Sailor Fude De Mannen - Stroke Style Calligraphy Fountain Pen - Nib Angle 55 Degrees (Bamboo Green)

The best. It's been 3 years I purchased it.

Once you buy the pen, you may face some frustration because it takes some time to get the hang of it. The trick is to move only the wrist and not the forearm while drawing with this. I almost gave up thinking it's not meant for me. But I persisted having spent Rs 1800 on it. And now it's my favourite pen to use. But the converter that you have to buy separately with it holds very less ink so probably not suitable for long travel sketching. Persist and you will love this pen.

Does the job as it should. Ready anytime

I've read a few reviews on the internet that were scathing claiming this pen is made of cheap plastic and so I hesitated for a while before buying it. It's a beginner's fude pen so it is silly to compare it to pens that cost 15 times it's price. Whether you want to try your hand at a nib like this before investing in something considerably expensive or if you just want a pen that works well and is not expensive this is a good option. It's just a lot of fun to sketch and doodle with different coloured inks.

I owned both at some point. Heres what I felt.Sailor Fude De Mannen 40°- good for controling line variation by extending and contracting fingersSailor Fude De Mannen 55° vs 40°- not easy to get intermediate line widths, however, you can easily get thin or thick line.- you can hold reverse or vertical for thin lineConclusion both are different. If you want only either thin lines or thick line you can go for this. Pentel pocket brush pen are better if you want variation and smoother thick line.

This pen is recommended for artists, whether sketching from life or capturing travel scenes. It comes in the package with two ink cartridges, but the ink isn't waterproof.

Great pen for artists who loves do sketches.it gives linear variations. Nib has superior quality.It comes with two black ink cartridges .Overall a beautiful pen.

Average quality for the money

Dünyanın en kullanışlı fude dolmakalemi, yazı için değil, kent eskizi için kullanmak üzere aldım. 55 derece kıvrık ucunun yardımıyla skeçlerime olağanüstü bir karakter katıyor. Teslim tarihinden iki hafta önce gelince ekstra sevindim. Amazon Germany'den getirtildi. Bundan sonra satıcı Amazon Germany olunca hiç tereddüt etmeyeceğim. Hele de kargo şirketi Kolay Gelsin olunca... Skeç yapanlara mutlaka Sailor Fude almalarını öneririm.

È semplicemente fantastica, la scrittura è meravigliosa, disegnare è una meraviglia top per me

わたしは筆ペンとしてではなく、ボールペンや水性ペンの代わりとしてこのペンを購入しました。水性ペンでは太字・細字の２本（１本の両側）が必要でしたがが、この曲がったペン先は１つで書きわけきます。太い線は見出し文字や枠線、フロー図の線に活用。２本目、３本目にはカラーインクを入れ、注釈（細線）とアンダーライン（太線）で活用。線の書き味もなかなか綺麗で、書いてて楽しいです。マーカー的に使うなら、ペン軸角度は40度より55度が良い。ボールペンや水性ペン、蛍光ペンの方が安いけど、すぐにインク切れになってしまうので、インクが補充できるという意味でも万年筆は重宝。不満点は、この緑軸は長すぎることです。普通のボールペンくらいの長さが良いと思う。

My only issue with this fountain pen is how expensive the converter is, it doesn’t come with one. Otherwise great choice and so versatile!

A great pen that cannot be beat for the price! I own a lot of fountain pens—both nicer ones and cheaper ones—and this one's great. Nice solid green body with black and gold accents, including a gold colored steel nib. No problems with ink flow. Writes smoothly. No "hard starts", despite the cap seemingly not fitting airtight. Also, it came with two Sailor brand black ink cartridges so you can start writing right away, and the Sailor ink works very nicely with this pen. Also, the barrel is long enough that you can put two cartridges in the pen—one in the nib and one spare on top. Instead of cartridges you can also use an international style converter so you can use whichever fountain pen ink you like (I prefer Noodler's Ink).This isn't a pen designed to be used for journaling or writing long passages, but rather is great for playful notes, doodling, and also excellent for trying your hand at writing some neat East Asian script calligraphy like Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Mongolian, Thai, etc. The angle of the nib is such that it's easy to get big bold lines with ease while holding it regularly, but it can also be held like a calligraphy brush—which I'm guessing is why the pen itself is so long. Finally, while it doesn't have a clip like most fountain pens, it does have a small bump on the cap that stops it from rolling off the table.The one and only little thing I was disappointed by is that the pen in the item picture has pretty Japanese script printed in gold on the barrel of the pen, but mine is just plain green. That's okay considering how nice the pen writes, but the seller should update the picture. All the same, 5/5 stars.
