hi! i've never used a fountain pen and i heard that pilot's kakuno is good for beginners. but the reviews are very mixed and would like to see more opinions.

is the fine tip scratchy? im not sure if i should get the fine or medium nib since im used to 0.35 ballpoint pens. has anyone tried it on regular papers? like yellow pads, bond papers, and such.

also, are there any fountain pens you could recommend for beginners? sorry for too many questions. just like to make sure hehe. thank you so much!

Hello!

I've been eyeing the Kaweco Sport (aluminum body) and I was wondering if there are other stores (online or physical) that I can go to besides Scribe. I want to see which colorways are available in the market before getting one for myself. What's the price point I should be expecting btw? Is 7.5-8k too much?

I've had fountain pens before, mostly Lamy but that was almost 10 years ago now so I'm sure the fountain pen market is more accessible now than it was before and I'm not really sure who the legit sellers are anymore.

I'm planning to get a Pilot Kakuno just to remind myself how to write with a fountain pen again.

Open to any pros and cons too btw!

Thank you!!
