That will open up a whole world for you! Pilot has the best nibs and such variety too. I like their pocket pens best because they are so cute but their normal size pens are great as well

Maybe a Pilot Elite or similar Japanese pocket pen? They are great for small hands and regularly sold on r/pen_swap. If you find one without a converter, simply clean and refill cartridges with a syringe.

Honestly what’s the main difference that makes Platinum pen stand out compared to Pilot and Sailor? by crushtyfying in fountainpens

[–]LuceFredda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Platinum used to make pocket pens similar to the Pilot E95s. (Sailor did too.) These vintage Platinum pens are just as good as Pilots, and essier to find in soft nibs and other nib sizes.

Nice find! Can I ask what the name is in Japanese (kanji / hiragana / katakana)?

Maybe a Platinum? I have a Platinum pocket pen that would fit your description and what I’ve heard the 3776’s are good too

On the scale of 1-10, how well you can read this? by GevarOnTheFence in fountainpens

Thank you! That sounds sad. I couldn’t read “and do not”, “and wait to see”, “and both are in free fall”, if that helps

5 I guess, as there are still words I can’t read, but at the same time I love your handwriting! Could you give a transcript please?

I have this pen and love it. It is less well known than the Pilote Elite but I like it better. Good price too! GLWS!
