I own this pen and did not know that! was one of my fav movies as a kid too, thank you!

ink can be changed, clip can be purchased separate, def has a lot of fiddle factor too but im a fiddler so thats a plus for me

Could you tell me about the threads on yours? Is there any damage (or is it easy to damage them) or anything like that. Thanks

Everybody does. Ha.

sounds like a typical NY city jewish person 🤷‍♀️ lol

wish i could do something like that with the rollerball version. the cartridge is so incredibly tiny :(

They will scratch, and you cannot

Nick Shabazz in terms of build quality which one feels more robust?

+Daniel Hollar Already happened!

Another interesting one would be the pen version of your "automatic vs quarts watch", something like "fountain vs rollerball".

+Daniel Hollar Great idea!

I'm very happy with this as my only pen, once I got it adjusted. Beautiful thing. The only real complaint is that it takes cartridges only, but they're cheap.

@@NickShabazz hi! how did you adjust it?

@@NickShabazz If you get a syringe you can squirt new ink into that cartridge and one cartridge will last a bottle of ink. I do this all the time.

That's brass. I have a review of the Liliput in Fireblue soon.

Nick Shabazz thank you so much for the reply! Looking forward to the fire blue and other reviews.

standard paper is fine. cart life it hard to compare but they can seem to go quick if you are doing alot of writing. Id guess maybe 5-10 standard pages per.. depending on writing style of course.

apart from that he said weird

The Pilot Vanishing Point (review soon!) is a great choice, as is this guy. Maybe the Lamy 2000.

Yeah, the Pilot VP (or Decimo) is nice for people who write a lot. You can get the pen open and shut very quickly and don't have to worry about the cap, which is nice in a classroom environment. The only downside is that the capacity is relatively low. I think it's only .5ml or so. I don' t know how much you write but that may not last you but a week or so. Alternatively, a Lamy 2000 or a Pilot Custom Heritage 92 are piston fillers and they hold a lot more ink and are easier to work with. Both are worth the money, have gold nibs and offer a great writing experience at around $100. If you want something cheaper, look at the Lamy and TWSBI pens under $50.

I've got a Lamy 2000 on my desk right now, actually. Same jackass who "compelled" me to order a Liliput.

I love this tip so much, I'd upvote it multiple times if I could. I had a Fisher Space Pen around, but the thought to actually even try its cap on my Liliput never even occurred to me. Now I just put the space pen cap on my black aluminium Liliput, and it's great, acts as a much needed rollstop. Be careful though, it's a really tight fit so I had to use some force, and managed to chip the black coating of the pen. That totally does not bother me, but worth pointing it out to take care if you attempt to try it.

Paul X $50 where?

Jazzandmetal as of today 58 for the "silver" on Amazon. I'd recommend looking into gouletpens.com (I've made about 5 orders from them by now and they are outstanding, and watching Brian's Goulet Q&As if you're just getting into fountain pens before you buy your first. Just be mindful this is a cartridge only pen and while cartridges can be refilled they don't last forever. If you have any other questions feel free to ask them.

Paul X thanks for the heads up on the KZfaq channel and store. They didn’t have the regular SS version, and Amazon has the silver aluminum for $50 but not the SS. I found one at Jetpens.com though.

Paul X OMG, on the Amazon Australia website this pen costs $533 AUD + shipping. It costs $170 US plus unknown for shipping to Australia.

MaZEEZaM WOW! that's really a bummer. I hope you can find a better resource or a good substitute. I do apologize if I got your hopes up also, I often forget about other countries then mine (USA) reading my comments. It is human nature I guess to not think too far outside of one's own experiences. Good luck I also recommend TWSBI (pen company's name) they are magnificent value in my experience. I don't know how it works for shipping to Australia but I also really recommend gouletpens.com if the shipping doesn't kill it for you. They are absolutely amazing, if nothing else Brian Goulet's KZfaq videos are really great in my opinion. Be good MaZEEZaM ;!)

I agree, it's a beautiful material for the Liliput. Not quite silver, but storm grey. And combined with the copper clip, it will be even more beautiful I think.

There's an aluminium one, /and/ a stainless one 👍

Like I said, I've been into them, but they're fiddly. Now that I've found one that isn't a diva, though...

I have an aluminum one and definitely find it light.. Ive often been tempted to get a brass or steel one but its hard to justify a second one. If i were to do it over again, i'de get a heavier one.

@@jseden I've read somewhere on the Internet that say the Kaweco liliput aluminum version can be corroded in prolonged contact with Ink, even if the ink is Kaweco's own ink. You have this pen for quite some time, so I want to ask you about this, did this corrosion problem happen to you ? Thanks in advance !

Phạm Thị Quý haven't had any issues with that.. even inside of the cap. I've used blue, black, brown and Ruby ink from kaweco in it I'd never heard of this before and have never really cleaned it out. Inside of the cap is really the only place that gets a little inky

@@jseden thank you so much for the reply !

Maybe the playlists? Are you on the Android?

Fedora fork. You pointed off screen to the left ;o

Ahh, gotcha. Well, they're over there for my screen!

No you can use any standard short ink cartridge, and jetpens.com also has converters for it 😊

Fountain pens aren't cheap, sadly. But they also last a long time, and the cost of refills is very low. $100 plus 87 cent cartridges can be a deal relative to $60 with a series of $10 cartridges.

+Nick Shabazz unfortunately I don't burn though ink that fast.

I'd love to. But alas, if I've got a grand to spend on EDC, it's not going to a pretty pen!

+Nick Shabazz if I wouldn't life in Germany I would sent you one to review.

Hah. My fiancée will be thrilled you're not a bazillionaire. Kind words appreciated!
