万年筆 Sailor Fude De Mannen - Stroke Style Calligraphy Fountain Pen - Bamboo Green - Nib Angle 55 Degrees (11-0127-767)

This is a great pen I lost my last one so I'm please I was able to get another. Great for artists too.

Very good Japanese quality. Nice smooth barrel to grip . Nib very smooth for writing and drawing once you accustom to it. For drawing you can change between very thin lines to very thick lines in an instant.

I love the variation you get from fude nib pens. I’ve watched Paul Heaston use this pen for a while now on Instagram and his drawings are sensational! It’s very reasonably priced for the quality. Ink flow is consistent, I’m using DeAtrimentis at present. I can draw with the pen upside down for very fine lines with little flow issues which is great. Traditional look to it, shame it’s plastic but it can’t be perfect, but that helps to keep it light, it has a gold nib (assume it’s not real gold of course). I’d highly recommend getting this for sketching with, see example picture that I did. It’s great for Urban Sketching.

This is a BIG pen - must be virtually the largest in my sizeable collection. The cap is quite small, so it doesn't lose much length when uncapped. I like fude nibs. Very handy for highlighting / underlining with the normal side of the nib on the paper and a useful fine nib capability for notes by rolling the pen on its back. Just needs ink that is deep enough to read the notes without making the highlighted bits illegible. I found a forgotten bottle of Atramentis "whisky" (INK!) just right (and smells good when wet). There was just a slight tendency to fuzzy edges when highlighting in books - a function of the paper, not a problem with the pen. The fine writing with the back of the nib was - well - fine! There is no clip, but a Kaweco one would fit with a slight squeeze if you want one - it is a bit too long for my shirt pocket anyway. I don't like leaving an inked pen laying flat - they function much better if stored vertically with the nib uppermost. I had one of those springy clips they sell for clipping pens and other things onto nurses' uniforms, so mounted that on the side of my monitor stand and away we go - the tapered end of the pen slides easily into the spring, keeping it ready for use. Do I like it? Yes, it is a good pen. Anything I would like to improve it? Yes - supply a converter with it. Sailor pens do not seem to be compatible with any other brand, so you are either tied into their cartridges or need an expensive converter. Whilst these are good in the context of the more expensive regular Sailor pens, they are a bit out of proportion costwise with cheaper pens like this one - hence marked down a star.

it is an excellent instrument for the price. the nib is smooth and flexible, shines with good quality black ink. I can imagine its as good for drawing as it is for your copperplate or round hand. it doesn’t take a standard ink cartridge and sailor cartridges are expensive so I recommend purchasing a dedicated sailor converter. The body is plastic but doesn’t feel cheap. definitely love the colour. Overall a great instrument, excellent performer, and Made in Japan !

I saw the Sailor Fude mentioned on social media a lot lately as an excellent fountain pen for sketching. It’s usually best not to believe the hype, but at £13 I felt it was a risk I could take. I’m seriously impressed with the Sailor Fude. The nib is very smooth and the ink flows well. I’m left-handed so this can be a bit of an issue. It’s designed to work like a brush, so the width of the stroke varies depending on the angle the pen is held and will take a bit of getting used to. I’ll probably order another so I can have a couple of ink colours on the go at the same time. Full marks from me, highly recommended.

Excellent pen for the price. Glad i ordered the cartridge converter tho as nothing else i have will fit. Flude nib is 55 degrees which some have described as being difficult to master but i really don’t think its that difficult. Ink flo is good and i am enjoying using this pen. Nicely designed, not heavy and comfortable to hold. I like the slight extrusion on the cap to stop it rolling way when placed on. Surface.

Great pen!

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.

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!

This is a great pen for drawing with, you can make irregular lines while drawing with ease due to the angled tip. The supplied ink in the cartridge is not stable when wet though, but it is still and great pen! I will buy a converter so I can use it for line and wash as I intended.

Me encanta. El cuerpo es de plástico y su precio muy razonable, lo que la convierte en una pluma de batalla que no da pena llevar por ahí. Es perfecta para dibujar, ya que su plumín fude de 55 grados hace posible la variación del grosor del trazo, según la inclinación con la que se utilice. Viene con dos cartuchos de buena capacidad y tinta negra (no permanente). Estos cartuchos podrían rellenarse con una jeringuilla, o podría utilizarse un convertidor compatible de la marca Sailor para cargarla con más facilidad. Con una tinta permanente puede ser una muy buena herramienta de dibujo para combinar con acuarelas. Muy contenta con la compra.
