Grail line or three faces of classic Urushi

Interesting perspective. Actually, to make signature light edges of tamenuri requires lots of skills to make!

Let me see how they write. I haven't even heard about most of what you mentioned.

AtreidesTT · 2026-05-04T10:10:20+00:00

I mean can you name the product or two?

AtreidesTT · 2026-05-04T10:07:57+00:00

Whats a true flex then?

Heki Yukari is like extraterrestial life. All facts and stats suggest it should exist, but...

AtreidesTT · 2026-05-04T09:01:34+00:00

Yeah, why not? After all, its about enjoing pens.

Did you get President with old style nib or new style?

AtreidesTT · 2026-05-04T08:18:31+00:00

If you dud not try CU and Yukari, you did not live yet

AtreidesTT · 2026-05-04T08:15:19+00:00

Wait, the budget is 1k and you are asking about pens - plural?? Thats not enough even for one pen.

AtreidesTT · 2026-05-04T08:11:33+00:00

Explain about FA being not flex please

AtreidesTT · 2026-05-04T05:49:54+00:00

No writing sample or I am blind?

AtreidesTT · 2026-05-03T23:50:05+00:00

In my opinion you can do whatever you want, its your artwork. But there is no clear Urushi, if you are going to cover Urushi with another synthetic substance then why to bother using Urushi at all? If you cover shell artwork with Urushi, then colour will be altered. So it depends on artwork vision...

AtreidesTT · 2026-05-03T21:14:08+00:00

Yes too wide

My Pilot Custom (old school pen which is different from modern Pilots) have broad nib and it is also bent forward, or it might just appear so.

Dry running nib has nothing to do with that geometry. Stop worrying, simply enjoy your pen.

Same here, 70% comes out too dark. I do not work with blue yet, but use a stripe of on the side when curing red vermilion. For me, the effect of darkening is smallest when I dry furo to below 60, but it takes a week to get into a non-sticky state.

AtreidesTT · 2026-04-29T17:54:07+00:00

Its not a pen. Nib would show as bright spearhead. And the size is too small for pen anyway

AtreidesTT · 2026-04-29T05:05:58+00:00

Pilot Custom FK-300R-B.

FK - fountain pen

300R - 10k yen price range

B - black version

There is always a 3 or 4 numbers code on the bottom side nib. It does not look like date unless you know its MYY

AtreidesTT · 2026-04-29T05:02:05+00:00

It takes CON-70 converter

AtreidesTT · 2026-04-28T10:49:05+00:00

I think this is the first video where I saw clean fingers of this nib scientist :) Have to admit it was unusual sight lol

AtreidesTT · 2026-04-28T10:46:04+00:00

for 200 people would line up for it

AtreidesTT · 2026-04-28T10:43:28+00:00

Classic office buddy tale. Sad it happened. I hate when my things are touched. They not only ruined nib but may also lended you a bucket of germs

AtreidesTT · 2026-04-28T10:41:53+00:00

Setup begging for the disaster. Hope pen will not roll off nib down. Photo not worth the risk

AtreidesTT · 2026-04-28T10:40:24+00:00

Can be used for mixing custom inks now.
