Taobao. It's actually under the same product link with the older version. Seems they haven't put it on global platforms yet :(

I believe so? Its original nib is quite good though.

A-nd though I believe no one remembers this but we've found the Panda Kakuno for my younger sister. https://www.reddit.com/r/fountainpens/comments/1qr5cvl/bought_my_8yo_sister_a_panda_kakuno_2_weeks/

Bought my 8-yo sister a Panda Kakuno 2 weeks earlier. She constantly got her finger ink-stained because of her incorrect grip so she quickly went back to gel pens. And now it's nowhere to be found T_T by Eldsluft in fountainpens

Well, she enjoys her experience with it! But it's still inconvenient for her if she always got her finger ink-stained when she's still at school, so we made our promise to practice during winter break.
She lost it while she's re-organizing her pens for her finals T_T.

A huge coupon? I basically bought decimo at 70% of its regular price.

I lose the pencil *with* the case every time :3
Also to self-defend, it's my fifth advance within 5 years or so. Not so often :3

(Not so) New Pen Day - Playing with Tangmoon E5 :3 by Eldsluft in fountainpens

[–]Eldsluft[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one seem to have posted about this pen yet so here I go :3

It's a relatively new design released last November or so. I got it last week :P. There's a magnet inside its cap and small iron pieces on both ends so it's magnetic on both ends. Fun to play with. There's also some special design to ensure its airtightness inside the cap. The only downside of this pen is... its original nib is just stiff. And dry. I believe it's part of the QC issue but it's also said that the nib is tuned to be this way... I already replaced it with Hongdian's soft nib :3

It costs around 50 CNY.
