So. I had the same experience - it was scratchy in the beginning. It has quite a bit of a learning curve and now, that I'm using it more often, I can really see an improvement on how it works for me. Line variation is amazing, it holds tons of ink, sometime you just have to rotate the nib a bit to get it flowing again.

make sure th wash the nib with soap and water with a tooth brush to get all the manufacturing oils off and then it will hold a ton of ink... and dont touch the tip of the nib

Hi, I do have a glass pen and you can use sandpaper to smooth when broken. I too bought the brass combo and can’t wait to use it.

I am currently using an ornament nib for laying down the pooled ink swatch and sailor hocoro with the feed for writing samples. I still love my kakimori. The scratchiness went away the more I used it.

I have the same set. I love the Kakimori aesthetic. Their ink bottles look so unique. Their notebooks are beautiful works or art. Thank you.

I think that when the oil on the nib is gone and you get used to turning the nib as you use it — to access all the incised channels evenly — it will become second nature. Thanks for this show and tell.

I don’t have this nib yet but am thinking about it seriously. I would use it for swatching my small ink collection, but more for drawing. I know there will be a learning curve, as it is so different from other drawing tools.

I love my kakimori brass nib and purchased mine from the store in Japan. I have my nib in a Tachikawa nib holder from JetPens because that holder has top. I have tile floors and tend to drop things. I bought my nib so I can write longer with my bottled inks.

Hi Karyna - I'm currently experimenting with a brass Kakimori nib ... I think I'll like it when I get used to it and can control my line width better!😂 The Sailor Hocoros are great ... I just wish they made Broad and Medium nib ones!!!!

You're wiping the ink off on the side of the ink vial, which is making it have less ink in the nib.

If you rotate the pen slightly while writing, you can get a half to a full A5 sheet of writing from one dip.

It being scratchy might be the angle that you're holding it at. If you hold it slightly more parallel to the page, the scratchiness might go away/be reduced for you.

I bought a J. Herbin glass dip pen last year which is 'fine'. I'll use it when I have to but it really doesn't show off the sheen or shimmer properties of inks. I much prefer the Kakimori dip pen. Like you, I chose the brass nib and sakura wood. I absolutely love it and now 'need' (aka: want) to buy sheen and shimmer inks that I was avoiding previously.

Which website did you find it at? I'd like to buy the glass nibs if possible.

This Kakimori looks like a much better option than the new Drillog. So many more advantages over the offerings from Drillog. I've tried to use a Rohrer and Klingner glass dip pen but came away greatly disappointed. I bought the Pilot Iro-Utsushi dip pen which is much more dependable. However, that doesn't offer much line variation. I think save for the Kakimori. Thanks for the review.

Hello very helpful video. I’m looking to buy one of these sets of kakimori nib and handle. Do you still use it? Do you still feel it was a great investment? Can I ask how much you paid for your set?

[ganeshchettiar]

Hi.. thanks for the unboxing.. I'd like to know if they charged you shipping?

[corysoxydiaries]

nice!!! mine is still otw, is it comfy to write with?

[SunshineFL]

I purchased the kakimori aluminum nib holder, brass, steel, and the fountain pen nib from yosecka stationary I no longer use my glass dip pens as they continue to break and they do not hold as much ink as the kakimori nibs.

[ginamiller]

I have a glass nib and am not very happy with it. I’m ready to get this brass nib so I can enjoy swatching my inks.

[sistergoldenhair]

Glass dip pens are useless as you get zero line variation and no indication of how an ink will actually behave when you actually use it in a pen. I’ve been using a pilot stainless steel dip pen to swatch all my inks and it’s been a game changer for me. I’m really liking this Kakimori too!

[mshaunplans]

Do you mind sharing where you purchased yours. Like you one part is available

[judihopewell]

You can rub iff the broken end with crocus cloth and super fine sandpaper and recover a tip…

[impish]

I would love to know where to get this
