I ordered a soft fine, and it arrived sealed with a label that said SF. I inked it up and, WOW, did it write fine! I knew Japanese pens were known for fine lines, but this was crazy! A couple of days later, I got out my lupe and checked the nib. Sure enough, although it was marked SF on the box, the nib said UEF. I have fallen in love with it. Great for small notebooks and tiny writing. Enjoy!
Wow! I’m glad that worked out for you. I enjoy my SF and UEF nibs. The UEF is not widely available. I love the needlepoint line it delivers when I need to write small. I’m thinking of dedicating that pen to my scripture writing journal. Enjoy! 🖋️❤️
Thanks for sharing this. I was surprised to find out that there are gold nibs that are finer than . I love to write tiny and this maybe the perfect pen.
Yes, it is enjoyable and perfect for my small grid Hobonichi planner/journal Tomoe River paper. If you like UEF nibs, check out the Esterbrook Estie custom friend nibs on the Esterbrook.com website. They have a needlepoint nib. I just ordered an Estie pen but bought the Journaler nib. I’ll share it when I receive it. Thanks for watching.
think people are worried by the prospect there might be something finer than a Japanese EF: have got Platinum 3776 EF & UEF, also have Pilot custom heritage 912 EF and Sailor pro gear EF - the truth is there’s a limit to how fine you’re ever going to get a nib to write: all these pens put down a similar line width, the Platinum 3776 EF puts down a slightly broader line:)
@manifunk1 It really depends on your preference. I don’t enjoy Sailor F nibs for writing, but they are perfect for small areas in calendars and planners. The UEF does serve a purpose. I was planning to use it to write scripture small enough to fit in a journal that I gave. The Platinum nibs are smoother than Sailor nibs. I think you will enjoy it.
Looking forward to your review of the ultra extra fine nib, this is one I am tempted to get but am flip flopping. Hopefully you will help me make up my mind in your more detailed review.
I have the 3776 blue EF The 3776 red SF 3776 Nice Lavande UEF And a lot of Preppy, Plaisir, Procyon in various nib sizes. All is Platinum. And yes, I'm a pen collector. Keep up the good work! Liselotte in Sweden
As a teacher, I do enjoy the use of the Preppy at school as not to worry. I do not have a Plaisir or Procyon. I tried the Nice, but did not like the feel of the corrugated body. I’m so glad you understand as a pen collector. Enjoy! So nice to hear from Sweden!
@@MarcellHobbs Sorry, I just wanted to talk about my Platinum’s. I also have Lamy, Parker, Fisher, Sailor.. etc. However, nice to see more women interested in pens! Pax et Bonum!
@liselottefrejdig1112 While I have well over 100 fountain pens, I do not have any Parker or Fisher fountain pens. I do have Parker ballpoint. I do hope we get to communicate more about fountain pens.
I only use Platinum ultra extra fine or Sailor extra fine, but I'm a sophisticated and highly educated individual unlike most of the fountain pen users who happen to be not so educated.
Excellent question. I always forget to try and share reverse writing with my new pens. Upon request I just tried it and it does work with feedback. I will ink my other LMZ Aloha which has a Fkex nib and make a video showing the performance of both. Thank you for watching.
I was hoping for a review of the Platinum 3776 UEF. Eleven minutes into a 13 minute plus review and you finally put pen and ink to paper. I felt some what frustrated and confused as to why you would compare it to a Pilot Broad nib.
I am so sorry you were frustrated in anticipation of a full review. I was actually sharing a first experience with a new to me nib size, the UEF. I showed the Pilot B nib, the only one I had at the time, for comparison of a range from UEF to B line width. I do appreciate you for taking the time to let me know how the video affected you. I will be more mindful in the future. Thanks for watching!

such a grace in you reviews. Thanks a lot, Madame.
I appreciate you for your kind words. Thank you for watching.
I didn’t know there was such a nib size. 😊 I think it would be good for people who like to draw, too, and need a fine line.
Thanks for sharing!
I was totally surprised as well. Yes, I do plan to use for sketching and fine writing. I am currently setting up a new sketch book art bag with ideas.
Thanks for doing this review I’m looking for an extra fine nib to use in my Jibun Techo and I might just go for this one
You are quite welcome! Yes, I agree it would be an excellent choice. I enjoy finer nibs in the Hobonichi grid paper.
@ do you think the ultra fine is too fine or do you think I should just go for it?

@ thanks for getting back to me I will go for it!

I’m actually loving that pen/nib and use it daily. I’ll try to get my review together for tomorrow.
I have the 3776 blue EF
The 3776 red SF
3776 Nice Lavande UEF
And a lot of Preppy, Plaisir, Procyon in various nib sizes. All is Platinum.
And yes, I'm a pen collector. Keep up the good work! Liselotte in Sweden

I just bought my first platinum in a medium nib just the other day! I want to experience more Japanese nibs for sure!
Yes, I’ll compare the Pilots and Platinums at a later time. Enjoy!
I only use Platinum ultra extra fine or Sailor extra fine, but I'm a sophisticated and highly educated individual unlike most of the fountain pen users who happen to be not so educated.
I’m so glad you contributed to the conversation. Enjoy your exquisite pens and nibs. God bless!
Does reverse writing works? If so, can you make a video
