Kakuno : Japan Vs North American Version

[Mongoosey]

well well, I had taken the White barrel version and put the Grey cap ( from an all Grey finish pen ) on it, the silk printed on legend is wiped all off wit just nail polish remover ( denatured alcohol basically ) ; the nib can be swapped for anything from any of Pilot's own and that some from Chinese Mfr ( and they are actually quite good ) ... and oh well, Con-70 also ; its no more and no less in looks as say contemporary peers like the Safari

 

I know. There's not much that I'd want to have changed about the Kakuno.

 

Like how Platinum created the Prefounte, which is basically a Preppy with a metal clip, I'd like Pilot to just add a metal clip to the Kakuno, make the cap snap on like the Prera, cover up the holes so I can eyedropper it if I felt like it, and keep the rest.

 

I think, for Pilot, that would be a rather cost efficient way of creating a Safari-like pen instead of sticking with that Explorer model, especially with how popular the Kakuno is.
