I am glad you liked it.

I also got mine from Andy's Pens. My 477 is a good writer and well balanced pen.

I only have two pens - an Aurora Optima and others.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
