The Sailor Hocoro is incredibly well thought out and designed: the way the nib stores within the body for protection, the variety of compatible nib units, and the available feeds that snap on to allow extended writing. The engineers and designers clearly spent a lot of time designing and iterating. The only problem is the nibs just aren’t very good. The Pilot Iro-Utsushi is probably the most lazily designed dip pen on the market. It’s just a cheap stick of injected molded plastic with a Pilot nib glued to the end. But the nib on it is fantastic, and that’s what is so frustrating. I would love to use the Sailor Hocoro, but the nib is just awful compared to the Pilot. So now my thoughtfully engineered and designed Hocoro sits ill-used in my drawer, while the lazy and uncreative Pilot Iro-Utsushi sits out on my desk used frequently. It’s very annoying. I really hope Sailor improves their steel nibs to be as good as Pilot, because until then, I’m stuck using the terrible yet great Pilot Iro-Utsushi.
こう言ってはなんですが、セーラーは持ってる手球で本当に面白いアイデアを出してくるなぁと思います。
後追いで似た物を出すトコもありますが、今回のリザーバー搭載とか先駆者ならではの試行錯誤は、いちファンとして感動です。
うれしいお言葉ありがとうございます！これからもセーラー万年筆のものづくりにどうぞご期待ください。
つけペンか〜
0:53 これは何色のインクなのかな…綺麗で発色がいいので欲しくなりました。

極細も出してほしい。
ラメ入りインク使っても大丈夫ですか？詰まったりしますか？
最後の筆文字ペン先があれば「ふでDEまんねん」を買わなくてもイイかな？
hocoro「筆文字」と「ふでDEまんねん」はペン先の大きさが異なり、「ふでDEまんねん」よりhocoro「筆文字」のほうが小さめです。また、インクを補充できて長く筆記ができるのは「ふでDEまんねん」ですので、使い方次第でお好みの製品をお選びくださいませ。
