Thanks for posting, great information on the Tuzu by Sailor. Cannot wait for it to appear on Amazon USA. -

The way I see it now, the Sailor TUZU (with retail price of ¥4,500+tax) is positioned as a direct competitor to the Platinum Procyon (now with retail price of ¥6,000+tax, up from ¥5,000+tax when first released). Spring-loaded inner cap to better prevent ink evaporation — check. Being able to draw ink up even when the ink level in the bottle is low — check. Refreshed nib design, made better than the entry-level steel-nibbed models (for Sailor, the Lecoule, Profit Jr, and HighAce Neo; for Platinum -

Interesting. From the sounds of it, the nib is at least acceptable. -

The TUZU's M nib, when I tried it in the store, wrote too broadly for my requirements and preferences. I didn't bother testing the B nib, even though it was offered. As for the F nib, it's smoother and less feedback-y than the steel F nibs on the Sailor Profit Casual and Procolor 500 fountain pens. Kinda like a better, less flimsy-feeling version of the Sailor Lecoule's and Profit Jr.'s steel MF nibs. -

Nice. I see you got the Sailor TUZU LE Translucent Blue. I would've gotten this colorway too, if I were to buy one; I don't think it's available in NA yet. I heard the B nib has a pleasant "Sailor pencil-like" feedback. I wonder what the F and M are like.
