Pilot kakuno?
Ive been buying super cheap Chinese fountain pens lately and they're surprisingly good.- johnyesjohn@mastodon.socialSep 10, 2026, 6:18 PM
@Tristan yup that one. i hope it works great!

@yesjohn
Its a good pen. I prefer it over some more expensive ones like the Safari.
You're going to spend thousands of dollars in the next couple years on fountain pens, you know. 
Sep 10, 2026, 6:11 PM@yesjohn show us your fountain pen choice. They’re so satisfying. Be prepared to have ink stains on your hand.

@af i got the Pilot Kakuno. it looks really cute and it's pretty cheap for a beginner pen. im excited!

@toddbuddy @af i got one for idk the exact conversion but about 6 dollahs i think. pretty good for entry pen i think.

@yesjohn @toddbuddy I reckon you’ll be happier with it than my first which was a Kaweco Sport. But this is a slippery slope, you’ll get into inks, you’ll want different nibs. Welcome to your newest obsession.

Buck Moonbootblackcub@woof.groupSep 11, 2026, 8:16 AM@yesjohn so i have caught the fountain pen bug but I actually found cheap £5 ones of amazon work really well

@bootblackcub is it the pilot kakuno? i didn't know they can be cheap.
StronkBearStronkBear@woof.groupSep 11, 2026, 8:56 AM@yesjohn I like the Lamy Safari. They usually do a unique colour every year with a matching ink.

@StronkBear wow it looks really nice. are you using it for writing or do you ink your illustrations with it?
