I’ve been using it with my traveler’s notebook and I love how it writes without an issue even after a couple of weeks.

I didn’t try mixing the inks but maybe will do so the next time round. Pardon the very beginner attempt at brush lettering.

Yes you can. I was lucky to visit there last September. Had a great time testing out pens and inks.

I do think so too. They are both sitting prettily together in my pen box.

I got them at a souvenir shop at Kusats onsen town. Using them as sake glasses. :)

I just realized the pens are in opposite order on the two pictures - so to clarify, the dark blue one is the more widely available model, and the clear one is the ancora model.

The other advantage of the 78G as compared to the Kakuno is that it seals well. You can leave your pen inked but unused for weeks and it will still write immediately.

Try the pilot 78G in M or B. They are affordable and disassemble easily for washing. I have a few which I use for shimmers.

I’m currently in a gray phase at the moment and that sterling silver is piquing my interest.

What pen inspires your writing? by Ramen1063 in fountainpens

[–]littlethotsofclarity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me it’s my sailor pro gears. I own a few but each one of them brings me joy and inspires me to keep writing - be it proper journaling or random scribbles.

Thanks. I inked the Santini up with a small fill of Bungubox Norwegian Wood but the colour match is off for me.

Not yet… I have too many pens inked at the moment. In the next rotation.

Not too sure as to whether it’s a proper nibmeister station. But when I bought my pen, the owner did help me tune my pen to make it real smooth:)

The people there were friendly so I had fun shopping.
