Namisu Sale

[WLSpec]

This may be too little, too late, but I hate breaking promises, so here's the comparison (and a little more)

 

 

1. Diplomat Aero

2. Faber Castell e-motion

3. Pilot VP

4. Namisu Orion

5. Karas Kustoms Ink, V2

6. PenBBS 350

7. Michael's Fatboy Stealth

8. Tuff Writer Precision Press

Lucky! I wanted one of those Fatboy fountain pens, but they don't make them anymore, do they?

 

I have yet to try a Namisu and I've heard good things so it might be an opportunity.

Its not too late Joseph, I really appreciate your posting this. The emotion is too short for me but otherwise would have been really comfortable. I dont trust the orion section shape to be comfortable but I'll look at their other pens. Do they have any threading issues?

Yeah, it was pure, luck. I was at a pen show and I passed by a booth where some guys had a table full of random pens. Neither guy really knew what it was.

Glad I could still be of service. I don't have threading issues like I've had with some other pens.

Unfortunately, the customer service and quality control issues that many people experienced with Namisu's previous Kickstarter campaigns are legion, and attempts to assist them by pointing out the benefits of hiring a customer service representative or selling through trusted retailers are falling on deaf ears - indeed they even seem to be blocking people from raising such concerns on social media. Some of the pens have been good in the past but I would struggle to recommend the company until it gets its house in order.
