Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The pen isn’t too small, but it’s very comfortable to hold. It creates some nice line variations and makes my writing have a bit more flair. While writing, it feels like the pilot su nib writes slightly smaller that my twsbi stub 1.

This has the best nib i've ever used on a fountain pen. The nib is ultra smooth and big as well. I also have the g manga nib for a dip pen.

As with other higher end pilot pens, this is a well finished pen that oozes quality. This pen is awesome. Super pen. This is a super pen.

The fa nib is the softest, most flexible i've ever used. It is a fine fountain pen with a very soft nib to add some uniqueness to your writing. No modern fountain pen helps one achieve this as easily and as the classic pilot flexnib pen.

It's working perfectly with pilot iroshizuku inks (i used ku-jaku), great flow and no railroading while flexing the nib.

This has never happened to me, though i've only used pilot/namiki iroshizuku inks in this pen so far.

While writing, it feels like the pilot su nib writes slightly smaller that my twsbi stub 1.
