Perhaps as the OP I can help you understand "so what". This is a fountain pen forum where expensive pens are discussed, purchased, repaired, and worried about. Any reasonable person would have to ask why when a Pilot Precise V5 is readily available for the purpose of written communication. You'll probably list some justification for using a fountain pen. Whatever it is, it is simply a tool for writing down your thoughts. My point is that a dip pen can perform just as well, but not as convenient. And, as an added bonus, it will cost you about the same as a couple of the Pilot pens I mentioned. Hope that helps and sorry as heck for wasting your time.
