I wish Pilot and others would make a fancy cartridge of high quality clear plastic like the Con-40 or Con-70 that we could syringe refill. These would look great in demonstrator pens.
It's always the pens you can't get now. The violet is real pretty. Ode, since you love these pens. I need your advice. I like the Kaweco's except the grooves at the grip section, they cut into my fingers with the Sport. Can you tell me which pen that has a longer grip section that would not cut into my middle finger when writing. Right now I am using Washi tape wrapped around them to cut down on that. Maybe the Original or D2 would work? I like to eye dropper the non-metal pens. Or any other Kaweco that comes to mind.
Never thought I would say this, but I prefer my Jinhao over the new Parker 51. Not the vintage one, which I own also and been writing with her for over 30 years now, but the Jinhao is a better writer than the new Parker 51, and the price is an obvious advantage. I actually own now 3 Jinhao 86 (the version with a smooth cap) and 3 Jinhao 85, every one of them with black, blue and red barrels (My favorite colors), and all of them together didn´t cost me the price for I payed for the new Parker 51. Even better is a Wing Sung 601. It´s also a Parker 51 inspired fountain pen, but with a sliding cap, I really dislike all the turns to uncap my new Parker, a piston filling system and a ink window much in the style of the Montblanc 149 ink window.
Its a really beautifully build pen, i had one in fp and one rollerball, but i was wondering why on the inner cap of the rollerball is plastic but the fp has some kind of aluminium threading on the inner cap
An unfortunate name to American ears, as it rhymes with ketchup. Not very classy. Kaweco used to make a beautiful, larger sketch pencil in black resin, but I can no longer find it on the market.
Why does this seem so much nicer than the 2021 edition? Edit: That said i think i can see why you're selling it. The cartridge converter is nice (durable + convinient and you can use cartridges if you prefer) but it's still got drawbacks compared to the original versions. Less good plastic and smaller gem which seems like an odd choice. A blind cap to access the converter would have been cool though! Missed opportunity.
Wow. That is a really nice pen. Too bad they don't restock. They still have some but they are the special nibs. I want a regular medium or broad nib. Your collection is great!
Has anyone carried the Pineider pen filler or Visconti traveling inkwell on an Airplane. I am wondering how it would react from any air pressure changes. I am looking forward to buy one.
When I was a kid the most common type of pens sac fillers, I found they got a better fill if I removed the metal cover and just twisted the aur out of the tube, so you just need a tube that can go around the feed and is sealed on the other end, plastics might be damaging though so you could get a glass blower to make a tube that just fits the dimensions and refill with a syringe, you dont even need to send them the pen just the dimensions
Congratulations OdE on your new pen. I Recently received a beautiful German osmis faber castell fountain pen from the 1940. It is in such a wonderful condition for being over 80 years 😁
Of the five lined up together at the end of your video, I like the one second from left, best. I only own five different Kaweco pens today. The ones I cared for and loved most. I gave away the rest to others.
OdE,Glad you werte able to get the Goldspot exclusive amethyst sport! Thank you for showing the other purple sports for comparison. I like seeing them all. I love Kaweco sports; have 4 of them:a Classic,Skyline,ART,and a Bronze. My favorite Kaweco is still the Dia2 with a Broad nib.
Seconded. My own favorite Kaweco is the Dia2 with a B nib. I have the bi-color 14k gold nib on it. The steel Premium nibs are also just as good. I have a B, M, BB, and 1.1 stub Premium steel nib on the only other Kawecos I own: a Copper Lilliput, a red AC Sport, a Steel Sport and an Elite.
@@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita The pen should never have been discontinued. The first Kaweco with the #6 nib, the Elite is one I love nearly as much as the Dia2. To me, these two are the best Kaweco pens made, at least of the modern models.
@@sajjadhusain4146 My favorite is one that doesn't exist: a mix between the Dia2 and Elite. Which would become something very similar to a Parker Centennial Duofold...
Thank you so so much for this pen comparison. I have been considering getting the Sailor Profit L but wasn’t sure if i would enjoy writing with it. I already have the kaigelu 356 and since you showed to comparison in terms of size i think i should be ok with the Sailor but maybe not so soon. Because it’s a lot of money but understandably it’s a 21k nib.
Paulo, thanks for doing this FNPT. And for sharing with us all by talking about some of the bad luck, troubles and sorrows in your life over the last 2 years and more. My sincere condolences for the passing of your late, loved mother and your irreplaceable loss. Losing a parent or a sibling can be indescribably painful. I’m hoping and praying that you can once again find some peace, strength and happiness in your life, from now onwards., with or without your YT channel. Ok, to your topics. Like you, my relationship with and love for fountain pens goes back a very long way. I never left or came back to FPs; I stayed with them since the first time I discovered and began writing with them. I first owned and used a fountain pen when I was just 11. And I’ve used FPs ever since (I’m 49 now). But yes, it’s only over the past 6 years that I’ve been regularly buying and collecting lots of FPs (and bottled inks) and watching pen channels on YT. I’ve not felt even a little of anything like ‘burnout’ with my fountain pens, inks and paper. My love and enjoyment of the hobby in its entirety is undimmed and strong as ever. The only burnout I’ve felt is with viewing pen reviewers and channels on YT. So, I’ve serially unsubscribed and stopped watching most of them for many reasons. I definitely did the right thing. I’ve always liked both snap caps and screw-on caps. But if forced to choose, I think I quite prefer screw caps, in general. You showed loads of very nice snap cap pens here. I own several of them myself. The Sheaffer PFM, Legacy, vintage Aurora 88, Parker 51, Waterman Edson, Carene, Pilot Elite particularly are among my favorite pens with snap caps. Which is your favorite Italian, German and Japanese pen, respectively?
Welcome back! It was so nice to see this episode of FNPT . Speaking personally I have really missed your videos, your knowledge of pens and your entertaining analysis of various pen designs. Thank you for sharing personal information about your life and the reasons for not releasing many videos in the last couple of years. I can fully understand how you didn't have the energy to make RU-vid content with all the things going on in your life. I hope things have improved for you and you continue to enjoy the pen hobby. About burnout, I have also watched PenBoyRoy and Waski Squirrel talk about this. I continue to write everyday with fountain pens both at work and at home. However, I feel like I have experienced a form of burnout. I no longer have the enthusiasm to buy pens. In my "journey" I have acquired some good pens over the years. Some were new, others were vintage. It is not often I buy pens now as my "journey" has almost reached an end. I could go on buying pens but would I use them? Probably not. Already I have too many some have only been inked once or twice. Another type of burnout I have experienced is watching fountain pen videos on RU-vid. A few years ago I would watch, absorb and learn as much as I could about pens. There were fewer RU-vid pen channels and I subscribed to a lot of them. Nowadays everyone seems to want to start a pen channel. The world seems overloaded by fountain pen channels. A lot of the information on these channels I have heard many times before and so it becomes repetitive. Also, I don't have enough hours in the day to watch every new channel that is popping up. So, I watch my favourites and the channels that have been around for a good few years. As for topic 2, about pens with non-threaded caps, for the last few weeks I've been using a pen you didn't mention; the Lamy Safari. The cap is so easy to take off and put back on again for writing quick notes. Also, it is almost silent in operation.
Love your videos. I will follow as long as you post them! You are a large reason I fell in love with Kaweco fountain pens. There is a playful quality to how Kaweco experiments with material and design that aligns beautifully with your love of collecting. I am so sorry for your difficult last few years and am grateful that you still found time to do a few videos for us. Your recent Art Sport and Piston Sport videos were the best I have found regarding the many questions I had for both pen types. Thank you for everything and I am sending love your way during these grieving times. 🙏🏻
@@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita It was just right. It helps foster understanding and connection when people are willing to share the truth of their life with others. Thank you again.
One of my eight safety razors is 3D printed. It’s the only one of its kind I have. This is a very fine looking pen in its size and design aesthetics. The all-black is particularly appealing. And you mentioned the feel of the texture of the body . I’m not at all keen on a Jinhao steel nib. I wonder if a #8 Bock gold nib could be fitted here. That would enhance the pen’s appeal a lot more in my eyes. And if the price was right, I’d even consider buying it. 🙂
I like it, and I like its rough finish. I am not sure... At the moment he says he is planning to do it. But in the future maybe. If he does I will announce here in the channel.
Fantastic video, Paulo. Pens of the month are always really fun to watch. Because the pens are always a treat. I didn’t really watch nor comment on your few recent random videos on Kaweco pens. But I went into this one straight away. 🙂 A bunch of great and very desirable pens here. The Marlen is intriguing. Very original and vintage-y vibe to the design appearance. If I were living near you, I’d love to hold and try it out, maybe even offer to buy it from you. Both the Parker pens are very different to each other - and differently beautiful. I wouldn’t mind owning them both myself. The Pilot Elite is really nice. That inlaid nib is a Pilot specialty. And everybody knows that the Sailor KoP is one of my absolute favorite pens of all time. And you got a special and pretty yellow one. I remember your translucent dark green one, too. Your Sheaffer Legacy I is a beauty. It’s good you chose to use the Touchdown filler, it’s so much more fun than c/c. But it’s very good the pen has both options available. Besides, you got it at such a nice price. The Waterman Edson is just fountain pen royalty. I have the same gorgeous emerald pen with gold trim and an 18k M nib. It was my grail for many years until I finally found one for $500. Whenever you’re relaxed and feel up to it, the Friday Night Pen Thoughts needs to come back. All the best!
Thank you for always being there, interested in the channel despite the inactivity for the last 2 years. I know we share some of the pen preferences. I love the Sailor KoP in yellow because I love yellow. But the translucent green is also beautiful and it always "calling me" to be inked up with the matching Montblanc Racing Green ink. The Sheaffer is an amaxing writer, almost too wet for me. But it is really a different pen. It has its very own distinctive character. The Edson is a beautiful pen. It makes sense along some designs from the same era: The Waterman Edson and the Carène (although the Serenitè was also stunning) and the Parker 100 and the Duofold (at the time they were playing with resin variations I loved, such as the pinstripe and the check)... Thank you! I am working on the ideas (not really a script - I don't do that) for the next Friday Night Pen Thoughts. It may come this week or the next one. It depends on how I can manage my time.
@@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita Oh, many more thanks is due to you for still putting out quality content, even if not as much as before. I’ll always remain subscribed to your wonderful channel and watch your videos. Oh yes, our pen passions overlap quite a lot, not least with vintage Auroras, to name just one of our shared loves in pens. Very happy to hear about the upcoming FNPT video. It’s a highlight of your channel that I like a lot. No pressure, just do it whenever you can manage best. I’ve bought seven pens this year, so far. All Italian pens. Aurora, Stipula, Scribo, Santini. They really should give me a special discount for my loyalty and spending so much on these pens. 🙂 I really want an urushi on ebonite KoP. I’ll dream and wait until I decide to go for it.
@@sajjadhusain4146 I know... I think there should be an Aurora in this video... and I've been wanting to re-ink my Aurora Duo Cart (modern) in yellow... Nice choices, and yes, they should five you a discount... Italian pens are not cheap. Which Stipula did you get? I never used one yet.
@@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita…Yes, at least one (any) Aurora among a currently inked pen lineup is always specially welcome to my eyes. The modern Duo Cart remains special to me. I sold two, kept the other two in my collection (the burgundy and light green). You may remember that I love your vintage blue Duo Cart (burgundy section) just as much. I’ve fallen heavily in love with Stipula pens over the past 3-4 years. I now own twelve Stipulas, in resin, celluloid and ebonite. I recently bought a Stipula Etruria (faceted celluloid) Volterra to add to my fleet of dozen gorgeous and beloved Stipulas. They are a small company with a niche fan base, I guess. I’m a big fan. Still quite overlooked and under-appreciated, but I love the pens and have been lucky with no QC issues with any of them, so far. I will buy more. I’m now seriously considering buying the sterling Aurora (Optima) A. Goldoni pen, hopefully. The price is crazy, but I want it and won’t give up. I also managed to buy three OMAS pens over the last three years.
Thank you! I love the KoP and yellow is my favourite color for pens. This Verdigris Pilot is my second Pilot 743. I really enjoy it and the thought for the first one was "if only there was a 823 but being a cartridge pen"... By the time I didn't know about it. When I found it existed and was called 743 I had to buy it. I don't have a 823.
