Another beautiful review! Too bad the pen is such a lemon, because you make it look so nice!

My second fountain pen was a Kuratake 13, and I love it! I’ve been using it daily for more than a year and had no problems with it at all. I’ve used it with Diamine Ancient Copper, Robert Oster Deep Purple, and Organics Studio Santiago’s Sea. The only thing to be careful of is that it will get your fingers inky for the first week or so after a refill. The breather holes are above the brush and they seep for the first seven to ten days.

Thank you for that wonderful review, and for sharing your passions with us! I’ve done product photography in the past, and I know that this post had several hours behind the lens, followed by many more in front of the screen editing. It is all greatly appreciated!
