New: Platinum Curidas (Capless Type) Fountain Pen


Olya

Recommended Posts

Well, personally I don't care for the looks of the pen, so whether it infringes on Pilot's copyright is an interesting side discussion, but that's all. To me, the pen looks like a FP version of a Lamy Pico. Especially with that small nib coming out of a similarly shaped section. So I'll pass.

Thanks for the video, OCArt; I'm looking forward to this pen. I hope the EF performs like the DP800.

Will a platinum converter fit in the metal housing?

Pretty sure the converter should be compatible as per the note :

 

*Compatible with converters (Converter 700, 500) (Sold separately)

 

In the bottom part of the product page.

Despite the translucent body it looks like checking ink level is going to be a pain.

Seems so, unfortunately.

However I like that their normal converter will fit.

the video showing the knock looks really... uncomfortable. That's a much bigger flick of the thumb than a VP.

Well eat my nibs, I'm all in! :bunny01:

 

It's a bit more PenBBSy on the built quality and priced in the Pilot capless special alloy range but I think they have a winner.

They have time to iterate back to the elegance of 1965

Thank you for that curio, the first time I've seen a capless FP where the back of the body is the knock a la old Parker Dufold or 45 BPs, rather than the button.

Looking at that mechanism... Have they said if it will accommodate a converter?

The question has been answered and it is just a couple of posts above yours.

D'Oh! I scrolled right past it after watching the video. Apologies

When I read the Curidas would be selling 7000 yen, I assumed it'd be more expensive in international markets. However, both Lemur Ink and PenChalet have it on pre-order for $64, which is 6974¥ at the current exchange rate. Lemur's Instagram says it'll arrive mid- to late-February.

Does anybody know what this bulge at the nib end is? It doesn't seem to be there in other specimen (the red one) in other pictures.

I think it is in every color available. Not quite sure what that little bulge at the bottom is for.

      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
