Looking forward to hearing more about the Black Rosetta pen. Love the Pilot 743 Verdigris;would trade my 823 for one. No interest, personally,for a Homo sapiens;but,the hook-safe system is a feature I like. I have the Econo-Visconti,a Mythos. Great clip. Enjoyed the video!
I've looked at the Mirage Mythos model but I've not had the chance to try one yet. I like the look of the newer, dark finish with the Ruthenium type trims (I forget the name). Thanks for watching! Part 2 coming in a few days....
The Verdigris pen keeps catching my attention. There's just always been a pen I wanted more. Goulet's Pencast has an episode where they discuss the thorny issue of stickers on or off, of Pilot pens.😅
Top tray?! I don't have a tray! 😪 Interesting story on the Homo Sapiens. I agree that it really does ultimately come down to the nib. If it doesn't write comfortably, then the fact that the pen was a holy grail one is immaterial. I have held off from getting a HS because I have only one Visconti and have had 'issues' with it. Also looking forward to hearing about the Rosetta Stone pen.
It's certainly true that bad experience with quality can put you off. I bought two Leonardos directly from Leonard last year, and both had nib issues. It has significantly put me off further purchases. At least, without the opportunity to try in person. A shame as they are lovely pens. Part 2 coming soon....
The issue I had with my Van Gigh Visconti was the barrel - it cracked! (No, I didn't run a tractor over it!). It is still functional, just about, but it has certainly put me off using it. As for Leonardos, I love 'em - no issues with the nibs whatsoever. 'Sfunny how experiences vary so much.
@christopherbritton293 Indeed, makes for good variety! I had a Rembrandt S for a very brief time. Had no issues with it, but the barrel material did strike me as thin
I enjoy listening to the story behind each pen, thank you. Now will go watch part 2.
i love list videos !
I dont know why but I quite like the pilot stickers!

Stickers off for me.
Stickers off for me, but I don’t think I’ll ever resell my Pilot pens!
