Review Of The Cross Peerless 125 Tokyo Edition

Recommended Posts

Fantastic nib - smooth and consistent line. However, I’m not really convinced by the converter: mine doesn’t work really well (it takes a lot of time to fill less than a half of the “cartridge”).

 

Super! :D

Think you should try another of the converters (or dissemble this to clean it and re-grease the seal), mine works quite smoothly.

Thank you! Good to know - I will try cleaning it first…

Great review and pics.

 

The Peerless is a marmite pen. The F nib is smooth and suits the pen design. It is imposing but not a shirt pocket pen.

 

I am unsure of any other American-Japanese collaboration.

Thanks for sharing 1nkulus :)

Some of the brands in CFP (nibs.com) can be said to be American-Japanese collaboration. Dunhill-Namiki of the yesteryears comes to mind too

AFAIK, Dunhill is a British brand.

 

The Peerless is similar to MB 149 when it comes to heft, probably heavier.

An AK47 FP would have been a welcome addition to the lineup.

 

It is also available with an XF nib, if you can find it.

 

The Peerless, IMO, is a VFM pen for its size, nib quality and heft.

Yes, but AFAIK, they are not making the pens themselves. They contracted with Namiki for that.

True, but I was highlighting the American-Japanese collaboration with the Peerless whereas Dunhill-Namiki would be construed as a British-Japanese collaboration (started in late 1920's).

Thanks for the clarification. Really appreciate it :)

CFP is also selling P125 nib-sections separately here, so it might be AK47 roller-ball + a nib-section

Although Sailor XF would be too extraaaa... for my taste :yikes:

I went for the “combo” AK47 rollerball + Fine nib section: both are a pleasure to use.

The combo fix would be the only option.

 

The XF nib would be a nice addition to the collection. Nothing like a Japanese XF apart from an XXF. :D

      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
