When I was 7 years old, I was gifted an all-steel Parker fountain pen, and I've been doing calligraphy ever since. What beautiful memories that came alive by watching this movie.

[@Hottamales1]

I just love to write with fountain pens they are so smooth and attractive to write with. It looks like he showed a very wide selection at the beginning. This is awesome work. Thank you.

[@1crazypj]

I used to but my writing is now so bad I rarely write at all. I was always told nib has to be 'broken in' to the user, as it doesn't write properly until the shape and smoothness is correct since everyone holds pen slightly different and uses slightly different pressure, etc.. (this was in junior school when we still had inkwells in desks and used 'real' pens, probably 1966~67)

[@handicraftart9]

I admire your craftsmanship.

[@richardingraham6353]

so great to see a master at work .

[@nacs]

Absolutely insane amount of precision work. I thought he would only customize the nib but so much manual labor went into the cap and body too!

[@am_ma]

That man like he is living in a movie and the surroundings and the lab or workshop is the proof . That environment is a creator must have to show his talent. That work also is a master class for itself before even the final product is done and the final result us a master piece.

[@larissaribeirw]

Amazing! I'm a new admirer of this world of handmade pens!

[@ProcessMaestroChannel]

Welcome!

[@clydecox2108]

Always a pleasure to see a master at work.

竜さん。 オススメいただいた通り、この動画は本当に素晴らしいです。 特に、首軸リングとセルロイドの径合わせ、4条ねじとキャップとの合わせがとても繊細で素晴らしかったです😊 今、お願いしているペンの仕上がりが楽しみです。 いつまでも続いてくれますように。

Thanks for sharing this wonderful process of fountain pen making

[@amirfarhan5134]

Nice to see another video of Hakase fountain pen making. I seen an older video of it and it showed an older man. I guess in this video, he is the new owner.

[@BlakesBroadcast]

Thank you so much for making this video! I love my Hakase and being able to see how it is made adds to my appreciation of the pen.

[@ProcessMaestroChannel]

You’re welcome! 😇

Gorgeous color of pen and beautiful machine made art 👌🙏.

[@1crazypj]

There are a lot of very specialised special tools in use for this process. The main 'lathe' turning blanks is like nothing I've seen before (even though I have used jewelers and watchmakers lathes in the past, although not for 'intended purpose') Even the shop made ' tool rest' looks real special, I guess the turning tools are specific to Japan? It's the first time I've actually seen a thread chaser being used although I first found out about them during 'machinist' training in 1970's. It was only talked about as a historical method of making threads, very very interested to see it actually being done, wouldn't be out of place to a turner from 1700's. The fact the ubiquitous 7 x ** lathe also has a place is interesting even if it is an upmarket version compared to the Chinese made ones most people have.

[@sosowhat9246]

Wonderful work, I have an Ebony pen on order 🙂

[@MrCabimero]

Is the price list on their site in YEN?

[@rocketman13f51]

When cutting the threads with his foot power, is the forward and reverse movement created by the opposite twists of the rope or is there a special gear that creates that movement?

[@ssnoc]

I was wondering that exact same thing

[@Monkycrasure-gk4fz]

When it was belt powered it didnt have that forward and reverse motion. I dont think the rope causes it, just think he has it set to do that when he uses the rope to have finer control when hand carving threads. I could also be completely full of shit and be really far off. Im just throwing out my best guess.

[@mrmf4712]

What was the purpose of the step with hot water?

[@manavl3443]

is the nib an architect grind?

[@cassiusclay7482]

Superbe travail bravo

Are you the son or grandson of original older man that made first video ?

[@omega3861]

Harumi Tanaka worked at Hakase Fountain Pen until 2009. He is the third generation founder. The nibs are OEM from Pilot.He is 50 years old.

[@dixitudit1]

All fountain-pen aficionados, you should also check the process of making Ratnam Pens in India. They are the OG custom fountain pen makers :)

[@peaceraybob]

There was an expectation that the nib and mechanism would also be fabricated by hand, rather than supplied from a factory.

[@mjay4700]

That term "World's First" is odd here. Can you explain its meaning here? Are you saying these are the worlds first custom made fountain pens? I would think that to be untrue since people have been making pens for hundreds of years and at some point there was certainly customized choices of material, style, etc.

[@JericoJopio]

Well, perhaps it was the first custom-made fountain pen that was readily available for the general public. Indeed, there have been customized pens in the previous decades but I guess those were only accessible to the very wealthy customers, and we didn't know what fountain pen models by which companies or brands were actually custom-made. Probably the ones that have been made by Hakase since the 1980's are great quality yet within the budget range most customers can afford.😅🇵🇭🖋️🖋️

[@knownaigm]

"World's first custom made fountain pens by hand"??? Definitely not.

[@pressurexz]

It is..check Guinness world record

[@HistoricGentleman]

Many updates in the construction methods compared to the hakase I had made many decades ago, tho I don’t recognize this gentleman as the man who made my pen was far far older

[@henningpieterjordan7416]

Can i buy this in Germany...??? 😊

[@jintumjoy7194]

What is that green material. Is it plastic

[@ryanbennett2227]

That guy cut threads by hand when he had a lathe.....showoff😂

[@arijitdutta1307]

Making a multi start thread on a lathe takes much more time. It takes me 10 mins to do that whereas the master did it in a minute

[@HaiNguyen-rc4ij]

Mmmaaaatarrrr kiiikiikkakaka

[@SuperSerb07]

Nothing about this is by hand.

[@JericoJopio]

I think Hakase's pens are a product of modern ingenuity and traditional artistic heritage for which the Japanese craftsmen have been famous the world over. Specifically, the lathes and the hands work side by side to ensure uniformity in the quality of work since it is totally impossible to use just the hands or the machines alone to do all the work. Besides, some materials like ebonite and celluloid are somewhat delicate and could easily get ruined by the cutting and threading machines utilized in fountain pen factories.

[@pootnikalexander]

Love the craftmanship, hate the pen. Clunky and probably quite heavy. Might work better if it was a brush.

[@richardsaundry6691]

The weight of the pen actually helps the hand control the pressure and movement. The same reason video cameras are placed in a weighted frame, it gives feedback.

[@Mikishots]

World's first? What kind of sensationalist garbage title is that? Custom handmade fountain pens have been made for over 100 years.

[@lpanades]

Too wide pens, quite bulki unfortunatly today is the way the things are going.

[@SuperHyee]

[@MadmanDKDK]

Too bad they were actually making custom fountains as far back as 1809... So yeah, not the worlds first custom fountain pen. Also sepia inks have been around since then as well, so you're just putting nonsense in the video.

[@JericoJopio]

Yeah, there may have been custom-made fountain pens as far back as 1809, but those pens were still very rudimentary and had been made using bird quills (if I'm not mistaken). Aside from that, we do not even know which European or American company produced the very first customized fountain pen; maybe Hakase used the term "world's first custom fountain pen" as a form of advertisement or marketing slogan. But perhaps if someone could do further research on the very first custom fountain pen before the 19th century, I guess that would be exciting to know. And speaking of sepia inks, Hakase was the first to create sepia inks in 2005 for the Japanese consumers. Prior to 2005, most Japanese fountain pen users had only been familiar with fountain pen inks that came in basic colors like blue, red, orange, black, violet and so on. Even so, we do not know which foreign fountain pen company created the very first sepia ink for fountain pens before the 18th or 19th century.😅🖋️

[@JericoJopio]

Maybe it would be better if you could do your own research regarding your claims. Who knows, many fountain pen enthusiasts would become fascinated by the new discovery that you might stumble upon in your research.😅
