Pilot Kakuno Fountain Pen, Clear Barrel, Extra Fine Nib (10816)

It came before estimated time. Good quality and price. Recommend

Excellent pen. Writes like a dream and if you get the right things it is refillable aka a converter or if you are confident a syringe.Fits comfortably in hand. Dries exceptionally quickly. Doesn't bleed through pages. And yes it does feel plastically but its not overwhelming

excellent for sketching,the ef nib is finer than in other brands. scratchy but recommend for sketching (not for writing ).

I genuinely love this fountain pen. it’s true that it’s beginner friendly. very comfortable to write with. personally i love how it writes so thin and effortless. i no longer mind the cost because it is both great and affordable for the quality it gives out when writing. literally i have no regrets. recommend to anyone who’s a beginner and like to write with thin pens. i also hear you can use a converter such as CON-40 or CON-70. absolutely love it!

Good pen. I guess. I bought it to send my daughter in Philippines because she loves these pens. She said it's a great pen, so i suggest you all trust her on that one.

Superb pen!Ink flows very smoothly, no jumps when writing. Great for fast writers that need to write essays in small time periods. Pen structure feels solid and doesn’t feel like it would break it I dropped it or anything. Would really recommend this pen! Bit on the expensive side personally, but worth it. Feels like it could benefit me for a long time (touchwood!)However, my (personal) issue is that because the nib is Extra Fine, it means that writing feels… scratchy. Not a main issue, but when i’m writing with my Lamy medium nib it feels much smoother on the paper. Next time I would buy perhaps a fine nib.Excuse my handwriting. aha.

The paper is sensational. The value for money is superb and I love the cover

Writes beautifully glides across paper even hobonichi paper

This is such a great little pen (and fun to write with too!) for the amazingly low Amazon price of approximately $10. So much to like here: this particular pen has a <M> medium nib, which is my favorite for this pen. It can use and ink cartridge or a converter and as you can see, this one has a converter; it’s almost out of ink but from the writing sample you can see I have use bottled ink with the converter (Diamine Emerald). The barrel and cap have angled sides, preventing it from rolling away like a round barrel can; the cap snaps off and seals tightly; the clear barrel shows the ink color and volume. It is extremely lightweight acrylic, which means I can write with it for long periods of time and not have hand fatigue. It feels good in my small hand posted or unposted, although I like the balance better when it is posted. This reliable little pen is a great way to jump into fountain pens for beginners, especially children. This is the second one I’ve purchased for myself, just because it’s fun, inexpensive and writes so well. Highly recommend.

I wanted to try an inexpensive Pilot fountain pen to see how I would like the nib. I ordered a pen with a Medium nib. In my experience, most Japanese Medium nibs produce a line width closer to a Western Medium than a Western Fine, and a Japanese Fine is more like a Western Extra Fine with a considerable difference between them. I was hoping for something like a Western Fine, and I was not disappointed. The Medium nib was exceptionally smooth and gave me the line width I was looking for. I ordered a second identical pen to see if my experience was a fluke. The second pen performed exactly the same way, so there seems to be consistency between nibs. Both pens wrote very well straight out of the package. The pens are very light, post well, don't dry out, and are easy to clean out when changing ink. The nib and feed can be removed easily for cleaning by pulling them straight out. The section has flat areas to encourage a three-finger grip, and I find it quite comfortable. The shape of the section makes you hold the pen a certain way, but the nib and feed can be rotated to any position, letting you position the nib perfectly for your writing style. These pens don't have a clip, so if you want to carry one in a shirt pocket, you might want to use a pen sleeve. The clear plastic body lets you check your ink level without removing the barrel. The plastic seems somewhat prone to scratching, but seems fairly durable. A pen sleeve will help keep the pen in good condition. The pen comes with a Pilot cartridge. Pilot sells cartridges in only a few colours, but you could add a Pilot CON-40 or CON-70 converter so you can use any other brand or colour of ink you choose. All in all, I think this a very good, reliable pen at a very reasonable price.

muito boa

The product itself is very good! I love Pilot Kokuno Fountain Pen. Ink glides smoothly. I gave only 3 stars, however, because the pen came to me already opened and ink cartridge already plugged-in the pen! did I buy a second-hand pen??? Quesrionable seller, in my opinion..

Speedy delivery . The pen is very reasonably priced and I am thrilled with how well it writes - I bought the extra fine and it is really smooth and fine, not scratchy. Very pleased with this purchase
