Hello there,

 

how does the grip section of the Pilot Elite 95 compare to that of the Pilot M90 and the vintage Pilot Elite's sold by Speerbob?

 

Thanks for your help!

same... the design of the Long short Elite never changed... as compared to the M90 well that I think has differences

 

So, do I understand you correctly that the diameter of the Grip section is like the Vintage ones, not with more girth like the Pilot M90?

 

Thanks for your help!

 

Cheers,

 

Luis

Comparing the three, I see virtually no difference between the M90 and the modern Elite 95S, while Speerbob's vintage Elite is slimmer than both.

The new Elite 's body does not fit into the vintage Elite cap.

 

The M90, however, is a lot heavier than both Elites, so it feels rather different in the hand.

After having finally purchased the Elite 95S, I can finally say that the new version has indeed as much girth as a M90, and is therefore more comfortable to grip than the Vintage Elites. Hope that helps.

The main problem I have with the Elite 95S is that there are two finishes and I'm really struggling to not buy the other one as well!

Also, I need information from Luis: Are you a number or a free man?

A number, my friend, and unfree as ever, as we all are.

      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
