Welcome! Thanks for watching and supporting! :)

Hope it helps! :) Thanks for watching! :)

@@mike_qbik Thank you so much for your kind compliments! Thanks for watching! :)

@@vaibhav-2610 initially it will be. After writing longer, it will be back to the same ink intensity.

😝🤭🤣

AMEN! And thank you so much! Appreciated the support! Barry is such an inspiration! :)

Ahhh dear brother Barry... We wait for more guesses.. Hopefully!😅

@@pen_journal :)) We shall indeed! :)

Thanks Barry! I'm in the midst of literally selling off these pens, it's really becoming an idolatry in my life! Might as well make a video of it for memory sake!😅

@@pen_journal Indeed! At least you can say you had it for a bit :)

The nib used in the Pilot Kakuno is the same found in the Metropolitan, Prera, Calligraphy, etc.. Hope that helps! :)

@@pen_journal thank you i wanted to switch my F nib to EF

@@benv4514 No problem! :)

Great to hear! Praise God! :)

Not really, it's a pretty stiff nib, close and same to the 74. Not much difference in terms of line width. Hope that helps! :)

@@pen_journalDoes it have springness as much pilot custom f as? I press too much and ı tend to ef on pilot pens. Would you tell that is grance f thinner than custom f? I wanna a little bit thinner than custom f. Ef not for me also fine nib bigger. Thank you.

@@VladimirRobespierre I would not say that the Grance is thinner that the 74. And sometimes, line width vary a little bit from pen to pen... You can always fine-tune the nib in terms of wetness to see which is better.

Praise God! Amen! He is the wonderful Saviour! :)

Thank you brother! Amen! Praise God!!! My top 3 in no particular order as of now will be: Delta Dolcevita Federico Stantuffo Pilot Kakuno Tuduriya Fountain Pen (It's a small pen maker shop in Japan)

Yes indeed, but with a different kind of feel in terms of the materials, etc.

This pen will be smaller than the 743, if you have smaller hands, either this or the 742 could be more suitable for you sister :)

@@neesiecieslak7869 You are most welcome and thanks for watching! :)

@@Emri27 It could be the way you hold the pen. But if you are not applying too much pressure and the tines do spring back into the original position, there shouldn’t be too much of a concern in you damaging the tines. Everyone holds their pens in various different angles and positions. As long it’s working for you, in terms of enjoyment of writing, and the pen not getting damaged, you should not concern yourself in changing the way you write. Hope that helps :)

No unfortunately... But a few things that stand out to me: It's exactly like the modern Elites (E95s), but the nib is more "softer" in terms of writing experience. Also the Sterling Silver makes a whole world of difference in terms of the look and the luxurious feel of this pen... I would say this pen is one of the more sought after pens among the Pilot enthusiasts. :)

Praise God!! Thanks for watching brother! :)

Hey brother Cooper, thanks for your comments! Love it when a brother or sister in Christ comes along and shares the same passion in using these TNs! My preference, IF JOURNALING, will definitely have a larger real estate space for writing... The passport size is doable, even for journaling, as I have seen some people use it. My tip, will be to focus on your need for the long run. Portability comes into play as well. Weighing the pros and cons, will hopefully help you in making the correct decision! :)

That's a great tip as well! Thanks for watching! :)

@@krystalstewart1297 Welcome! Glad it worked! :)

Thank you once again for your support Sophia! :)

It's in Extra Fine (X), but I feel it writes more like a Japanese Medium! I got it second hand. :) Thanks for watching! :)

To be honest I will not recommend it, unless you are desperate, like me. I have tried it on a Delta before because the rust was just so bad. And the WD40 didn't take off the gold plating on the clip and cap bands that were rusted. So it depends on how well the gold is coated on the plating...

Thank you brother for supporting and watching! God bless you too! :)

Hey Tony! Thanks for sharing how you managed and set up your TN! It's heartening and encouraging in how we get to see so many variations of setups between people with different use and purpose for their TNs! Cheers too! God bless! :)

@@pen_journal No worries, I too enjoy seeing all the different uses & setups that people have for their TNs.

Thanks for watching! :) It depends on your market and of course, demand and supply. A GOOD price range, IMHO, is about $70-$100 USD I got mine for about $80SGD

@@pen_journal That's actually about the same as what I guessed. $80 is a good price I think even 100 is fine if it's in a relatively good condition without too much wear or very noticeable scratches. The one I saw was almost $100 cheaper than a new one, which when I looked it up the new one cost about $330 So I assume the build quality or something could be better in the older models, which is quite common with some objects. Because it just didnt make sense if something is of the same build and quality, something that old cost only a little less. But I couldnt find much info about the 90s model of 1911L. From what I've seen, older pens even those that are almost mint condition that's never been use but have just been stored away for that long would usually fetch around half the price of a new one. Thanks for that info. But what about the condition of the one you bought?. Are there deep scratches and heavily worn, or light scratch and a few wear, does it come with the original box or just the pen?

@@holohulolo thanks for your thoughts. The one I got was about a 8/10 in physical condition. Micro scratches but nothing big or noticeable. Just the normal wear on a EDC. Function wise. No issues. I actually sold it off as I don’t really use it much.

Praise God! Yes HE IS SO GOOD AND FAITHFUL, all the time! Nothing better than the good old analog way of notetaking, but to be honest, I use digital to take sermon notes. It's much more faster and efficient for me... I do have a dear brother who is taking notes like you do, analog way! :)

@@pen_journal My 32 year old son takes notes on his digital tablet as well! Taking notes helps me get a lot more out of the sermon for sure! Have a wonderful and blessed day!

@@Lambertcottage Blessings too sister!!! So good to see even young men taking down notes! We need more of these! :)

Most welcome! Glad that it helped you in some ways! Thanks for subscribing and watching! :)

Thanks for watching and commenting :) Agreed that the box seems a bit "weird" for scheduling and migrating, but somehow, I do prefer to use it over the standard dot.😅

@@BlushnBlue Praise God that this little sharing helps and inspires! All glory to Him! :)

@@abbaschild2499 Praise the Lord that this blesses you in some ways sister! All glory to Him! Yes, He is so good! :)

@@pen_journal Amen!

Cathy! It's been a while and it's so good that you and your hubby are still serving the LORD in your giftings! I'm sure the LORD has His hand in this! Just a quick share: I stopped the Children Ministry for about 6 months due to the sudden passing of my dad not too long ago, and have just started it again! What coincidence in the Spirit! Praise the Lord!🙌

@@pen_journal I'm sorry to hear about your dad, Jet. I'll be praying for you, your family and your children's ministry...Praise the Lord indeed!

@@gadgetstop321 Thank you so much Cathy! Appreciated the kind thoughts and prayers!!! Will keep yours too in prayer!

@@barrysanaloginsights thank you so much for the kind words again brother! God bless! :)

Thank you for the generous kind comment Jack! Appreciated you checking it out and sharing some love! :)

Hey, sorry for the late reply.. Glad you found the video! Hope it helps! Thanks for the comments and here's to more fun TN Journaling! :)

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for watching! :)

I think it depends, as different folks have different inclinations, and likes. Every country brand, has their own strengths and weakness. To just mention the Big 3 of Japanese Cos: Pilot, Sailor, Platinum. I can think of one common word to describe them in general: CONSISTENCY. Their pens are very consistent in terms of "you know what you are getting, straight out of the box". Thanks for commenting and watching! :)

Hey thanks for watching! :) Most of my pens I bought through auction or through the local 2nd hand market; including this one.

@@pen_journal okay ☺️ Thanks for replying

Welcome! Thanks for watching! :)

Ah, sorry! Forgotten about the cap! Typically I don't do cap disassemblies unless it's absolutely necessary. Given such, I had no experience in taking a 2k Cap apart to be honest.

I'm sorry, I don't quite get what you mean...

Thanks for watching! :) Glad it helped!

Awesome! Thanks for watching! :)

Praise God and thank you! :) Noted, will do a followup video on that, hopefully soon! Thanks for watching and subbing! :)

You're welcome! Thanks for watching as well!! :)
