Picked this up for £11 from Aliexpress and I reckon it’s one of the best FPs I own. Great for quick note taking.
Sure, it’s a shameless clone of a pilot capless, but I’m never going to spend that kind of money.
Note also: only comes in <EF>. Writes like an <F> if you ask me.
Considering buying a few more to gift to friends.
Writes as a? And how does it write on different kinds of paper? Like Leuchturm VS copier paper?
Does this on come in fine too?
Looks like it only comes in extra fine.
Unless you’re willing to commit a minor war crime.
Mods are evil
Oh, now you’re making me want to do a full writeup on my Sheaffer Targa and what I did to it.
Do it
I’d say it writes like an western EF / japanese F. Similar to my 3776 SF (without the soft nib of course).
I like mine very much. Smooth, reliable, does not dry out, works on most copy paper as well. It’s also completely made out of metal and feels very well built. The only downside is the converter - it’s a CON-40 style one and it’s common knowledge that those kinda suck. And that taking the feed apart for cleaning is essentially not possible.
Writes like F.
