Thanks for watching! The tweezers is stock. I understand sometimes I can be difficult to find a tweezers of the correct size. You can try to file/grind down the tweezers' tip size. It will take a long time, but sometimes it's the only way.
Yes they do. In fact I've one sailor pocket pen of the 70s too, it's 18k nib. The construction is more similar to the pilot elite vintage. So the disassembly method of the pilot's one can roughly apply the same to the sailor. Haven't got time around to make the video for the sailor pocket pen yet.
The Sailor 21 pocket pen is similar, but you can unscrew thefeed from the section by inserting a cartridge and using that as a tool. Mine is a 1971 version
@@evanbasnaw That is interesting, and i assumed the cartridge will just slip when you rotate it. But yes, that is indeed possible. I will try this soon.
Yes they do, I too have a sailor pocket pen. I've intended to make a disassembly video, using exactly this method - use the cartridge as the screw driver. I was even thinking to add the use of water soluble mild glue, to increase the grip, and to clean afterwards because it's water soluble. But life has been busy and I got no chance to get to it.

Thanks for another informative video. Are the tweezers stock or did you modify the ends? Thanks again.

Thank you for the video! 👌🏻
Thank you! 😊
Do you think this applies with Sailor 21 pocket pens of the same era?
