Kakimori Pens

I am not sure why I decided to try this particular dip pen with the stainless steel nib; but I am so glad I did! The nib comes separate, and they both are up there in price; HOWEVER - the holder fits perfectly and is smooth with no "splinters" to worry about. The holder and nib fit ONLY each other. The fit is snug with no issues about the nib slipping out. The set is definitely a different type of dip pen and one I am glad I purchased! It beats out my glass dip pens from J. Herbin to Amazon's unknown brands.

I bought this really out of curiosity to see how different it would be compared to normal glass and/or metal dip pens. I put it into the wood Kikimora wood pen, and the nib and pen fit really well. The male/female parts are rubber(?) and have a tight seal. Now the nib I kept dipping because I am so used to having ink where I can see it, but this nib "absorbs" the ink in the lines and holds it there. The 1st time I wrote with it, as trial and error for 1st time use, did have a teeny glob of ink, but after that, this pen held so much ink that I did not have to re-dip for almost an entire A4 size page. It wrote from any angle even straight up! I love this and really am glad that I decided to buy it. I have excellent glass dip pens: Rohrer and Klinger; J. Herbin, some from Etsy, and a few no-name brands. For me, I believe this will be my go-to dip pen. So if you have been thinking about this set, yes it is expensive, but I feel it is worth it myself.
