maru nib review (tachikawa, nikko, mantian) and eiem manga paper 

yes its a local brand, not worth buying anyway. i still use tachikawa t-77 to this day, japanese nibs are the best

That's bamboo holder

all maru nibs are made of steel. there is no nib made of polycarbonate, probably the info is wrong or its the packaging material. polycarbonate is a kind of transparent plastic. as far as i know nikko only have 1 type of maru, tachikawa have 2 type hard and soft. if you want consistent thin lines go for nikko or tachikawa hard, if you want more line variation go for tachikawa soft.

@@AjiAbramArt I just had an email exchange with Jet Pens & they confirm that both types are metal, so I ordered some. Thank you for your information, Larry. By the way, it seems that Tachikawa is the manufacturer for Nikko, Tachikawa, & Deleter, maybe Zebra as well. Did you know Zebra makes a Maru nib as well?

@@larryglatt2548 cool enjoy your pen! yes zebra makes maru too, one other japanese brand that went global is kuretake. not sure if tachikawa is the manufacturer of which brand i haven't tried the other brand.

biasanya kalau tinta mengering di ujungnya jadi gt, tiap tinta abis lap pakai tisu ujung pena-nya, kalau ada yg kering celup ke air dulu. kalau pakenya sambil diteken juga cepet abis karena tinta yg keluar banyak. nyimpennya keadaan kering dan bersih biar ga karatan

@@AjiAbramArt saya sih selalu cepet KLO dipake langsung habis GK kaya orang orang yang ad divido yutub KLO dividio lama bng habisnya dan tulisan pun bagus KLO GK cepet habis

cant remember, maybe mantian but i would never use it anyway, too scratchy and damages the paper too easily

cobain semua bro wkwk, ane baru nyoba yg tachikawa sama nikko. kyknya nikko sama kyk zebra. tachikawa ada yg versi soft itu yg ane pake, enak buat tebal tipis gambar kecil, kalo gambar gede tebal tipis enak g nib. maru yg merk lain mungkin sama kyk tachikawa versi hard.
