Stephen. As much as we know you're a big pen guy, it's hard to argue with that superior writing sample from the Royale. You made an important point about the weight of the pen and how that can become fatiguing, but if you hands even average size, gripping a big pen like the Emperor could also get tiresome. Both are out of my price range, but this was an extremely interesting comparison.

I love so much when you smoothy say "well prepared" and "that wet" after you turned on the valve.

Very nice, thank you. You often give me a hard case of penvy. This is one of those time.

To keep within my budget I was choosing between the Yukari maki-e Milky Way or the Emperor Urushi Vermillion - this was helpful and thank you.

As someone who prefers a smaller pen I'm quite interested by the Yukare. Thanks for the review, it's nice to see the pens side by side.

I love how the nib on the Emperor writes. It looks more like an italic?

@gray_gogy 3 жыл бұрын

Late reply but it's a stub nib as he said. Stub is basically italic but less sharp. So if a regular nib is a circle and an Italic is a rectangle, the stub would be in between, so an oval.

Are the cap and the grip section on the Yukari Royale also made out of metal?

Thanks for this comparison. The only thing I would have you add is... well a 3-way shootout and also include a Custom Urushi. I like Pilot's plastic feeds that fill at the front of the feed. This allows you to get more ink out of the bottle since you don't have to dunk the nib into the bottle all the way down to the section. With a normal sized nib that's a cool feature. But with the very large nibs this is a very cool feature! Anyhow... I think the feed is made in multiple parts, probably precisely injection molded, and I bet they couldn't do that with an ebonite feed. But for the Emperor? Yeah, I agree they should have used an ebonite feed.

I don't think I've seen anyone compare the custom urushi with either of this. If you have any of these pens, which do you prefer?

Did the lacquer on the Emperor start out the same color as that on the Yukari?

@sbrebrown 5 жыл бұрын

Yes.

I would go for the Emperor, not so much because of the size, but because of the interesting filling system and the ebonite material.

@draco9717 4 жыл бұрын

Since the ink is in 2 compartments is it ok to fly with it

@sbrebrown 4 жыл бұрын

Yes

IMHO, I would look for a European pen if I want brass. Ebonite is a must.

The only problem is that wide bodies are not suitable for fine writting.The use of diluted ink on wet pens make shading on inks a pleasurable experience when writting.

@sbrebrown 5 жыл бұрын

I think that depends on the size of your hands.

@lpanades 5 жыл бұрын

@@sbrebrown In some sense, yes, but only if you have really big hands. The problem is that spherographic pens ruined the pen handling for handwritting. Is this really a problem? In some sense, yes. But seens that today with new technologies not so much. It is just for those that think to use pens extensively. In reallity the problem is quite another... it is not absolutly big pens to fit on big hands. Unfortunatly the writting technic are still preserved and should be learn for entusiastics. My love for the pens came not for the pens itself but them like an writting tool. You have another kind of enjoyment. The beauty of the world is its variety and the cult of some human characteristics that really gave to the life a sweet taste. Your channel and information are quite nive, really very very nice. You are in a deserved place. For me, I think, you should grow more and more because you like what you do.
