2nd Jetpens haul

My second Jetpens haul was a smaller one. This one also happened at the end of last year but I only got the chance to blog about it now.

2nd Jetpens haul

First there's a Pilot Parallel calligraphy pen, with a 2.4mm nib. The Parallel is a very interesting pen with an unique nib design. The tines are actually two plates that are almost touching and this ensures very good ink flow between them.

Then there's a Sailor HighAce Neo fountain pen with an F (Fine) nib. This is a beginner pen from Sailor and I wanted a green one so I could match it with green ink. I also got a converter for the Neo. Ironically, the converter is half the cost of the fountain pen.

Finally, I bought a set of 12 color cartridges for the Pilot Parallel pen.

  1. Are you planning a review of the Sailor? I have been going back and forth on that and the Recruit but I was going to try to find a good review first.

  2. Oh sure. In time I will review all of my fountain pens but I can't guarantee when.

    As a quick tip, I will just tell you that the F nib is fine indeed. So you might want to get an M nib, depending on what you prefer.

  3. I really enjoy my Pilot Fine, which is more like an XF, so I'd probably like it as long as it's smooth. In some pens I need to get a fine, because the XF is too scratchy.

  4. Well... the HighAce F seems a little bit scratchy but it's just a feeling due to the fact that it's so fine. On the other hand it is very precise if you need it for fine work.
