- My first italicReview by David
-
This was a good choice on two counts:
Pilot has a good reputation as a brand name.
I didn't think that I could go wrong getting my first italic for under $20 (US).
This Pilot Double Broad is, to all intents and purposes, an italic.
I learned that I like the feel and look of an italic and now I can do some exploring on the next price tier.

These little Jewels work flawlessly with cartridges (Namiki) or the provided squeeze converter.
The BB nib is perhaps a bit wider than 1.1 mm. I have several of the B nibs in the same model and they also also work flawlessly.
The threaded cap is a plus.

- I ordered one B and three BB mined pens. All wrote excellently right out of the box. The B is more like a fine italic and the BB more like a medium italic. I like a 'crisper' italic. And these really fit the bill - the horizontal strokes are very fine without any skipping, which gives the writing a very nice look (especially with the BB, and although the BB is what I call 'crisp' there is no scratchiness whatsoever, at least in the four I bought.
