Kakuno is great for practicing (and writing) Palmer script. It performs way better than a pen of it's cost would be expected to, holds a lot of ink if you get the con70 converter. It's a genuinely fine line, reminiscent of a dip-pen hairline, though not quite. Haven't used the Pilot, but it does seem to give the right amount of shading for Spencerian. It can't give an oblique-holder experience... and I have to wonder if it's really worth it, the extreme expense (to me) of the Falcon just to be able to do the script in a non-historical way because you don't like dip nibs. Or to be able to do Spencerian on the go, I guess, which is certainly an attraction.

Thank you so much for making this video. I was wondering about the Elabo and the subtlety is exquisite. I enjoy the way you make fair and conscious comparisons. Keep up the fantastic work!
