Ensso Bolt-Action Fountain Pen Review
Переглядів 23621 день тому
A look at a Bolt Action Titanium Fountain Pen! A very unique design that occupies a niche no one else (to my knowledge) has created. If you like fidgeting with a bolt-action pen, and you also like fountain pens, you are in for a treat! However, we also look at some potential down-sides of a nib-down carry design.

Leonardo w/ Monac Nib Review
Переглядів 97Місяць тому
We take a look at a donor pen for review, a Leonardo Supernova with an aftermarket Schon Design Monac Nib! Many Leonardo's have gold nibs, this model was an entry level model with a great body for the price, but they compromised with a steel nib. The owner then decked it out with a Monac nib worth almost $400! leonardopen.com/ www.schondsgn.com/ schon_dsgn

    Thank you for reviewing this pen. I have the clipless version of this pen in the stonewashed titanium. I also bought the titanium nib too. It writes beautifully and feels weighty in the hand. I am puzzled that the larger fountain pen channels haven’t covered it.

      I've had a straight zirc soul before, and it is dark and shiny (polished) with no color. If you pause and look at the nose- Cone/ clip on the oil slick, those parts are straight polished zirc, no color for example.

  • @strshooter7399
    @strshooter7399 19 днів тому

    Nice review, thank you 🙂. I've got a 912 with the "2 slit" ebonite (black) feed from Flexible Nib Factory. I can get it to railroad, but only when I'm trying to do so. In 99.9% normal cursive it works very well. I did try the std plastic feed when I first received this 912, and the std feed from Pilot just couldn't help but railroad if pushed very much. Ya, kind of subjective, what's pushing the nib really? One man's roof is another man's floor. My issue is I'd like to purchase a 743 with a FA nib, and maybe get a 3 slit ebonite feed as a gift for a friend. This friend claims to have used calligraphy pens when they were younger, and my thinking is the 743 might hit them where they were with whatever style calligraphy pen they may have used in the past. 912s/742s from Japan run $60.00 or so cheaper then the 743. With the ebonite feed, tack on it's cost. The 743's cost & new feed puts this a bit more. I just am trying to decide for someone who hasn't really been in the fountain pen stream so to speak for years, is the extra cost for the 743 really worth it? I'm pleased with my 912, but I'm no calligrapher, and I only use it for like Birthday Cards, Christmas cards when I want just a tad more creative enhancement that a flexible nib can give (sometimes... depending how much practice I put in prior to trying to spice up a card... ) I want this gift to be something that this wonderful person will use and enjoy. I'm willing to spring for the extra cash, but is it really worth it ? I could get a couple bottles of Pilot's Iroshizuku inks, for the larger nibbed 743... . I also just wonder too if the 3 slit is just too much. I've used some non Pilot flex nibs and depending on how hard and wide you go, you can move a lot of ink through a converter, even a con70. My 912 can use ink pretty fast too. Is the larger nib worth it?

  • @markbyrum4743
    @markbyrum4743 20 днів тому

    It is my understanding that the patent numbers you were discussing relate to the filling mechanism and the clip (each where the number is printed) not the pen itself. Good vid. Keep at it!

    • @ZenofThePen
      @ZenofThePen 20 днів тому

      @markbyrum4743 You are correct, those were the patents for the filling system and cap, not the pen itself. Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment.

      Yes, the Monac nib is a Jowo 6... the nib itself is the housing, it's one complete unit, but screws in just as any other jowo 6 housing would. Thanks for the clue on the resin name!
