It's a Sailor Safari! And that's a good thing. Sailor clearly put a TON of thought into this; it's very price competitive when comparing to a Safari (counting the converter), more adjustable (for those who don't like the "forcing" of the triangle grip), and thicker than a Safari (for those who think the Safari is too thin). Body length nearly identical to a Safari, weight is about the same (slightly more). Easily to disassemble (including the converter which is excellent), this is going to be a hit as a "next level" pen. If they start bringing out more colors (like the 1911 compass, or even the Pro Gear), this thing is going to be a hit!

The grip section being thicker is a huge deal for me. That's the only thing that I don't like about the Safari.

I’m not concerned with comparing the Tuzu with other similarly priced pens by other brands. Since most other Sailor pens will be forever out of my price range, I’m curious to see a Sailor offering for a price I can afford to try. Thank you for giving such a thorough introduction to the Tuzu, Brian.

Try the sailor fude its very cheap. I do think this is a great option and really puts down both a thin and super thick line. I am curious if it has the pencil feedback, I suspect not. That is what I really enjoy about the PG. That felt tip / pencil feel is amazing. Platinum and Pilot both make amazing steel nibs. Sailor is likely looking at all the collectors of kaweco and twisbi ecos as boost to sales. Sailor really does well with colors much better than Platinum and Pilot they will be successful if they perform.

So far this seems like a homerun to me. Lots of thoughtfulness and value in the pen and, in my opinion, I think they nailed a really great contemporary minimalist design that looks timeless and classy yet fun. And, as an artist, I think the adjustable grip might be super useful because I'm often drawing in all types of different grips and angles.

I'm brand new to this hobby and can say that the rotating grip section is an awesome idea. As a lefty side writer with a somewhat unconventional grip and approach, it is awesome to tweak the grip into something that works. Also, the heart hole made filling up the converter to maximum extremely easy, even out of one of Goulet's sample vials. Definitely give this one a try if you're curious about it.

Honestly, for the price at least, you could simply buy a Pilot Lightive or a Prera and be done with it, the grip rotation thing feels more like a gimmick since people who dislike a triangular shape are still going to be dealing with it even if they rotate it, I'm sure it's a good pen but it feels redundant and a tad overpriced at that.

In the US the Lightive is called the Explorer, which is less expensive but has a totally different feel in the hand than the Tuzu, fwiw. The Prera in the US is $70 MSRP, we actually don't even stock them anymore because so few people were buying them. -Brian Goulet

Thanks for the video. YES triangular grips need to be adjustable - nice that this design makes it so easy, but people do realise you can do that with a Kakuno, right?

Yes I’d forgotten how the Safari nib/feed can only go in one way around - I used and loved a Safari all through high school and university but as a lefty with a four-finger grip, when I recently came back to fountain pens this was a deal-breaker for me with the Safari. If I’d known about Kakunos back in the day, I think I’d have preferred them. Thanks to the modern world of mail-order and informative videos such as yours, my own kids have gotten to try all sorts of pens - my 10yo son loves his Metropolitan with Iroshizuku inks, but he wants an E95S one day 😅 You’ve also introduced our family to the Pilot roller-ball pens that take fountain pen ink - that’s a nice option for school. When I was a kid it was Safari fountain pens or a ball-point 😂 BTW, at some point I’ve had a couple of different Staedtler tri-grip pens where you can twist the nib around to suit your grip too.

Technically you could post the 580 if you really wanted, the cap does fit on the back there. TWSBI just doesn't call it postable because what you're actually posting it onto is the piston knob, which isn't ideal. But it's kinda long anyway, so even if you did post it, it gets pretty long and back-weighted so I prefer to write with it unposted anyway. We used to carry Parker and FC. They were never very popular for us, and the ones that were doing okay for us got discontinued by the manufacturers so we just sort of sunset the brands. We're not opposed to carrying them again if there's demand for them. Which of their pens are you most interested in? -Brian Goulet

@marcwillimes3149
@marcwillimes3149 2 ай бұрын
Might be stupid but there's one thing I don't get. A round grip leaves you the freedom to place your finger -and the nib thus- wherever you want. Using a triangular -or other- polygonal grip will force you to put your fingers a definite way; self for the nib. Providing a 10° degrees adjustable polygonal grip might seem a solution to the problem. But wouldn't it have been wiser not to cause te problem (round instead of polygonal grip)? I might see the interest for beginners but for adults/intermediate/ experts, I don't actually get the point.

You make a good point. My first pen was a Safari and for it was amazing how the faceting was perfect for my grip. I remember later on thinking, “What if it hadn’t felt comfortable?” So I suppose this new pen is the answer to that. Ya have to admit, there is a certain coolness factor in it. And designing a pen that enables 10 degree adjustments for that kind a money. Hard to imagine this pen being anything other than a “home run”. I know I’m picking one up from Brian at that under $40 offering.

Mixed feeling about this one. I’m an experienced fountain pen user and it’s just too gimmicky for my taste. I can see how it’s rotating USP might appeal to some new users/parents but I think you would have to be careful. Learning with this might be limiting unless you/your parent rotate the grip to a more ‘standard’ position over time. Would love to see if it achieves any longevity as a model.

The one thing I regret about this video is not mentioning the eyedropper....it's NOT eyedroppable as it is, there are some small holes in the ring indent at the end of the pen, sadly. If you were bound and determined you could block off those holes with epoxy or some other substance, but that's of course going to be more of a hack/modification that a feature. Without those holes though, it would work beautifully as an eyedropper. -Brian Goulet

OK you got me. This purple freak is waiting to get her hands on a Lilac or Purple model (HINT HINT!!) with a broad nib. Have bought some pens from you before that I have yet to use. My favorite ball point is the Pilot Down Force [which so far has not been discontinued on me (Bilateral Carpal Tunnel Syndrome/Arthritis/Fibromyalgia). I need a bit of a wide pen to hold onto/strength/ durability. I stock up on Down Forces and carry refill packs with me almost always. I am familiar with adjusting the pen refills to use them pretty much to the end. Have been hoping I could find a workhorse pen to get at ease with fountain pens. What purple inks would you suggest using with this in ink and cartridges?

This does sound very interesting. I’m curious how it would be for drawing with Sailor brand black pigment Ink for drawing. I guess you would have to be extra careful where you aim that heart hole when cleaning lol I’m thinking perhaps a medium would be great for you with the pigment ink. What do you think?
@Gouletpens
@Gouletpens 2 ай бұрын
I think the pigment ink would work fine in any of the 3 nib sizes. I think the medium would give you a nice consistent line that would work well for outlines and even shading lines. -Brian Goulet

I think the pen design is sensible but I don't understand why they copied Lamy's nib shape. I like the sailor nib design.... I wonder if the nib is meant to be lamy compatible? Edit: I see they're not compatible

I will not stand for this Compass slander! My Compass was the first pen i actually bought myself (alongside a Jinhao Shark), and I like to this day it as much or more than many other pens, including a Pelikan M205, Safari, Metro, etc.

Hey Brian, my friend is official distributor for Sailor here in Mexico and he told me they're not planning to sell this pen in Latin America, please tell them to fire their whole marketing department, they're missing a damn good business opportunity, I'd bet that this pen will be way more popular than any other low cost fountain pen here, shame on them 🤦

I received my 2 from Goulet yesterday. My take is that it’s overpriced. The grip section has a slick feeling . stick to the safari as a starter or budgetty pen. Imo

wait, you say that these could take shimmer inks. Does that include the Fine nib?

@Gouletpens 2 ай бұрын
yeah, I think it would handle them just fine. I haven't tried a bunch myself but I see no issue with it since the pen would be pretty easy to clean. The fine nib is pretty darn fine, so you're not going to see a whole lot of shimmer though, the medium or broad would show it more. It's worth trying out though -Brian Goulet

How do you think does the fine nib compare to pilot metropolitan fine nib ? Because considering how cheap that pen is i don't think i have encountered a pen that would manage to write so smoothly while writing such a fine line as pilot metropolitan.
