I have had this Danitrio Komori for about five years, and the clip design has always slightly offended my sense of beauty. The pen is gorgeous, but the clip was incongruous - and why was it placed over the setting sun with the silhouetted bats when there was a nice dark area on the other side?
Last night, my dear friend coffe_cup on fpn (a specialist in vintage pens primarily) used her inner-cap puller to get at the screw to take off the clip, which was much faster and safer than my intended method of wiggling the clip back and forth and up and down until it broke off.
Now, the clip is intact and can be easily re-attached should I ever feel the need for it.
There is a tiny slot in the cap, yes, but it is much easier to ignore than the flashy gold clip with DANITRIO lasered in block print on it.
Many thanks to coffe_cup!
