Kakimori Dip Nib -Does it perform better than Pilot iro-utsushi nibs?
Out of dissatisfaction with the performance on my two Pilot Iro-Utsushi F and M nibs, I invested in the Kakimori Dip Nib. I was already satisfied with the Kakimori Brass and Stainless Steel nibs. So far, so good. Time will tell…

    Hello!!! I have both the Pilot dippers…I notice that the ink viscosity plays a role in how they perform. Some inks slide right off the nibs right out of the bottle, others coat the nibs like syrup. I could be incorrect….just my observation doing my own ink journaling! :)

    • @MarcellHobbs
      @MarcellHobbs День тому

      You are correct! I first noticed this a year ago when trying to use an iro- utsushi nib to test Wearinguel Wuthering Heights. It was impossible as the ink would not cling to the nib. The nib was newer at the time. I need to try that ink bottle again to test it after it has aged. I have more experiences to come and I appreciate your input. By the way, you are the first person to ask me if would purchase the Kakimori nib in the last. At the time I wasn’t interested. How are you enjoying yours?

    Murasaki Shikibu was a 10th-century lower-class aristocratic woman who served at court and as a tutor to the then young empress. She is also the author of Japan's oldest novel, The Tale of Genji. (The oldest in the world?). She was a very intelligent woman, and was well versed in Chinese poetry, which was only available to boys at the time, and can be seen in The Tale of Genji. She was also a poetess who composed many wonderful waka poems. Murasaki means purple. This would be the perfect ink for teacher to use in school👍

      @sorairo825 3 дні тому

      @@MarcellHobbs Of course! Murasaki Shikibu and The Tale of Genji are well-known outside of Japan, so you will find many English explanations of them. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me. I love the culture of the Heian period and the aristocrats in which she lived. The Tale of Genji is a long love story centered around a prince named Hikaru Genji, but it is very profound and makes you think not only about love, but also about life and the happiness of women in those days when polygamy was the norm. Of course, the original is written in old Japanese, so I read it in manga form, as a Japanese person would! Haha.

      @@MarcellHobbs To mention a little more about her name, Murasaki Shikibu is not her real name. It was customary at the time not to reveal one's real name except in close relationships, so it was a common name at court. Murasaki was probably taken from Murasaki no Ue, the most famous heroine of The Tale of Genji, and Shikibu was the title of her father, brother, or husband.

      The blue “Capless” has a special alloy nib. The champagne Decimo does have an 18k nib. Check out this purchase link: www.gouletpens.com/collections/pilot-decimo-fountain-pens

    I wouldn't accept any cracks in a FP especially a big brand like Sailor, but then I'm very picky. 😉☺️ The main thing is that you are happy with it. 😇🩷🙏🙌

      Oh yes, it took some time, but I am happy to have a quality name without worry of the product not lasting due to a production error.

    What do you think of the Apatite ink? …especially compared to the 4001 - Turquoise?

    • @MarcellHobbs

      I have the 4001 Turquoise and did a swatch comparison in the video that I shared the New Apatite pen. The 4001 is a brighter blue. The Apatite has more of a green/aqua shade. The Apatite is currently inked in its namesake pen. I use and enjoy daily! No regrets. I pulled the 4001 Turquoise to ink my Leonardo Momento Zero Blue Aloha but haven’t inked yet. It really has a beautiful blue hue.

    Mine is due to arrive today! I’d never put Noodler’s ink in any of my pens, even the least expensive ones.

      Yay! I’m sure you’ll be impressed with the depth of beauty! Enjoy! 😊

    Even though I’ve loved fountain pens since my junior high days, _several_ years ago, I only ever used cartridges since that’s all that was available to me locally and I didn’t know about this wonderful fountain pen community, bottled inks or cartridge converters etc. If you told me a few years ago that I’d love watching ink dry, I wouldn’t have believed you. 😂 Thanks for your review. I might be able to order this ink from another province and wanted to see what it would look like first before I did. I hope Pelikan comes out with an ink of the year that’s a turquoise with silver sheen or shimmer. …kind of like the colour of the Tiffany’s boxes. I think that would be really pretty as well. 😊

      Thank you for enjoying this beautiful ink with me! Now I’m anxious for you to receive some ink that you would enjoy watching dry!😂 Do experience some converters to make bottles ink varieties more enjoyable. I absolutely admire a Pelikan Turquoise ink with shimmer. I currently have a Pelikan Turquoise and Apatite without shimmer. Well keep our fingers crossed. 🤞🏻

    The photos of these pens does not make them justice. I thought the Wisteria looked dark and dull but it is gorgeous, just as the Sakura! 🥰😍❤️👍

      I always find that to be the case. The pens are more beautiful in my hand than any photo or video. I get the full sensory enjoyment with all the details. I was just looking at my Sakura last evening, considering inking it. Thanks for enjoying along with me!
