**UPDATE - Picked up the BIC today based on your review at Dollar General for $3. Purple 4th color with navy blue lower and white upper. Much sturdier and less rattle than I expected. Very happy. I’m a truck driver. Always signing freight bills, driving logs, order delivery and pick up forms, and facility visitor logs. Excellent writer. Replacing my Pilot G2 1.0 red for my daily paperwork pen. Thanks for the review.

What do you call a Kanwrite pan that doesn’t write? KANTWRITE.

I want to love my Mythos, but the loose posting rattle drives me nuts. Thank you for your reviews.

I am very much pumped to purchase one ...but i have really big hands..is it a bit short and thin ?

When screwed down does it seal off the feed like other vac fillers or does it stay back from the feed allowing ink to flow even when fully threaded shut? Im ok either way, just like to know especially since im about to take a flight and might pick one up.

I have an A3 and LS, I can tell there is a notable difference in the spring release. The LS is much quieter and the nib tracts back into the body slowly and smoothly. The A3 by contrast has a much faster and louder retraction, you can certainly feel the quality difference when you retract it compared to the LS. The LS’ parts are also metal compared to the plastic ends of the A3, so hence the obvious difference in the feel of quality. However, I do agree that the A3 is a good pen overall. I happen to enjoy retractable fountain pens, and I’m slowly building more of my collection around them. My collection is mostly pilot pens, but the Majohn’s certainly do have a place in my collection. If someone wants to try out one of my fountain pens I won’t hesitate to let them use a Majohn but my Vanishing Points, especially the LS are for my use only.

I love this review, James. I always trust your reviews and am keen to get them before I buy something. But I just felt that sailor is “onto a winner here” to use one of your phrases and ordered it. I had to order it from Goulet because it’s not available here in Australia, unfortunately. That’s ok because I have been able to pick up some “good stuff” that only Mr Goulet has. I am so glad that Sailor has been able to replicate the feedback in that steel nib. If you know, you know as the young folk say! I hope the weather is good in Tx. I heard reports of unseasonal rain. Keep up the good work!

The picture of your daughter's grip is the first time I've seen anyone with a grip like mine, although I don't find it affects my ability to write with a fountain pen. Thanks for the review of the Tuzu. I've been thinking of getting one as I don't yet have a Sailor and most of their pens are priced well out of my comfort zone.

Nice pen, I like it. Happy Fourth Mr. JG3

Great review, like always!

You talked about getting ink on the grip when filling, but one of the features of this pen is that you can fill it by only submerging what they call the the "heart hole" on the top of the nib.

Dude.... The "farting cat" comment made me buy the pen....... Im just finishing the rest of the review to see if it's any good! Farting cat..... Im dead!

There is already a better solution that doesn't require moving parts that could break. Some ingenious companies have created pens that have a Round grip so that you can hold the pen at any of the 360 degrees of a circle. Me thinks that Sailor is trying to fix a problem that doesn't exist.

I never understood this triangular type of grip. I guess back in the 70s when I was in school all of my teachers taught some version of the Palmer method. My index finger was trained to be on top of the pen, not on the side. I may get this pen just for the novelty of it, but I can’t see it ever replacing a standard round grip section

If you did even the most cursory research or examination of the pen, you would know Sailor addressed the filing issue. What looks like the breather hole is actually the filler hole. It's a brilliant design. In the interest of accuracy and fairness, you need to pull down this review and correct this glaring omission.

I've seen peoples' grips on pens, that hurt me to see the contortions some people have to go to. If the Tuzu helps with this; more power to them.

Nothing but gimmick.

I had a Parker 75 with a similar concept. However, you moved the nib to adjust the position of your grip. I didn't know if it was a gimmick or was a real feature. As it has a triangular grip, I think, now, that it does have a purpose, especially for those, like me, that positions my index finger on top of the grip. This could be beneficial for me. As for the pen itself, Sailor makes quality pens. That they have introduced a pen in the lower price range is a plus and certainly worth considering. Thank you for the review, James.

I really don't get this pen, the adjusting gimmick is pointless since a smooth grip would fit pretty much anyone, people with weird grips wouldn't feel comportable with that triangular shape regardless.

Interesting point about the doe tags.

Jg3 is definitely the best fountain pen RUclipsr. He's charming and the videos are well made, he also looks just like my old science teacher.

I had one of these when I was at school in the 80's and it was the way to write properly. I have purchased one of these new versions since it's hard for me to use a regular pen to hand write and it's beautiful, easy to use and got that old memories back to me, even the smell of the ink is the same.

Excellent review and demonstration, James. This is a pen I do not have and wondered about spring loaded fillers. The nice thing is that you can eyedropper fill the barrel as an alternative.

I had one but the nib chipped off after a month or so of writing, and I can't find a replacement...

Well these guys will survive being ran over by a forklift. Tough pens . If you do warehouse work

Great review! One of the other reviews stated that the clip was slightly askew (crooked) and not as straight in terms of its position on the cap. Did you notice that as well?

All of them any one of them. ❤

Here in the UK, every Doctor used one of these Parker 51s when I was a child I remember them clearly usually burgundy colour. Happy Days.

A big nib is basically good for visual matters.. Just my opinion.. 👍👍🇪🇸🇪🇸

Stop racking your brains for negatives. Why is that always necessary? Can't anyone just be happy with it? And there is a difference in price between the two you don't mention directly between this and Pilot. If you don't want copies cut back on buying Chinese pens. Simple. Stop the whining.

Very nice pen and review, James. I find (mostly based on Jinhao) that a No 5 nib is quite as able to develop some character over weeks as a larger nib. Thanks as always!

I bought this quite a few years ago. For the price it should have a better convertor. I love it but in my experience the pen dries out very quickly.

I love the word Harken!!! I have two Conklin Duragraph. One with a medium size nib and the other with a 1.1 stub nib. Both with JoWo nibs. God bless you and keep up the great videos!!

My only gripe is that the converter is sold separately thereby adding to the cost

A mi también me hubiese gustado un plumín del número 6. Saludos

Just got one and it doesn’t “pop.” Haven’t inked it and will probably exchange. I have to believe the lack of pop means there’s an issue with the seal that will cause the nib to dry up quickly.

I think the price is very reasonable for this pen. But, shipping from India can be expensive. The other drawback to this is the nib options. They only offer Medium and Broad. Given how wide the Medium nib writes, it would be too broad for my handwriting. I agree with you that my choice of nib size goes for the larger nibs like #6 or #8. As it keeps my hand further away from the paper. I do have smaller nib pens that are #5 or hooded and they do work well but I tend to hold the pen close to the nib and the larger nibs feel more comfortable to me. I think I will opt for the Noodler's pen, perhaps the Ahab or some other model. Thank you James for presenting a great review of this interesting pen and that you can eyedropper fill it which is a good option for me. Most converters just do not hold enough ink (the converter on the Jinhao 9019 and 9016 are the exceptions).

Nice review, James.

Wow, I actually order this last week. Cant wait to give mine a try 😍

8:40 if you're getting that much colour saturation from Pelikan Königsblau, it's plenty wet, I think.

Something so soothing about your voice 😀

Its one of my daily beater. V'sign also have another pen with similar shape but different deisgn on cap, it's called "SB". The cap has nice filgree work on it and writes equally wet amd smooth. Bang for bucks.

the shab is in fact all sourced from india...so there will of course be similarities...nice hand writing mr. pastor 😀 seems you worked a little on your speed 😂 have a good day from damp and extremely hot europe

I have just got a few Jinhao pens and this one stands out for quality. I like the heft and the snap-off cap for ease of use. It is a very smooth writer and looks like it costs a lot more than it does. I also like the 159 for its weight and smooth writing. I purchased several Centennial 100 pens and these are like little gems with their different liveries. These are all impressive and I’m in serious danger of turning into a collector! 👍🏻

Sir, i have used this pen and it can be used as an eye dropper also.. Vivek Kumar ( Dehri On Sone , Bihar, India )

Looks like a metal ahab

Good looking pen, but website only shows price in rupees and when checking out only lists India as billing address. Bummer

I think I would call the converter a vacuum converter rather than a push-pull converter. Nice review as always James.

The tiny nib in your caption looks ridiculous, but the overall design and quality look really nice, should de worth trying 😬

Love the deep red color and thats in the big side.
