My goodness, that is a curious, expensive pen, with a very ingenious nib. As always I am lost in admiration for your visualization and drawing skills. This is not a pen which I shall buy for noting down the scores in my daily Canasta games with my friend. Thank you
I love the drawing of the milo van! To be honest, due to my limited knowledge, I didn't expect there to be much of a difference when using both thick and thin lines together, but the milo van drawing that you did blew my mind away! I am definitely learning how using thick and thin lines together with create dynamic and contrast to a drawing! Thanks for this review/tutorial! 😊
I have this pen and I absolutely love it. None of my other pens have this same feel or drawing experience. Truly a work of art! Pricey, but I'll also have this for the rest of my life, so for me it is worth the investment.
I got the Fude nib out of this second batch of special nibs by Sailor when they appeared in the market in 2019 and had to wait a few months because their release was delayed. They seemed too much overpriced to my taste but I pulled the trigger nevertheless thinking I could always resell it. After trying it I had to revise my opinion: like you said there is nothing else on the market that compare unless you ask a personal grind to a nibmeister. They're really smooth and a joy to write and draw with. There are cheaper alternatives but if you wanna give yourself a once in a lifetime present, any nib of this special line would do.
What a beautiful pen, truly gorgeous. I suppose it's like buying a Rolls Royce - it gets you from A to B the same as a cheaper car but the quality and durability make the driving experience so much better. Thanks for sharing it!
Yay! A new fountain pen video! I have unfortunately fallen into the rabbit hole of fountain pen collection recently. I ordered a couple of Ackerman pens for drawing and they should be arriving tomorrow.
@@ichirofakename I'm sorry to hear that. Did you get a refund or some action from him? I did hear horror stories, but I decided to take the risk. I made two separate orders. I think he consolidated it into one package. When it arrives tomorrow (it just got released by customs and usually things arrive here the next day), I'll check to see if everything is complete.
@@aylinbegum5744 granted it's just one person creating the pens and its reputation isn't exactly the best when it comes to customer service. The design of the pens themselves have improved, so I decided to try them out.
thank you for this very complete review Parka ! and also the tips to draw differently. This pen is too expensive for me and I don't like the very fine nib. But it's interesting to know that it's possible to find that sort of product.
Yikes, that price. I'd rather get a fude nib. Considering I mostly only use waterproof pigmented inks for everything, I'd cry if it ruins that expensive pen.
Sailor doesn't sell their nibs separately and they made getting their specialty nibs a bit more difficult to get. If you have a pen with a Jowo #6 nib, you should probably check out Monty Winnfield who welds nibs together to replicate this nib. I think his "Seagull" nib is similar to the concord.
Awesome pen really. But as many already said the price is crazy. I kind of understand but still I wish it was much more affordable. It looks and works pretty good thought and I’m glad you reviewed it. 👍
Great pen. You might want to mention that the scratchy sounds from the pen I caused allot from the watercolor paper which is probably cold presses. If you tested it on tomaoe River paper it would be much smoother. Looks like it is similar to a Fude pen for the line widths, does it feel different because of the gold nib? I would love to test these, maybe at the next pen show.. please show that cross emperor again, , looks great..thanks for the review..
Hey Teoh I hope you are doing well ! I was wondering which one can give thicker line the cross nib (on it’s broad side) or the pilot falcon while flexing ?
Hi Teoh. I was just wondering… Is there any significant difference between the Concorde and the Cross-Concorde? Putting aside the construction of the nib, how does it feel to use one or the other one? I have a Togi (MF) and I want to try a new one of the specials. Thank you for this wonderful reviews
May i ask what ink you get that works with water colour and a dip/fountain pen? Cause i cant seem to find any ink that does smudge but works with those pens
Try Noodler's black fishcat archival ink, it works with me but tend to not dry quickly on the paper, depending to the paper and the humidity of the air. Any ink for calligraphy, there is many brands
Lovely pen, thanks for the review. It seems specialty nibs are drying up. I guess I'm pleased to have obtained my Zoom and Posting nibs while I could afford them. And actually I never could afford this beauty. Still, it's a shame they are going away.
I just had a look to Pilot Custom 912 Fountain Pen in Black/Rhodium - 14K Gold FA Nib, seems interesting to draw, customized with flex nib and the price is about 225 dollars
Hi Teoh ! I think this is a very goog fountain pen for architects to sketch on location, even to draw plans at the office. I regret one thing of you review : you didn't wrote any sentence. It would be interesting to see european writing and also some Chinese calligraphy. I don't know if it is easy to turn in half a second the nib while writing. For curent Chinese writing it's probably better to have a nib a bit flexible. That Sailor is great and probably last very long time if you don't lose it (is there an insurance for this?). Definitely this a fountain pen for rich passionate people.
@@teohyc I thought more in case it would be stolen. For smartphones it exists but we have to prove it was stolen ! Generally not possible to prove ! I hope this fountain pen is solid enough to don't break if it falls down. Pricey fountain pens must have a high quality of mechanical system and the body should have to be in metal or very resistant substance.
yikes!!!! i will better get a glass pen to have constant line thickness and a dude nib for multiple thickness capabilities. This pen isn't that beautiful as well. I really don't care if it's gold or platinum nib...the writing experience doesn't seem to be satisfying as well. Anyways, no hate to Teoh, just pen 😂😂😂

If you have other fudes, would you judge this much better? Mine all cost under $20.
@@ichirofakename Yep, this is tipped so much smoother than normal bent nibs.

Beautiful drawing. But for $600 a pen is going to have to warm my hand and give it a shiatzu massage while I'm using it.
And make the coffee 😆

Interesting nib...bit richly priced for me but I love the idea of it. Thanks for the review!
Wow thanks man i love the way you explain everything. That's an expensive en though wow!
looks like a great pen and fun to draw with.
Yikes, that price. I'd rather get a fude nib. Considering I mostly only use waterproof pigmented inks for everything, I'd cry if it ruins that expensive pen.
That is an amazing pen!
Not first! SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS? How much for just the nib? That part’s cool.

This nib is the opposite of the fude nib in terms of line width. I’ll do a Sailor nib comparison video soon
Expensive pen but love this video on it ' seems like it would be exciting to use " thanks for bringing this to us
Hey Teoh I hope you are doing well ! I was wondering which one can give thicker line the cross nib (on it’s broad side) or the pilot falcon while flexing ?
Cross nib will be thicker.
@@teohyc thank you Teoh take care love your content as always !
I don't want to sound cocky, but I can get the same effect with my $5 Jinhao bent nib fountain pen... :)))
It’s true
Great video! Teoh, I was wondering how you edit your videos.
I use Final Cut Pro to edit. Other than that I don’t use any special effects or transition
@@teohyc THANK YOU SO MUCH! I've been trying to start my own channel and this will be so helpful!

Cross Concorde will have better ink flow as there are two slits. Ink will use up faster. But lines will look the same
@@teohyc thank you Teoh. Much appreciated

The Zoom nib is more worth the money
it seems cool

Falcon nib is nice for drawing
I checked out Sailor's website (?) and saw that they are still offering their speciality nibs? Unless I misunderstand..... Thank you for this!
They stopped production in December 2015, and started making them again in 2018
Hii. Can you tell me if i can use parker quink ink in pental flude brush pen?
Yes you can
@@teohyc it won't cause any problem?
@@sainandkamat9869 Parker Quink ink is dye based ink. It's like coloured water essentially.
@@teohyc ok thanks Teoh i was scared to put ink in my brush pen 😂
Is there a realo version with these specialty nibs?
Not sure about that. Maybe search nibs.com
😲😲
