Thank you! This is the best comparison on the internet 🤗
I know it is quite off topic but does anybody know of a good site to watch newly released tv shows online?
@Jayson Riley Flixportal xD
@Otto Louis Thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service =) Appreciate it !!
@Jayson Riley Happy to help xD
Agreed!
Currently researching my first gold nib, I've probably watched this video 10 times. Thanks yoseka for all the hard work you've put into this one. Love these deep dives and reviews!
Same i love my Medium Prera but not sure if a Medium Gold may be too "broad" for my taste.
@@JosephDicksonSee if you can find a FineMedium 🙂
I will watch this video 10 times too ❤😂
As always, you make the best and more complete video regarding nib comparison! Thank you for all your effort and content!!
The explanation about the meaning of the model number was very very useful. Thank you so much!
Having two people and a conversational style video makes this easy and fun to watch.
Excellent in-depth, informative treatment of a classic pen. Great job!
Love the comparison! Probably the best I've seen here on YT. Thank you!!! 💕💕💕
Loved the detailed review on the custom 74 various nib options available globally. This really helped me decide which nib to go for honestly. I loved the SF nib.
Wow! I am just starting my fp journey and learning about nib sizes. I am most familiar with gel pen tip sizing and this video was so helpful in my understanding of which nib will work best for me. 🙌🏼
Thank you, ladies! Wow this is a very detailed sampling of line widths! Appreciate it!
Now I know what those numbers denote. Thank you for the info & details! I have a couple of 74s & a 743 in different nib sizes & all of them are smooth writers, especially the 743. Very detailed line variations. Keep up the good work & thank u again !
Wow! That was a great video. Very informative. You took out the mystery of pilot’s numbering system. Thank you so much.
There is so much complexity to fountain pens and I love it!! Not as much as I love you guys!! Another amazing video and so informational! Hope you guys have a beautiful and blessed week Yoseka family!! ❤️🧿
Love the comparison. I really like all the different tests and nibs
I have no idea why I watched an hour long video about nibs I probably have little chance of getting. But I really appreciate the level of detail you provide and the effort behind it. Great job, thanks.
These series are very helpful! Thanks for making them!
Very well done! I love the way you set each nib in a way to easily compare with the previous and next. Teaching us what the digits mean, along with the sizes (5, 10, 15), was both enjoyable and super helpful. You have my sincere thanks.
Hi, great video on the PC 74 lineup. Whoa, very nice demo with all the nib sizes, well done. I'm a fan of Pilot Custom's line, and though I sure don't have many, the PC pens I do have, I like. Glad to get a chance to look through your store, and look forward to watching your videos. 😃
Thank you so much! Always wondered what the numbering system meant and I've been using Pilot Fountain Pens for years. Pen Nib & Line Comparison was always incredibly helpful as I was looking to adding another 912 to my collection.
this is by far the most watched review that i can assure you. always come back to this whenever i am about to buy a pilot gold nib pen and in need of nib comparisons.
Thank you so much, what a compliment!
Non ho mai visto una comparazione fatta così bene, siete bravissime 👏🏻, questo video è fantastico 👍🏻
Thank you so much for making this video! I've been considering getting a Pilot Custom 74, and this is so helpful! I was thinking about getting a fine, but after watching this, I think the medium will be more what I like!
Thanks for all this detail - what an amazing lineup!!
Really thank to you. It will be my first golden pen and you showed everything about custom 74. Know that it is the best video and you are helping a lot of people. Thanks again.
Really appreciate your nib comparison videos. Because I prefer broad nibs, it's so difficult to find writing samples of this nib, especially in videos. Yours has helped me make a decision. Grateful for the timestamps too.
It is the most helpful video I've ever seen to decide a Pilot nib!!! Thanks!
I refer to your line comparison videos all the time! Thank you so much for this great resource 🙏
Thank you so much for saying that! We're glad you find these videos helpful :)
Great video! Thanks for the comparison & thorough writing samples 🤓👍🏽
They way you have explained the coding system and the writing, the lines, its an awesome content and you have spoken and explained so well, all kind of confusions will be clear with most of the people. I own SM Nib Custom 74 since more than 18 months and use it often.
Thank you Gaurav! So glad you are enjoying your Pilot Custom 74!
Thank you very much for this detailed video! It helped me decide which nib I'd order on the Custom 74. Best video in this regard, since your writing is quite legible and closer to how most people write :)
you're delightful. this video helped me buy a 742 soft fine and it's really fine :). I can't imagine how ef feels like. this one is quite smooth but i'm comparing it to a medium pelikan... thank you for your time and explanation :) love the cheerful commentary
Thank you so much for doing this comparison video. I am researching a gold nib pen for my wife's birthday. I think the soft fine medium will be great choice.
Amazing content. I wish this made it easier to choose, but they all look amazing!
One of the few informative and fun videos I have found on FPs Keep up the great work
Aw thank you so much!
Thank you! This is one of the best videos I have found Great Job 🤗
Thank you for the clear and elaborate comparison - couldn’t find any other videos where the Pilot nibs are so clearly compared. I was going to be buying sight unseen, and the Fine Medium looks just perfect.
I just discovered you videos. Thank you so much for comparing the lines to a multiliner thickness.
I'm an illustrator. I'm switching out my technical pens for fountain pens.
I bought a Custom 743 in medium before I discovered your comparisons. I love it, but I was really surprised at how broad the line is. It is actually thicker than my Kaweco Sport medium nib. It's okay because I want a broader lined smooth nib in my pen case. Thank you for all of your fantastic videos! The Sailor nib comparison is also really great and helped me arrive at my decision to get a medium-fine in Sailor.
Thank you! This is the most helpful comparison of pilot nibs that I have seen
Thank you so much :)
The line width comparisons are extremely useful.
Very nice demonstration. Thank you for the video. Your information is helpful.
Thank you Jose! So glad you liked the video!
Very informative. Thank you for making this video.
Omg! THANK YOU!!! I have 2 Custom 74s, F and M love them, daily carry, have been looking at a FM or B and have been going crazy... Until you!!!!😊😊😊
Very thorough comparison! thank you
That is very helpful, especially when you compare the line thickness with similar pen, to have the nib width in mm. That’s the most helpful thing personally and it’s the first time i’ve seen it in a review. Keep it up!
Thank you so much! We're glad the pen comparison was helpful!
excellent review. Thank you!
This is a great comparison of nibs. I have a suggestion you may find helpful. When I fix and tune nibs I measure the line width I draw on paper directly with a good quality calliper and a 11x loupe. I can measure the line width consistently to within 0.02 mm precision. Using this method you don’t have to rely on guessing and using a rough visual comparison with these liners. You could simply tell your viewers : (for example) This nib creates a line 0.64 mm wide on the upstroke and 0.86mm on the horizontal.
I love your videos, the prep you put in is amazing.
These are absolutely awesome. Thank you so much!!!
Great comparison. I wish that Pilot would offer more of their nibs outside of Japan. I'd especially like to see the #5 music nib!
That was very comprehensive, thank you.
Great video! Super thorough and helpful. I hope you make a Platinum Century nib & line comparison next!!! :)
Thank u for sharing the inform I need.
I discovered your channel/store by chance, watching an ink review here on RUclips. I cannot remember whose video it was, but they were showing different ink samples, making swatches. I just had to look up your store, because the sample bottles were so darn cute!
I want to thank you for putting all that time and effort into making this outstanding video, which definitely helped me decide on which nib to get. You've got yourself a new subscriber. I feel kinda guilty for not buying my next Pilot from your store, but the EU makes it nearly impossible for us to purchase anything outside its borders anymore, unless you're willing to spend twice as much on the same pen. Madness. However, if and when I make it to New York again, I am definitely paying your store a visit! And if you ever want to open a franchise store in Belgium, let me know. ;)
Thanks to your video I finally understand my Custom 74 MS pen. I bought it while I was in Japan without knowing exactly what I bought, lol. My Japanese isn't good, but I could understand that it was rare and it did have a variation in its line width. I love the variation, but was always frustrated that I could not write as fast as my other fountain pens (ink would not flow as fast after continuous use), which made me think that it was somewhat defective. Now, I know it is not. It was made for music and the double slit in the nib was to draw out more ink. Thank you!
Eversince I learned and loved parker branding and got it from my dad, I fell into the fountain pen rabbit hole lol and brought me here. And now I’m into pilot fp’s. Thanks for this detailed and very informative video of line comparison for various nib sizes. It’s or up to for me. Thank you ladies
this is by far the best nib video on pilot fountain pens on the internet
Thanks so much Kelly!
*Thank you, I appreciate the information, I understand better now.* *Smiles*
I love you guys! ❤❤ best ocd approved videos on youtube!
Wonderful! Subscribed!
Outstanding
Thank you so much. I was watching multiple reviews and I started to suspect that pilot had a huge collection of custom line pens, and you guys break this down for me. I was already starting the job you guys did, so thanks for saving time. And by the way, I write everything with upper case letters, or capital letters, as a way of keeping discipline to keep legible, because if I write with lower case ones, then I start to not be able to re-read my own notes. Oops. And I wanted something simple and classic, that's why I am considering the Custom 74 and the Custom 743, as my first proper fountain pen. Because I like to write, but now I regret to have most of my previous writings written down on graphite instead of ink, because every time I manipulate them, they fade away a little bit more.
Thanks for watching Jacob! So glad you found the video helpful! What fountain pen did you end up going with??
@@Yoseka I am trying to get the Pilot Custom 743 #15 Soft Fine Medium but I haven't been able to find a good store from Japan that can ships to America continent. Any recommendations of stores to order from?
Veeeery very good, so much detail. If you showed it on a 5 mm squared paper it would be even perfect, but you helped me so much anyway - Thank you!
Thank you, really useful!
Thank you so much! Glad to hear this video was helpful!
This video was extremely helpful ! Thanks for the demos. I love fine medium or soft fine medium. If only you could have added the waverly and Falcon nibs.
I am using the Pilot Custom 823 as the base for my fountain pens and purchase/sell Pilot Custom 743 with the nib options I want in those pens. So far I have the standard medium (bernstein), a falcon nib (demonstrator) and a soft medium (smoke). The soft medium is about to be switched out for a soft fine medium and then the collection is perfect 👍🏻 I wish Pilot would make another 823 so I can expand my collection ( how about a silver version of the demonstrator 👀). Thanks for posting your videos, they are excellent and spot on with regards to interesting topics.
Excellent! Than you 🙏
Your comparison helped me understand the difference between the nibs much better, not only visually but also in a tactile sense, through your description of the feedback from the nib as you write. Many thanks! I wonder how the Pilot SF compares to the 21k MF nib of the Sailor Amaoto series that you introduced recently.
Oh wow, thanks for covering Pilot Custom 74, I am finally going to get a gold pen am I
Great video. It answered a lot of my questions about Pilot nibs. Pilot makes my favorite gold nib pens. I only wish the Soft Fine and Fine Medium were available here in the US.
You could buy directly from Japan using a proxy service like White Rabbit... Or Tylee.tw ships internationally.
@@yuklimka7251 Is it the pilot custom F thinner than Safari EF?
If you still haven't purchased one, ebay and Amazon have carried pens with these nib sizes, I see them frequently as I am currently shopping for my own Custom 74.
Thanks for the comparison, I think the most complete. But you should put the results in a separate file, for easier reference in order to evaluate to evaluate all the nib size in a single glance.
You are always clear and comprehensive. Can I know the soft fine up to how many mm it goes when I put pressure?
Thanks fo r all
This is a great video to show the nib variety. I know for me, a soft nib is better for English than it is for Korean. Would be cool to see how language script can dictate a nib preference...or if it matters at all!
That's interesting! Language definitely plays a factor! A lot of these nibs, especially some that are Japan only are really made for Kanji/Chinese character writing and I'm sure there are nuances to Korean writing too!
@@Yoseka I went with the F in translucent blue, and I know it's just a pen, but I cannot stop smiling. What a beaut! Thank you for your video, it helped me choose between an F and an M nib. Will visit the shop if I'm ever in NYC!
Brilliant...
Ah! I now wish I had got the demo 74, I got the black one because it was the closest to the solid black/gold which is unfortunately, not sold in the US. I love watching the ink slosh around the pen all of a sudden months ago.
Thank you very much for the very informative video 😊 I am thinking of buying either a soft fine medium or soft medium, which one is the smoother writer?
His indeed is a great explaination. As far the third digit of the name, I was told that the third number denotes the market value in which the pen is to be sold like custom 823 the 3 would denote it be sold for 30,000 yen; 2 20,000 and so on. The third number to identify the nib size is really interesting.
Wow! The EF would be an excellent pen to practice calligraphy 😮 I love the length and balance of this pen.
Would you tell the pilot custom F thinner than Safari EF?
@@VladimirRobespierre oh yes! For sure!
This is alone is worth the subscription
Thanks for watching!
Don't you guys think that the looks thicker than the ?
that soft fine oh my
Love your videos! They've been so helpful in picking out pens that are more of an investment than an impulse purchase.
Would you consider doing one of these for the Pilot custom 823?
For sure, it's on our list of videos we want to make!
@@Yoseka thank you so much for the reply ☺
Can’t wait to see that video!!!
can you explain what the numbering on CH 845 pen? It has the same size 15 pilot nib, although it is 18k gold, rather than 14k. Thank you for your wonderful video.
Hi there , Could you Please please make a Comparison on 742 nib size? Thankss :)
Great video. Sound improved as the video went on. I am old and hard of hearing, having a hard time understanding language behind the masks….turned on the captions.
Perhaps I should have gotten the medium in the 74. I have several Pilot pens, and my fine nib 74 is the one I use the least. It works ok, I like the way the pen looks and feels, and I’ve never had any problems with it….it just isn’t all that exciting to use. It’s not very smooth, compared to the fine Custom 823, or even the Decimos I have (just got the violet Decimo this week in medium from your shop…looooove it!). I wonder if you can purchase nibs separately for the 74? The medium would probably suit me better.
Hi.. The medium nib of custom 74 vs platinum medium and fine nibs.. Which is better..
Hello, I really liked the video. I wonder if the thickness of the nibs is the same in the case of the Pilot Custom 823?????
Thanks and regards.
Hi Bernardo! thank you for watching and commenting! The Custom 823 line widths are pretty similar but it's a softer and bouncier nib so the stroke is more wet and you can get a wider line too.
Wow, that is a huge jump in line width between broad (0.55mm) and double broad (1.0mm)
74 is the entry level gold nib selling at 10,000 Yen, the 742 sells for 20,000 Yen and the 743 sells for 30,000. That's where the numbers come from. But you are right about the nibs getting bigger and the pens longer and bigger in diameter.
Thanks for the explanation. However the last digit of the 3 digit customs pen reflects the price and not the size of the nib. 912 and 742 are 20000yen price. 745 and 823 are the 30000 yen price and the 845 is the 50000 yen price.
Really throughout review of the pilot custom 74 nib. I am wondering what’s the different between music nib and stub nib?
Thank you! Music nibs have more of a rounded tipping and stub nibs are completely flat, but they produce a similar writing experience overall so they are compared to each other a lot!
I believe the last number doesn't designate what nib size it is. But rather the recommended retail price in Japanese Yen (in ¥10,000) at the time of introduction. I know for a fact that the pilot custom 845 and the 823 have the same nib size (a #15) and obviously they have a different last digit.
I'm debating between the soft medium and the medium nibs bc I like the idea of the soft medium but I am a little heavier handed so I'm worried I would ruin a soft medium nib that way. I haven't ruined any of my steel or other gold nibs as I am careful not to apply pressure but everyone makes it sound like the soft nibs are very touchy and the slightest pressure might ruin them and that worries me 😅. Does anyone have any advice about what would be best for me? I used to have a heavier hand before using fountain pens and I've certainly lightened up the pressure I use significantly, so is this something I could learn with this pen? I couldn't afford to replace it if it got ruined which is why I'm asking. I'm leaning more towards a regular old medium for this reason even tho I like the bouncy nib and the line variation seen and described for the soft. Unfortunately there is not a place anywhere remotely near me where I could test these pens out, so that isn't an option for me and I would have to travel long distance for a pen show too, so also not an option.
Thank you so much for this. This was extremely helpful. I got my hands a Custom 92 with a nib, I love it! However I was not able to find information on the nib and now I know why, it was asia only.
Love the Pilot FM nibs. They are so perfect! Glad you are loving yours too. They should make them more widely available on different Pilot pens here!
@@Yoseka Have you noticed any difference in smoothness between the M and FM nibs ? I don't know which one to choose.
Where can you buy the soft nibs? Seems like in the US no one has the 74 with the soft nibs
This video is ocd approved and need approved. If you wanna be a nerd about pilot nibs and learn all about them this is your video.
Haha what a compliment, thank you!
Would you consider the EF like a needlepoint?
The 2 after the 74 also stands for a price in the 20.000 Japanese yen, the 3 for a price in the 30.000 yen.
I’m watching this video while I’m waiting on my mailman to drop off my first Gold nibbed pen… A custom 74
Can i get some line variation with the Fine?
