Skb F20 And F19


drathbun

Recommended Posts

I just ordered two of these SKB F20 and one of the SKB F19 pens on eBay. The F20 is $3.29US and the F19 is $2.98. I watched chrisrap52's YouTube video on the F19 and thought I'd give them a try. For these prices it will be a lovely surprise if they turn out to be nice writers but no biggie if they end up being tossable. I bought a pack of three Uniball rollerball fine points the other day for more than these three pens.

 

I know they are plastic, but I like the colours and the clear feeds. I also like the F20 body style as it matches my Kaigelus and my Picasso.

 

But mostly, I like that they have a blind cap that unscrews and has a silicone O-ring the seals the bottom and there are no metal parts in the section, so the converter can be tossed and these pens used as eyedroppers. The transparent version that chrisrap52 reviews is a little more expensive.

 

I purchased one F20 in green and one in black, and one F19 in black. Here are the colour options for both pens:

Not all feed/nibs are made for being an eye-dropper. I did this once with a Platinum Preppy and the EF (when using a cartridge) became a B.

      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
