Namiki Vanishing Point with 14k Medium Nib in Hunter Green. NEW PEN!

[@jessicasblack]

It's vintage. The usual breakdown is anything over 100 years is an antique and anything under 100 years is vintage. It's a gorgeous find. Love that color.

Thanks so much for the help.

Ì love your story with this pen, and I hope that you enjoy the writing experience enough that you keep it in your collection 😊

[@seemownay]

I hope so too!

The green color of that pen is lovely. I don't blame you for snatching it up!

[@seemownay]

Thanks. I really enjoy it.

[@BlushnBlue]

Great experience! Also, great match next to your yellow VP.

[@seemownay]

Yes it was!

What a beautiful pen!!

[@seemownay]

I'm so glad it found me.

[@PensandPaint]

Kudos on the new pen! It's a beauty. I personally, never had a pen call to me like you have described. It does seem special to you at a spiritual level. Happy penning?😊

[@tattooedcat]

This is gorgeous! What a beautiful find. 🤘🏼😸🧡🖋

It's great color and I think the facets add something to pen. I think facets add that nice reflection to a pen that changes the look. If find it adds depth; personality. It's nice when a a pen call out to you, and not the other way around. You feel better about buying it.

I’m really enjoying your videos thank you. Enjoy your new pen it’s gorgeous.

[@seemownay]

Thank you so much!

In my research I had found out the numbers on the nibs tell you everything. So the letters that start the code, refer to the plant it was made in and the next numbers are the month and year.

[@seemownay]

Ok, Denise, this is the last call - did you see you won the giveaway? And yes, that's so fascinating about the Pilot nibs.

Wow. I really like the clip design on the vintage capless/vanishing point.

[@seemownay]

Me too! I really like everything about this pen!

[@lifewithvalerie21]

I love the hunter green color of the pen. I haven’t seen many pens that color. I did buy the laurel green platinum 3776, and I love that pen and color. I hope you continue to explore and enjoy the new pen.

[@seemownay]

Thank you! That green is just stunning!

[@nlamproplos]

I'm so happy for you that you were able to bring this pen that you feel such a connecting to into your collection. Fun fact: you, Doodlebud, and I share this pen in common!

[@seemownay]

So cool!

[@wildwolf3343]

Btw. You saying “you know what, screw it. “ has encouraged me to order my first travelers notebook. I’ve been sitting on the fence way too long 😂

[@seemownay]

I hope you'll enjoy that traveler's notebook! I love all of mine!

I saw this pen mentioned before in another video, but I can‘t recall which… 🤔 What I find interesting is that the Majohn A2 Press seems to be a dupe of this pen while the A1 Press is obviously a dupe of the regular Pilot VP. I had a similar experience when I found my Pelikan M140 pre-loved at a very good price and in new condition because it had never been used. Absolutely love having such a treasure in my collection. 😊

[@seemownay]

I agree, I had the same thoughts. I wonder if the A2 is slimmer as well?!

[@Heidejournal]

@@seemownay It‘s slimmer and also lighter… the A2 has a facetted plastic body and the A1 is made of lacquered metal. I wish they would offer the A2 as a clipless version as well, because that is why I got the A1 in the first place. I have recently discovered that when I use my VP‘s with Iroshizuku inks, they don‘t dry up on me so quickly… that hasn’t been a problem with the dupes at all, which I find so weird since they are exact copies. 🤷‍♀️

[@thecloudydesk]

I love both of those colors. So beautiful

[@seemownay]

Thanks so much 😊

[@basebilljr07]

I just won an auction on ebay for the exact pen. I cant wait to get it I have been wanting a vanishing point for a while. But I specifically wanted this version of it and they are pretty hard to come by.

[@seemownay]

I hope you enjoy it greatly! It wasn't the right pen for me unfortunately, even though I really would have loved it. But I passed it along to someone else who was able to appreciate and love it.

[@danielribeiro4618]

Hi , würdest du sagen die alte Version ist smoother oder eher weniger smooth? Ich stehe auch vor dem Entscheid entweder die alte Version oder die neue. Wichtig für mich ist ob die Feder smoother ist mit kaum Feedback. Ich hab z.b eine vintage Pilot elite 95 18k mal gehabt und gegen einer neueren Version 14k getestet. Dabei war die neue Version wesentlich "saftiger" und kaum Feedback, während die ältere Version optisch der Hammer war aber zu kratzig. :) beide in Fine

[@seemownay]

Ich hab den Füller wieder verkauft und das aus zwei Gründen: die 14k Medium Feder war zu dry und die metal threads zu sharp und ich hatte die Angst, dass ich das Plastikgewinde kaputt machen würde, weil man schon Abnutzungserscheinungen sehen konnte. Und dann natürlich: der Durchmesser war zu klein. Ich habe einen Unterschied zwischen 14k und 18k gemerkt: 18k war viel bouncier.

[@danielribeiro4618]

@@seemownay darf ich fragen was du damals bezahlt hast? Ich würde etwa 130 euro+versand zahlen. Finde ok wenn der Füller sonst wirklich phänomenal schreibt. Das Design sieht natürlich schlank aus, immer noch modern und hat was nostalgisches. Wenn ich mich aber für den Preis mit einer mittelmässigen 14k Feder rumschlagen muss wäre das eine Enttäuschung für mich. Nostalgie hin oder her. Das was auch der Grund weshalb ich die vintage e95 auch verkauft habe. Die neue schreibt viel besser. Nochwas, stört dich der Clip beim schreiben nicht? Meine Befürchtung deshalb die ältere schlankere Linie LG Daniel
