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!

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.

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.

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.

@Gouletpens2 ай бұрын
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

@marcwillimes31492 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.
@rztour2 ай бұрын
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”.
