Welcome to my RUclips channel! My name is Jake and I am a penman and an avid fountain pen collector. This page is dedicated to reviewing all things related to fountain pens and writing and I am happy to be able to share my collection of pens and my opinions of the writing arts with you. My goal is to create both long and short video reviews for all of my pens. The short videos will be a nice introduction to the pen being talked about, but it won't go into too much depth. The long video reviews will talk about all aspect of the pen so that if you are considering buying it, you'll hopefully have all of the information you need! Please feel free to write comments and let me know what your opinion on the pen, your opinion on the video, and let me know what other pens you would like me to review! Thanks for stopping by, and feel free to subscribe to my channel for updates on all my new uploads!
Spencerian Part 1: Guide Sheet & Supplies
Well, I'm finally starting my Spencerian script tutorials! This is actually something that I have been hoping to do for a while, and look forward to creating this series. This video is part 1 of many (to come), and discusses the very basic most supplies needed for Spencerian writing. In addition, I address how to make a guide 52 degree guide sheet, which is essential for the practicing penman. Once you watch this video, get your supplies ready, and make your guide sheet, make sure to check out part 2 of the series! As always, let me know if you have any suggestions to make things better!

For a close-up writing sample, check out my other video: ruclips.net/video/VYPzwO3qXTE/видео.html Hey everyone! After a long hiatus, I had to share this new pen. Sorry for the long video, but I noticed that there weren't many reviews out there for the Spencerian re-grind Falcon nibs so I had to post one! This pen was ground by John Mottishaw over at Classic Fountain Pens and it is truly a wonde...
Sailor ProGear Imperial Black
Просмотров 19 тыс.8 лет назад
This is my review for the Sailor Professional Gear in Imperial Black (Fine Nib). It is definitely a smaller pen, but it is both beautiful and a pleasure to write with. The Imperial Black's body comes in a matte black, and all of it's accents are also coated in black. Furthermore, the nib is a 21K ion plated gold (black) nib that gives a decent amount of feedback as well as ink flow. Overall, I ...
Visconti Homo Sapiens

Here is a review of the coveted Visconti Homo Sapiens (EF Nib)! It is made of volcanic ash that is slightly porous and is capable of absorbing water to a certain extent. It is a hefty pen at 45g and quite large as well. Overall, it has a very smooth nib that lays down generous amount of ink - sometimes so much so that it bleeds through the paper. While I do enjoy this pen, I think overall I wou...
Nakaya Naka Ai Toki Tamenuri
Просмотров 9 тыс.8 лет назад
Here is a review of my Nakaya Naka-ai in the color Toki-Tamenuri (EF Nib). I am pretty blown away by the quality of this pen and the nib. I don't think I've ever had an EF nib this smooth that lays down such a fine line (0.2mm). This has to be one of my favorite pens that I own and I give it 11/10 (Yep, it's that amazing!)

I'm very excited to review my favorite pen of all time, the Pilot Justus 95 (Fine Nib)! This is an adjustable size 10 nib in 14K gold and it is, by far, the best nib that I have ever used. This pen gets a perfect 10/10 in my book, and I hope you enjoy the review. Check out my Quick Review of the Justus as well!
