Great review. I've had one of these since Christmas and use it almost every day. I agree about the finish. The barleycorn looks a lot better.

Very nice review. Congratulations on your new acquisition!

 

Thank you very much! I was quite hesitant at first because I only used to buy rhodium trim pens, but the smooooth buttery nib just make me forget about that.

Thanks! The barleycorn finish subtle without being too uninteresting.

Thanx for the review. I'm debating on the justus or the falcon

 

FPGeeks has a great comparison video between the Justus and the Metal Falcon. In my opinion, the justus is just as flexible as the falcon without any skipping or railroading issues, and the added option of making the nib stiffer for casual writing.

It's a really smooth nib, but whenever I try to flex it just railroads epically. I set the knob to full hard and gave up trying to get any meaningful variation.

Nice review, and pretty good penmanship too! I was considering the Justus when shopping for a new pen late last year, but ended up with a Sailor instead. While I don't regret the decision to get one at all, this makes me seriously consider getting a Justus as well. Some time later on, though, as I'm self-enforcing moderation in my expenses :rolleyes:

 

Out of curiosity, how long did it take Engeika to ship here to the Philippines? I've been eyeing their online store for a while now since they have really good prices, but... yeah :P


Cheers!

Don't forget about the Falcon bends down on the upstrokes which can scare some people. (Like me)

The ink flow on mine isn't good enough for flexing. I've used it for quite some time, so it can't be an issue with the converter. Anyone got any ideas?

It might help if you tell us what ink you're using. Some are better in a flex nib than others.

Great review, couldn't agree more about rhodium trim, and at the price you got it it's much more palatable!

      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
