I have the lilac Decimo that's shown in the video! It was my first (and only, for now) gold nib. I wasn't expecting to feel a difference, but you really can!!! I love it so much, of my pens, it's my favorite writing experience.

I purchased my pilot falcon from you guys last year and it became my favorite inking pen for mixed media art by being flexy when I need it. The ink does splatter if you try to get line width variation on cold press watercolor paper, but I keep a fude pen for that! To date that is the most expensive pen I own and mainly have it for its flex. Everyday carry/trips/etc, I'm fine with steel, with twsbi diamind being the best with highly-textured watercolor paper.

Same! Pilot Falcon is my absolute favorite pen now. Use it for everything. And on more textured paper, like my Arches or Baohong CP, I use a fade pedn. The Uni Pin Extra Fine Brush is AHmazing for super fine detail and then the Pentel pocket brush pens and Uni brush pens with waterproof pigment ink are my other go tos😄😄

1:15 higher number (higher gold content) != softer nib 2:13 a gold nib is not equal to a soft nib (for instance: the nib of the platinum #3776 is as rigid as a steel nib, excluding their soft nibs that are made to be springier)

The price is high because of the price of gold. The rest of the pen is usually free with the gold nib. I have my first gold nib pen, a Pilot E95s.

my first fountain pen was a gold nib and I regretted it immediately hahahaha because I couldn't really tell the difference at all between the 200 dollar gold nib one and 5 dollar steel one... and then years later now I have over 10 gold nib fountain pens... and I didn't get them cuz they're gold nib or whatever, I got them cuz of their pretty designs lol

Modern stainless steel is at least as corrosion resistant as gold (the main reason gold was used for nibs) and similarly soft and responsive as well. The only reason to buy a gold nib pen today is because you want to.
@ARCSYS4049

It is also important to note that modern inks are much less corrosive than their antiquated counterparts. There are more fountains, inks, and suitable paper types now than ever were back when fountain pens were relevant to the general public, by many orders of magnitude, in fact.

I have a Sailor Pro Gear Slim Shikiori Autumn Drizzle and I absolutely love it. I have a few other fountain pens and it is up there in my favorites along with my Esterbrook Raven. I bought it as special splurge after keeping an eye on Sailors for a while and waiting for a colour I loved. I sort of understand why people think that a light weight pen body with this expensive gold nib might seem ridiculous, but if you are writing more than a few sentences a heavy pen would be horrible and hurt. I can write with my Pro Gear for so long.

I have three gold nib pens, one from each major Japanese brand, Pilot, Sailor, and Platinum. They are, however, all vintage, 1960s-1970s Japanese pocket pens. They are my top three pens so far. In order of preference, Pilot Elite, Platinum pocket pen, and Sailor pocket pen. the Platinum and Sailor are close contenders with each other, both have a little more feed back than the Pilot, but all three are excellent.

I heard that "why did you do this to me?" joke years ago, but it was a devoutly religious man who fell on hard times, so he hits the floor, knees first and is praying his heart out, culminating in "God, why did you do this to me?", and God replies "Not meeth, youeth." As for pens, I'm afraid I sort of cheaped out, and didn't get something I liked writing with. It was a MAJOHN Ti200 Titanium Alloy Fountain Pen, Fine line, with a 14K Gold Nib. At least, that's what they SAID it was. It was one of the scratchiest, least comfortable pen I've used. It's put away in my collection instead of being one of my daily drivers. I can't even tell if it's gold or not. The nib is shrouded, so I can't see any markings on it. For all I know, it's inexpensive Chinesium. Did anyone else get one of these, and how was the writing experience with it?

Tbh i dont get why people are so obsessed with the Lamy 2000. The Lamy Studio, has also a gold nib, where you actually see the gold somewhat, doesnt has the sepcial formed nib, which is a problem with the Lamy 2000. because if you tilt the nib just a little, you are done writing. Next point is that the oval shape is not that great cause you ahve to find the perfext spot for your fingers over and over again. I would really recommend the Lamy Studio way more than the Lamy 2000.
