The Smoothest Writing Ever! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - I didn’t think this pen would be this smooth. At first glance, you won’t see it being a beauty contestant – it is a pretty basic pen and doesn’t even have a clip. But you better believe it’s smooth! I have a Lamy Safari Medium Nib Fountain Pen and a Pilot Metropolitan MR3, both great designed. But when it comes to the actual smoothness of writing, this pen is alone in its league! Pilot’s nibs are also relatively thin, which is excellent for notebooks, but not very bold for documents’ signatures. If you’re looking for a very smooth, almost buttery, writing feel for notebooks – this is it! 💎 Review: Perfect! Its perfect!! - If you are buying a fountain pen for the 1st time this is perfect for you. At this price point ot gives absolutely smooth writting experience and also it's very very Light weight the nib it has used is a premium nib from the pilot metropolitan which is priced around 2k inr. It's extremely value for money and the look it provides is also beautiful as I'm using the transparent one but i would suggest you people to go with the fine tip for notes making as it'll give you a good writting experience good feedback also smoothness and less broad ## Features - Pilot Kakuno Fountain Pen: The Pilot fountain pen Kakuno is designed for novice and experienced fountain pen users in mind, the Kakuno features a smiley face on the finely crafted nib to ensure the perfect writing position - Variety of Nib Sizes and Colors: This beginner fountain pen comes in a Medium point nib with red, blue or lime caps and gray barrels.

Pilot uses proprietary converters and cartridges. **Q: Can the Con-40 converter be used in this pen?** A: The Con-B, Con-40 and the Con-70 can all be used in the Pilot Kakuno. **Q: Is the ink waterproof and archival?** A: Pilot Namiki ink, which is what comes in the cartridge with the pen, is not waterproof or archival. For replacing the ink in the cartridge with permanent, archival-quality, and water resistant ink, I recommend buying Diamine Registrar's Blue-Black Ink, a 3ml luer-lock syringe, and a blunt-tipped dispensing needle at least 3 inches long. 1. Gently insert the cartridge (JUST BARELY) into the pen, only enough to open the cartridge. Pull it back out, rinse the ink out of the pen, and empty the ink from the cartridge with the syringe and needle. Dispose of the ink, and rinse the cartridge, syringe, and needle with clean water. Shake the water out of the cartridge. You can dry it out with a Q-tip if you don't want you new ink diluted at all. 2. Withdraw ALMOST 1ml of the Registrar's Blue-Black Ink with the syringe, and fill the cartridge with it. 3. Insert the newly refilled cartridge into the pen, gently but firmly. Set the pen nib-down in a cup , with the cap on, for 5-10 minutes, so the ink can saturate the feed and reach the nib. And don't press too hard if it's still not writing yet. Give it some more time. **Q: What size cartridge does this pen take?** A: The PILOT KAKUNO FP takes a PILOT NAMIKI IC100 FOUNTAIN PEN INK CARTRIDGE or a PILOT CON 40 converter. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Real Surprise!
