Pilot Fountain Pen Justus 95 Fine Nib - Stripe Black - (FJ-3MR-SB-F)

How does a fountain pen suddenly become the absolute favorite among an artist's array of superior pens? It is not a gimmick. It works. The ultimate drawing machine.And to think...I hesitated.

Wow! JUST WOW!I can't express enough my love for this pen. It is my favorite from now on! just ordered the second one (with net texture).As a person who loves to write and draw I can definitely recommend this one for both activities!What makes it the overall winner for me? it has SOFT\HARD nib adjustment!It's not a gimmick! maybe it's not that 'obvious' for people that lack sensitivity in their hands BUT it does make difference.THE BIGGEST use for the adjustment function for me is (Amazing one!):SOFT adjustment = wet flow = good for flexing, excellent on high quality paper. feathering effect + may bleed on bad quality paper.Hard adjustment = pretty dry flow = good for fast writing, light skech, low quality paper (doesn't bleed trough and no feathering)#For writing:No cons here! feels butter smooth on all papers! I'm using fine nib.#Drawing:Pros - Semi flex for line variation ( F to B)Amazing ink capacityNo railroading (Except for too much flexing)Cons - Plastic bodyBasic designNot that cheap

This is my first fountain pen. After doing a lot of research, I went for the Justus. I feel that you get the max performance for the cost. Being able to adjust the nib is a really cool thing. And it makes the pen more fun to use. I lightly smoothed the nib with a fine dental finishing strip and it made a big difference.I'd buy this pen again for sure and from this seller as well. And it was neat to get the shipping instructions and user instructions in Japanese. I definitely recommend getting the expedited shipping. The sellers did a great job all around.

I am giving one less star because, like the other Pilot fine nibs, for this also the tines were too close and had to be adjusted to proper ink flow. Why can't Pilot fix this in the factory? I read in the fountain pen forum that this is a continuous problem with Pilot fountain pens.

Great pen and didn't have to wait very long for it. Thanks again and Happy Holidays Santa Trading!!! Back to the pen it's everything I hoped for and more.

This is the pen for a lifetime. A glorious semi-flexible nib, and great engineering. If you're serious about fountain pens, give it serious consideration.
