I just received my Crystal.

 

The keeper on the pen case was broken.

 

That is the sum of my criticisms. Bear in mind that for $42 shipped it came with a pen case).

 

Other than a few blemishes on the surface of the pen, it is absolutely perfect!

 

I opened the package, started filling the pen with Sheaffer purple, and was dissapointed to find that it would not write. I continued to fill it and added some ink to the feed. All of a sudden, the pen started to write beautifully and has not stopped once I got the feed saturated. I did not get the upgraded Jowo nib, but asked for the nib to be inspected before shipping (a no cost option).

It writes a beautiful fine, just slightly finer than a European fine. Perfect flow. Based on this, I don't know why I would get the upgraded nib and I have pens that cost thousands of dollars.

 

Overall, I am very happy with the pen, and would have no hesitations to recommend this to anyone.

 

Oh, ....the pen is beautiful as well...

 

 

That's so excellent !

 

I love it when someone says they are very happy with their pen !

I put my savings to test

Lamy & Pilot FPs the Best

No more I even think of the rest

(Preference Fine and Extra Fine Nibs)

Pen is meant for writing - not for looking :-)

      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
