    Default Japanese fine nib

    Hi!

    This PIF is for those who simply would like to try a Japanese fine nib. The pen on offer is an inexpensive basic model with a steel nib; used only briefly; nothing fancy or collectible; a reliable wet writer. The pen comes with a converter and some cartridges for the good start. Free shipping anywhere and hopefully no customs

    The PIF will close on Monday 9 Feb at 0700 GMT.

    ------

    Update: I need to close the PIF a bit earlier. The new deadline is on Friday 6 Feb at 0600 GMT.

    ------

    Another update (04/02/14; 22:45 GMT): I do apologise but I have some hectic days ahead and need to close the PIF before the deadline.GMT.

    Kudos, not an entry but a question. Do you really mean Monday February 8th?

    If winning a previous PIF of yours doesn't disqualify me, I would love to be entered. Having in my collection 3 medium nib pens only so far and looking for something that might work on Moleskine, Japanese F nib sounds absolutely perfect :-)

    Of course you can enter the pif akapulko!

    I have never used Moleskine. Do you mean problems with feathering?

    Moleskin isn't really that good with fountain pens, are you able to get Rhodia where you are?

    I'd love to be entered - recently got some A6 Rhodia, so a Japanese fine would be perfect. I don't have much experience with Japanese pens in general, so it'll be interesting to try one out. Thank you!

    The pen goes to Frantik! Thank you all for taking part in the PIF! I feel really bad that I don't have more copies to send to all of you.

    Good luck in other/further PIFs!
