A Nib Comparison - Platinum 3776 UEF vs. Sailor 1911S EF

[@mauraserena4521]

Platinum UEF is rock 😱 super fine 🤩

[@AlhambraDream]

Just a reminder that Platinum pens designed to consume less ink than most of the pens out there. I have PTL 5000 a and this pen only sniffs ink and does not skip. (I saw the ink consumption chart at the manual and I did not believe at first but this Platinum pens ink really last longer.

I cannot believe how many views this video has. It's interesting to see how the channel has grown without my interference. I wonder if I should ever revive it. It'd probably be a lot better because I can just hear the nervousness in my voice. Lol

The most delicious [& descriptive] pen nib analogy I've ever heard :)

[@dansherling7232]

Thanks for the demonstration. I have been planning to branch out and try some of the more expensive pens I watch being used in your sessions. I was raised using Sheaffer and sometimes Parker fountain pens. These pens were well within my budget and I'm still happy with my small personal collection. The light crisp feel of a fine or even extra fine nib gives me a very satisfying sensation as I write notes or correspondence.

thank you so much for this comparison! i've been debating getting my first higher-end FP from platinum or sailor for quite a while. this was super helpful! thanks so much!

[@practicalpenmanship4281]

Thank you for watching! I'm glad you found this useful.

[@manoloyloles]

Of all 3 Japanese "standard" brands, I do prefer Platinum to Sailor and Pilot :-)

[@archdomster9446]

Awesome comparison thank you!

[@MarcellHobbs]

Thanks for the comparison. I do like Pilot over Sailor. I recently ordered the Platinum 3776 UEF. Anxiously awaiting its arrival from Japan. Even more so now that I have seen this video. 🖋❤️

[@keithwhitney7491]

Particularly helpful, as I was bidding on a Sailor 1911 Realo with an EF nib. I am still not sure, but you helped me a lot.

[@johnathanrhoades7751]

I much prefer Sailor's mediums to Platinum mediums, but they do different things. If you want a dry thin nib that still functions excellently, Platinum looks lovely! I just prefer wetter thicker nibs...

[@agnesrambling]

I always finds it fascinating to see people write with fine nib. I like how it looks on the paper, but i myself don’t really like it when writing. And it is also the first time i see someone who writes on the lines.

[@alexandergomelsky]

Thank you very much for your video! It was such a nice comparison between those fine nibs. I happen to have some Fine and Medium-Fine Sailors and a Platinum 3776 Century EF, and was thinking about buying an UEF in Bourgogne for that added thinness. Thank you again!

[@practicalpenmanship4281]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time to comment!

[@kjmav10135]

A UEF is a very different experience than an EF. i got a Platinum UEF by accident. The box said SF. After inking it up and writing with it, I got out my lupe and saw it was actually UEF. I have grown to love it, though! If you are going to compare a Sailor EF to a Platinum EF, it would make more sense. No shade on Sailor EFs! But the Platinum UEF is great for really tiny writing, and also if you are in a situation where quick-drying, non-smearing ink is important.

[@sofiamelo8980]

Thanks. Very usefull !!

[@practicalpenmanship4281]

Good to hear. Thanks for watching.

[@Aldo-os3ov]

oh man! just look how tiny the line is it is, im impressed.

[@colacurciolaw7745]

Very nicely done. And quite useful! Thank you.

[@kelvinleong4322]

Your comparison video for sailor fine nib n platinum 3776 UEF nib is the best so far. I m considering to buy sailor realo fine nib n 3776 UEF nib too

[@rahmanwaheed1487]

Thanks for using different papers. That's important

[@Fernandohe111]

I am trying to decide which one to buy in the next december, I was thinking about Platinum 3776 EF or the Sailor 1911S EF, but since I practice Business Penmanship, this UEF seems so captivating... Would you say that the UEF resembles a bit the feeling of a sharp mechanical pencil?

[@cd3694]

Would you say that the Platinum UEF is comparable to Pilot’s posting nib?

[@anguswhite8233]

think how fine a nib seems is very dependent on which ink you’re using: my Platinum 3776 UEF is inked up w Iroshizuku fuyu- syogun and my Sailor 1911 large is inked w Aurora blue/black: the Sailor writes slightly finer:)

[@teok7735]

platinum sure knows how to make an ef nib, I have a preppy, now going to a kakuno and will see how they are doing. After a bit of time I would like to get a curidas on ef or maybe the 3776, to use as much as possible during a master, I love writing with extra fine fountain pens.

[@iodboi]

Curidas has multiple issues .. people I know were generally unhappy with how it performed. You would do well to pick the Decimo/VP/capless. Or moonman A1/A2

[@kjmav10135]

i imagine you’ve bought your next pen by now. I have to tell you, though, that my Platinum UEF pen is the ultimate if you like fine nibs. Even microscopic print is legible. The writing experience is great!

[@JohnAceti]

Thanks for the video. Where either pen's nib modified in any way before the writing sample?

[@Blissfulthings]

Nice comparison, I was hoping to see how they flexed

[@solar7927]

They don't
