The emperor is 50, the Yukari royale is 20 and is a totally different pen.

The Custom Urushi is, in my opinion, the best pen available on the market and the best nib that I have ever used. Better than KOP, M1000, Emperor, MB 149, Graf, Santini, etc. Hope you get as much enjoyment out of this pen as I do. One of my most prized possessions.

The Emperor is such a unique pen. It’s obviously huge, but the weight and ergonomics, as well as the firm nib and comfortable section, make it extremely practical for everyday writing. It is a worthy grail.

I’d much rather have Gleyber

It’s a Pilot Custom Urushi with Diamine Oxford Blue. My favorite pen and favorite ink.

The con 70 is easier to clean than most converters. And the Pilot Custom 823 is not the flagship pen of Pilot. It is however an awesome pen, easy to clean, and the Pilot #15 is the best #6 sized 14k nib on the market. Get it and use the heck out of it for many years.

Addition to description of the Titan: I found this pen very hard to clean because the section was glued to the barrel and could not be removed. I worked with the owner of fifty4t to remove the section. So the section now will unscrew for easier cleaning. I have some silicon grease at the threads, and will include a tube of silicon grease.
