Piston Filler Comparison (M600, Lamy 2000, Pilot Ch92, Twsbi)

Thanks for the great review.

 

My Pilot CH92 FM (with Waterman Serenity Blue ink) writes about the same line width was Pelikan M200 F (with Peilikan 4001 Royal Blue ink). However, CH92 is much wetter - may be because Waterman is a wet ink(?).

 

Your TWSBI writing samples show 580 EF got thicker lines than 580 F - which is a bit odd. TWSBI got quality control issues in their nib sizes?

I kind of noticed that too. Maybe because of the ink? Perhaps?

Congrats on the new pen. I have read that Japanese mediums run about as wide as a western medium and sometimes this catches people off guard since the F and XF nibs are so much finer than western nibs. It's another reason I haven't purchased a Sailor pen. I want to get their MF nib, but it's offered in a very limited range of pens. Japanese FM is my ideal nib size for Japanese pens. Pelikan XF and Pilot FM is pretty much identical in line width.

I don't own any CH92, but I wish I did. However, I have two Metropolitan M and they're slightly finer than my Lamy AL-star F. Isn't the nib width the same for Metropolitan and CH92?

      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
