Recommended Posts

While supplies last, we will be including a free Pilot "Tank" with all orders for Sailor pens.

 

Here's info on the Pilot Tank .... it's a beginner model made in the 1970s or 1980s, unusual in that it was intended to be used as an eyedropper. 

 

Here's our Sailor category ..... lots of new models at awesome prices!

The tank is a variant of an existing model of that time, isn't it? One that took cartridges.

The Tank had the eyedropper failing of burping & that foam insert has to go.

I got one of the small Wality pens with the 5.5mm feed and fitted the Pilot nib. Being a Japanese 'F' it is equal to a European 'EF' & is a higher quality item.

As an intro to eyedropper pens it served it's purpose. I really should have bought a 'M'.

The likes of the 'Tank' is good if you want to use ink that contains a high amount of iron-gall.

I'm not sure of other models like the "Tank." It's certainly a low end model, like the 78G.

      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

      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
