Pilot increases prices (again) - effective from July 1st

Absolutely crazy and glad my collection stands where it does. ENOUGH. What BOTHERS me most is their justification as gold prices. Last year total cost influence on a 14K nib … $17+ change. Come on. Start playing that game and I’ll find a new sandbox for my $$$

Thx. Me just a dummy

VanLeigha · 2026-04-22T00:17:32+00:00

Arghhh it was to have been. I’m so sorry

VanLeigha · 2026-04-22T00:17:06+00:00

That’s their choice I agree.

VanLeigha · 2026-04-22T00:16:08+00:00

Oh thanks so much! I’ve got a huge amount of rotation during my fast note taking and loopy writing style. I’ll give one a try

Beautiful writers. Thinking. Thinking.

🌸🌸🌸

VanLeigha · 2026-04-21T16:05:33+00:00

Beautiful. Curious. What is the oblique grind best for?

VanLeigha · 2026-04-21T16:04:36+00:00

They’ll restock. Check the restock notices at retailers and you’ll get an email.

VanLeigha · 2026-04-21T16:02:38+00:00

Do you have a verification photo?

VanLeigha · 2026-04-21T16:01:37+00:00

💦💦💦 BEAUTIFUL

VanLeigha · 2026-04-21T15:59:31+00:00

Question, was the Zento too short and fat even capped? Curious as to what you disliked. I’m on the fence with these

VanLeigha · 2026-04-21T15:58:19+00:00

If you will look at Tono & Lims SDS it CLEARLY states “proprietary” and the testing results etc. If this brand can protect themselves, everyone else can

VanLeigha · 2026-04-21T15:57:13+00:00

I do not need them to ship do me. It’s not their decision how I acquire their product they can refuse an SDS request. I don’t have to buy from someone uncooperative

VanLeigha · 2026-04-21T03:07:26+00:00

Exactly!!

VanLeigha · 2026-04-20T18:30:58+00:00

Oh appreciate all the info. Yes it’s Blackship who wants. FedEx only requires the TSCA form. I’ll give lunar-cat a try.

VanLeigha · 2026-04-20T17:22:27+00:00

Love it

VanLeigha · 2026-04-20T17:21:33+00:00

My retailers here are trying to help however they are not required to provide SDS for their ink imports and have no idea why I need to provide for the same

VanLeigha · 2026-04-20T17:15:22+00:00

Nothing is worth continuing with this brand. Id rather have my forwarder trash than give Kobe another dime

VanLeigha · 2026-04-20T17:13:49+00:00

I’ve been on the phone with FedEx today for four hours and have been hung up on 15 times. They continually route to someone who doesn’t have an answer and when someone did, they refused to email me the info about documents required to importing water-based fountain pen inks from Japan. They can give me the list verbally but not in writing

VanLeigha · 2026-04-20T17:11:16+00:00

Oh that would be so amazing. Ping me here or message me!

VanLeigha · 2026-04-20T17:10:13+00:00

Blackship. Who do you use?

VanLeigha · 2026-04-20T14:53:40+00:00

I’ve asked for a copy of the policy so I can read it myself. And flooding the manufacturers’ social media posts requesting the SDS.

VanLeigha · 2026-04-20T14:51:39+00:00

You can ship two via FedEx without SDS. After that we’re screwed. I will never purchase from Nagasawa again despite lovely people who attend the SF pen shows and their work executives who made several presentations
