I notice the color variation in the ink. I have Noodlers blue and I was concerned I got a bad batch because mine also had slight color variation so I see that this is normal...thanks for the video

Thanks! I actually just sold this Falcon less than a week ago. When I get a Mottishaw'd one I'll probably get the Resin model. When it comes to flexy pens I prefer a lighter body. I'm honestly not sure if he modifies the feed at all, though it could use it. Even with the stock Falcons there's some feed drag. And by "properly broken in" I mean that the nib was carefully flexed and practiced with, and noticeably loosened up and offered more flex over time without the danger of springing it. :)

I got mine from someone who used it as their daily pen, so it was already broken in by the time I got it. I have written with a new one briefly and it was much stiffer than mine. Noodler's pens take around 2-3 months of use before you finally notice that they've loosened up. My advice is to keep using it w/ the force you're comfortable with, and it'll loosen up. Your hand will also get more attuned to it, and you'll learn the boundary to the flexy danger zone. :)

I have the resin falcon and it is so light weight- I would be interested in the metal version.

[@ProximaCentauri88]

The nib is sooo soft. This is the only Pilot Falcon video I saw where the nib looks that soft. Aren't you pressing too much? It does look very effortless in the way you make the line variation. The snap back is also pretty good which I didn't see in other famous reviews online. Did you have the nib MODIFIED? Thanks.

[@FiveCatPenagerie]

They do have the exact same nibs. The only difference is that the metal version's nib is plated in Rhodium and the resin's isn't. The metal version does however have the "extra-fine" tip offer, whereas the resin's finest tip is just the "fine", though I believe you can get the extra-fine on the resin version in Japan. :)

Thanks! I love your videos! They were the inspiration that finally made me get off my butt and start making my own, haha. I look forward to your new ones!

I guess I'm pretty much sold on the CinePro now. lol Thanks for sharing all the production info! Is this the Falcon you're going to have Spencerified? And, do you think it will be necessary to modify the feed, too? I've heard that people have good results doing that. I'm too chicken to try it myself. Also, it would be nice to hear you talk about what you mean by properly breaking in the nib, if you can. Great job, ty!

Thank you for the information.

[@JtwasLuck]

How is the nib in softness compared to say a 14K medium nib on a Pilot 74?

[@gabrielpetian]

FiveCatPenagerie do you know if the Namiki Falcon: Metal Body and the normal falcon one have the same nib ( if the difference is only the metal body)??

[@charlesearle8414]

What kind of paper did you use for the video?

[@gabrielpetian]

thank you very much for the answer!! :D

[@738polarbear]

Roughly how long does it take to break one in,I got one a week ago and out of the box its pretty stiff.Dont want to spring it.I have a good feel.Thanks

[@josef959]

How long did it take you to learn to write like that? How did you learn to write like that? Is that how you write normally?

[@TheImmovableMovers]

Very nice! I'd wondered what the medium was like. I put up a new video with Mottishaw's Spencerian Namiki Falcon if you want to see what yours will be like! :) Cheers -TIMM

[@FiveCatPenagerie]

Thank you! :)
