Kaweco Special Dip Pen and Speedball Steel Brush -- Unboxing and Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 พ.ย. 2019
- Here's where I got the pen: goldspot.com/collections/dip-...
I think the item description I was reading from was actually for the "Special Al" (or, Aluminum) listing of the pen, but mine seems aluminum too, and I'm not really sure what's different between the two listings, or if it might actually be the same pen.
The pen seems well-built and feels good in the hand, although even with that in mind, it's personally a bit hard for me to justify the $50 price point. Maybe it's for dip-pen and calligraphy enthusiasts, it definitely does seem like a nice holder which can be used with a wide variety of nibs. The lid it comes with doesn't seem to stay on very well, or at all, I'm not sure how it could possibly be put in a pocket.
The steel brush by speedball was a refreshing novelty. I like how weird it looks, and how satisfying it is to lay down that much ink. I personally am no calligraphic sign-maker, so that part of it is lost on me, but I still had fun with it.

Isn't it crazy how your last name is Draws and you draw so well
so crazy
Marinka van der Zee it was a joke
Wow I just noticed how fitting 🙃
@@Gothikah r/ whoosh
Also ik woosh is overdone but it needed to be said
wow mind blown!
"extremely satisfactory" peter murmurs as he draws in what is clearly blood using a murder fork.
"used art store" my ass
I believe that the art store was used
Many people have added and removed valuable goods, therefore using the store.
I mean, he used the art store sooo
these videos are like artistic asmr with anxiety thrown in for good measure
Peter is just what we all need.
Nooce Miller I don’t know anything about pens yet I’ve watched most of his videos lmao
Lmfao
The new bob Ross
9:42 we just gonna ignore how those exclamation points appear
me, with a horrible headache trying to find a video to fall asleep: “oh a new peter video, perfect! those are always calming”
peter: *electric guitar opening*
Jenna Battani I never get headaches NEVER. I hope your headache goes away FOREVER!
Don’t drink diet colas. Peace
Jenna Battani lmaooo same, and the scratching from the pen didn’t exactly help either :/
I must clarify that's an acoustic guitar
Master Queef it shocked me so much that I think my brain figured it must have been electric 🤪 I wrote the comment after I had already skipped through it and didn’t realize until later that it was an acoustic!
100% me right now, it’s 4am and my head is pounding lol
*puts sticker on water bottle then uses different water bottle*
They didn't pay for sponsorship.
Just read this and happened
666th like! I had to!
Those exclamation marks came out of no where. lol
Dylan Hall haha that surprised me too
Fucking witch
They were predrawn!! He drew up to them
Sterling Archer
Are you sure they didn’t just appear out of nowhere?
Absolutely hilarious, i loved it
Here we see Peter's descent into madness as the TH-cam algorithm forces him to do another pen review
Edit: spelling
Descent*
Peter decent? Never. 🤣
@@matyikag.7681 My bad
@@supernoodles908 u good
You edited it, but left in the "He we see"?
"That's a nice big hunk of pulp" is one way to describe a piece of paper
Literally read your comment as he said it what
16:57 Peter, I’m pretty sure buying “pre-used piece of paper” is just buying artwork 😅
Hi Peter... I am NOT excusing the behavior of the first nib, because I don't have time for supplies that don't make me happy, but the Waterman ink IS formulated for fountain pens. It is beautifully forward-flowing and designed not to clog pens, and it does those jobs well. That first nib you used is a pretty cut and dry (literally, hmmph) standard, small reservoir dip pen nib... I would stake my favorite paintbrush that it would behave noticeably better if paired with a specific dip-pen friendly ink, which would be more viscous thanks to added lubricants.

😂😂😂 facts
Well, you're not wrong
I was telling him - yes, I actually said this out loud as if he could hear me - there'd be flames.
Peter looks like he is from the 1980's and he is into making good music.
No, he looks like he's from the early 2000's and he is an expert in obscure horror movies from the 1980's.
Harshal he looks like Keith Haring mixed with Austin Peralta
@@tommyo.3535 Lol
Harshal he reminds me of napoleon dynamite
It’s just cause he is
Me coming back to my senses 14 minutes into the video:
“What am I watching”
you're watching Peter Draws. That is all the explanation you're going to get.
Art
I’d like to see that nib make cool fat 70’s mod style lettering.
i love the slow descent into madness he's had throughout his youtube career
Peter: Burns oils on pen
Also Peter: "Cooled to the touch now" **Touches pen with fingers again**
I was wondering if anyone was going to mention that.
Watched your videos all day, with breaks of course. Being 78 and retired I can do this. Others can’t,
so do not do it. I had one lol. You are funny and genuine. I am a just for fun artist and you are inspiring.
"Its now a bloody spade"
Oh Peter, you have such a way with words...and that's why I love you
I have never thought about pens until this popped up in my recommended. The ways he talks and cares about his pens, is just astounding. I can't stop watching..... keep him sacred
I love Peter’s rambles when he draws, so relaxing
When you were experimenting with the huge nib and you said “Maybe I should draw with this today, instead of the other nib,” I found myself shouting YES YES YES! Scared my dog!
I use this type of pennib! It's very much requires you to have a soft hand when drawing and writing with it, it doesn't hold that much ink at all but when you mostly use it for super light and thin strokes it does it's job better than some other dipping nibs that can't do it's thin lines at all or drips blobs onto the paper
For some reason I feel like he’s mark zukerbergs alternate personality that draws on TH-cam
Shit. You are right.
100% less "giant piece of shit" though.
He's the humanity they took out of Zuckerberg, his apartment is actually a neat room inside of a Facebook laboratory
his creativity suppressed and banished to part of the internet away from the central Zuckerberg consciousness.
"It feels very scratchy, if you're into that, it's not a bad thing".
There is something about his awkwardness I find super attractive.
People think/say i am awkward 2, hi😏
@@mahmutylmaz3578 Can confirm, felt awkward.
Mahmut yılmaz thanks for letting me barrow ur Lamborghini bro!
@@kelpshakeandy.v7663 np m8 anytime
That was just cringe
got a notification about a pen review, clicked on it and was greeted by a sick guitar solo
peter never fails to amaze me
That wasn't really a solo, more like just a Chord Progression
7:21
I thought they were going to write “Hello world”.
Maybe it’s just a coding thing.
I thought he was going to write help me
*puts sticker on one water bottle
*drinks from separate water bottle
*pans around his house to reveal mountains of pens and water bottles scattered everywhere as peter completes his descent into madness
Now there's intro from someone that knows how to TH-cam.
There's like a million black and blue inks as well as other nice unique shades, all a little bit different, some are even thicker or thinner and better suited for certain pens, I wish one of the companies who sells sample inks would ship you an assortment to try out in videos. Would showcase the colors to us and would give your videos variety, everyone wins!
Jesse C goulet pens sells samples of a bunch of a bunch of different inks with different themes, color, and thickness variations for a decent price point 😁👍🏾
I think that's a great idea. I'd enjoy that video!
After watching one or two vids, it's clear that drawing is his "thing", and not pen and ink supplies. Sending him just a pen or just ink is just going to lead to some sort of material mismatch.
Who else feels very intrigued and captivated by his voice and facial expressions
Sending out some vitamin C vibes out for ya peter
It looks like a medieval torture device in the thumbnail with the red ink looking like Blood.
Peter is like the fun uncle that lets you sit by closely and watch him do his work (drawing/doodling) and it's just nice to be in his prescence. The fun uncle whom makes music aswell???
Wow what an honour to be the first customer at a brand new used art store. Way to go Peter.
Sending all of the vitamin C vibes in your general direction. That second piece was really cool, btw. Great video.
Some of the most calming videos on TH-cam
Man being your friend probably is the most amazing thing in the world

I feel it
But wich direction? Now i wiggeld my fingers to my computer and 360° around me, becuse i dont know in wich direction he lifes. 0.0
@@sockchen2707 lol towards the screen your watching! Duh! :P
Or uhhh, maby to the west for you? Either or hehe
Sounds like you got it covered tho lol
Me: “Peter fire is not ink”
Peter: starts a bonfire and throws the pen and a piece of paper into the fire. Pulls the best looking drawings from the ashes
15:08 Yes Drawing time lapse with Peters Music!
15:22 wait nvm that was just for the tostitos
It's so amazing that TH-cam has a person for everything. Thank you for reviewing pens for us!
Also, your art is such an inspiration!
People who click "Dislike" are new here, and are forgiven.
John Janse-French honestly don’t know how people dislike videos like this
Why forgive them though. They're idiots clearly
Youre also new lol
@@NustingButsErrday lol
Hey Peter, not sure if someone mentioned this yet, but I think the back unscrews so you can store the tip in it. I've have a dip pen with that sort of feature.
Anywho,
Thanks for sharing! The drawings were neat!
Take care,
AJ
This is so wholesome, we love you Peter!!!!
This thumbnail had me thinking it was a horror let's play upload, I had to take a double look. 😂
“No mushrooms where taken in the intro of this video”
I disagree
😂😂😂😂
"Flat bladed shovel for gravel or something"
Peter, you're not a northerner, are you?
Lol snow shovel
THANKYOU!
He's from North Carolina, so, no. Lmao
Well a flat head shovel is for gravel. And its flat :p
Yall dont do much shoveling either i suspect lol
Shovel shapes have names, like spade and such, and the one he was referring to is actually just a “flat shovel” not a snow shovel
watching this made my day so much better! love your art
Oh my gosh! I’m completely late to the game but that intro made me so happy!! I cannot explain the joy I felt watching you dance around and in late 90s-early 2000’s style! Amazing.
Peter I’m currently dealing with dumb family drama and honestly I want to say thank you because your videos bring a smile to my face in the middle of all the bull surrounding me. I pray you always keep being yourself! Thank you so much!
I haven't checked in on this channel in awhile, he cut his hair
I love your videos Peter!~ As another artist, it is inspiring to watch you with your ink shenanigans! Thank you again!
Why am i addicted to watching someone review pens, I love it
There is a possibility that the square nib is for lining paper, most likely to line paper for sheet music. I’ve a couple antique ones that are similar and this is the purpose mine state on their lil’ instruction sheets!
My life is just a cycle of waiting for Peter to upload while watching his other videos.
wow, that's literally me
i’m just going to say it’s nearly 3 am and i’ve been suggested 4 of peter draws’ videos and watched each one regardless of the fact that i have no experience with visual art whatsoever but i don’t care because the excitement i felt when he said he was interested in being *MY* friend was just great 🥺❤️
you know peter ive been following this channel for years now, and when you first started you always seemed very shy with the camera, very awkwards around it, stuttering and long pauses constantly, but in the last year or more now I feel you've changed a lot, your humour has really shown and the way to talk to the camera and us is just so fun and you're out there, that opening being a prime example lol I really loved it. I don't think ill ever stop watching your videos and I reallt really enjoy yohr channel and im glad ive been here for so long
Now I can't get this earworm Pen Review Song out of my head 😄
Shelf life is a charming little art store in Greensboro NC. Love that place
I wondered if he was in the south because of the cheetwine in the fridge from another video! Also, I'm from Raleigh!
Your craftsmanship is always impressive. Loved the video
Peter, your videos are a desert island full of coconuts, bananas and art supplies. I'm appreciative of the islands you provide those of us in the stormy seas.
Maybe I'm wrong but that nib doesn't look like the best quality, but I could be mistaken... anyways sometimes if a nib is scratching the nib is misadjusted because the prongs are bent slightly. You can sometimes tweak them ever so slightly, really just push one up and one down a mm or less, it can help sometimes. This nib however looks stamped and very flexible and sharp, likely not going to get much better.
13:00 Was an amazing stroke... holy ghat dang!! 🔥
This is quite random, but I've been having issues falling asleep lately due to anxiety, and your videos really calm me down. I fell asleep watching you draw 💞 Thank you so much
I felt asleep while listening to your voice for like 4 times this week
I love ur vids and this vid intro!!!
This intro. THIS INTRO! yEs
ok the first 40 seconds of this video was pure joy thank you
Your videos are one of the few reason I’m still on TH-cam keep em coming
I like you Peter!
my brain : "these are
razorblades with blood on it"
This man is perfect. I get amusement, education on pens, motivation, and soothed just before bed.
Something about this video is strangely unsettling. The unique intro. The red, blood like ink. The burning. The weird nib that reminded me of a razor blade. The music that appears only when he's eating snacks (which he didn't cut out in this video, for some reason)... A masterpiece.
When the edibles hit
me: :(
video: starts
me: :)
10/10 wholesome af
The intro made me smile, thank you Peter! I really needed that today! 😊👍✨
2:52 Needs oil!!! *squeak squeak squeak!!!*
17:50 for some reason, I like how when the pen is getting low on ink, it leaves different markings with lines through the stroke, it seems to lend more depth to the drawing.
Sending you vitamin C vibes with wiggling fingers 🖐🖖😁
Peter, I don't draw; but I do listen. I love your channel, it's very therapeutic. Keep up the quality content!
Has anyone ever heard Peter laugh? I haven't.
I have.
Yes! The Muji video where he bites the chocolate marshmallow and it looks like a butthole 😆
I saw the thumbnail and thought 'OK, what's going on?'
The flat nib at 3:58 I bought for $1.40ish at a art store here in Colorado called Meinigers (about 2 years ago, so if you're in Denver or Colorado Springs they may still have them by the pen section).
Good fat lines with that boy!
Your second drawing totally looks like an Aztec dragon and the mystery of whether it was purpose or circumstance that birthed it will forever interest me.
Beautiful piece, none the less.
Your guitar'ing is getting really good man!
The fun part is, a vibrating guitar string is like a squiggly line, so you get to draw with vibrations!
He has a guitar ring?
Dude, you should go easy on the shrooms.
My dude broke out the bong lighter 💀
That last piece that you drew. When I blur my eyes, I see a mechanical horse that can shoot lasers out of it's forehead. This is rly relaxing btw
Keep doing pen reviews, you make them entertaining as hell
could do a 30 cent biro review and it'd be interesting
Try using india inks with a dip pen rather than fountain pen inks. Should last a little longer between dips.
Also, I love the doodles and the pen reviews, but my hot dog making skills are getting a little rusty. When do I press up?
Nice, I will try some india inks with a dip pen in the future, thanks for the tip
Yeah fountain pen ink doesn't work very well for dip pens, it's too thin because it's designed not to clog. Indian ink works so much better. Drawing ink is not the same as Indian ink btw lol- I found that out after I bought it. It's too thin also
The ticking of the clock in your house is driving me crazy
Wow, didn't realize this existed until you mentioned it, but I guess you have to really really focus to listen to it.
Wow! It was only until the end that I saw the dragon like lion face you drew. Amazing! Thank you Peter!
Best youtuber of all time. I've watched many gamers and different youtubers and they seem to fall off or get too ruined by the money or popularity but Peter has always been himself and I enjoy it
I can confirm that blood does in fact turn more of a dark brown when it dries and oxidizes. Don't ask.
Thanks
My period
@@flamingomingo9810 💀💀💀💀🤢🤢🤮
We have all had a scab before
@@mikuenjoyerXD yeah... that's where I learned about the color of dried blood, definitely scabs.
15:12 i legitimately thought he was dipping in the red ink bottle
Somehow this one made me really calm and happy, even though you ended up with red ink all over, and you made a dragon with your steel brush. Well done :)
That intro was golden, Peter. Thank you
Love the intro
Either you’re wearing a very loud warch, or using an amazing microphone 🤷🏻♂️🤔
Both
How loud do you watch to hear that? You must have loud earphones, upset neighbours or great hearing or some combination of all 3. I had my headphones up almost uncomfortably loud to hear that!
@@adamwest8711 maybe you just have bad hearing compared to most viewers
princess larry - could be. I have to wear an earpiece for work and I’ve suspected it’s slowly destroying my hearing as the years drift by.
@@adamwest8711 I couldn't hear it either and my hearing's fine, people are just dicks for fun
I have been binge watching your videos for the past 3 days, and I'm even listening to your longer videos to sleep. I've also purchased my own fountain pen.
So, I might not have a few thousand dollars to buy your beautiful art pieces but I hope my watch time is helping you haha.
Definitely got that notification bell on for your uploads.
It definitely helps, I’m glad you enjoy the videos, and I hope you have fun with the fountain pen!
him eating chips and salsa over the blank sheet of paper is the most feral thing!
sir you are testing fate like that!
