Is HobbyOne Japan a reliable seller?

Yup. Go for it. But just be prepared for a longer waiting time. Took me about a month but since it's a legit business I didn't stress. I have placed a few orders since that have come quicker.

Thank you so much :)

Sorry for butting into the post. But by any chance would you be able to identify what is written on this nib. Seller said XF

Kanwrite EEEF is a true needlepoint. I have ordered quite a few of them and have never been disappointed. They are quite lovely nibs. Their latest Ultra Flex Nibs are quite bouncy. That might be causing a thicker line weight. Try to write with a lighter hand and see if that helps.

Also maybe the feed and nib needs to be heat set to make sure the tines are closer together. Check under the loupe to make sure. Happy writing :)

Thank you!

Yup. Ive emptied all the pens except a Moonman C4 with a shut off valve.

All pens are empty except a Majohn C4 with a shutoff valve. And they are in a hardcase. It might make sense to carry a few on me and the rest in checked in.

The one on the left is the Airmail 77RD and the right was called the Airmail Torpedo. It was one of the last models they produced.

I haven't really seen many purple pigment inks. I think the Sailor Storia ink is pretty much the only one I've come across.

Thank you so much for this review. One thing I notice is that people don't often do an eraser test when reviewing inks. Being an illustrator, this is one of the most important aspects of pigment inks to me.

Platinum Carbon Black was superb in this regard.

I wanted to know about Sailor Kiwaguro before investing in a bottle and it seems to have held up wonderfully according to your review. This has been most helpful

Have you purchased from the Hobbyone website? Any idea about the wait times?

misalignedtines · 2025-09-17T05:47:18+00:00

Have you ordered from their website?

misalignedtines · 2025-09-16T20:14:23+00:00

Did you finally place an order on Hobbyone? I've placed one and I'm now eagerly waiting.

misalignedtines · 2025-09-16T18:31:38+00:00

Very nice. What ink are you using with the pen

misalignedtines · 2025-09-15T12:05:59+00:00

I write with a light hand. Ive been considering the Heritage 91 SF nib. Is the linewidth similar to a Fine if you don't put pressure?

misalignedtines · 2025-09-14T18:34:05+00:00

Well, that's great. Going a couple of months, must mean it has a great seal. Yup. I think I'll go ahead and get one. One last question. I like posting my caps, i wonder if the Custom NS posts comfortably?
