    I just got the Pilot Custom 743 in black with a fine-medium nib. Like you, I had dreamed of the Customr 823, but I really prefer cartridge converter pens over piston fill pens. When I learned the 743 is the same #15 nib with a converter, I was very interested. I knew there were more nib options in Japan, and I wished I could have the nib size between fine and medium; I use 5 mm dot grid notebooks but like to see the ink color. They just released more nib sizes to the U.S. in the black 743 only, so I ordered black . It's the most I've ever spent on one pen. I inked it up hours ago, so nervous I might not like it, and I feel the same way you do: it's perfect! It's ideal! I feel so grateful!!! I really enjoyed your video, thank you.

    • @senancour9
      @senancour9 Před 4 měsíci

      It's not "vertdegris", it's "verdigris". It's spanish. I think so, because the Royal Academy dictionary includes it.

    @yuklimka7251 Před 4 měsíci

    It's so much fun to watch your video. I'm a Pilothead because I love how the nib feels on paper. I have small handwriting, so my comfort zone is EF to MF. I only own one M nib which is a tad too juicy for me as a lefty and a Chinese calligraphy custom grind based on a stock B nib in a Decimo. The 743 is plenty long uncapped in my experience. Many happy writing experiences!
    ETA: Pilot is quite tolerant of high writing angles. I see you hold your pen at a similar angle as I do.

    • @StationeryDumpling
      @StationeryDumpling  Před 3 měsíci

      Oh, I haven't given much thought to my writing angle! That is interesting. I really like Pilots because they seem to be the most consistent with quality and nib on paper experience.

      @@StationeryDumpling I notice this sensitivity to writing angle most when I bring out my Platinum 3776 SF. That pen needs to rest in the web of my hand to perform decently.

    • @StationeryDumpling
      @StationeryDumpling  Před 3 měsíci

      Very interesting. I tend to have to turn my sailor nibs to a certain angle every time to write smoothly. So intriguing how unique the writing experience is for each individual.

    I recently purchased a 743 in black. I chose it over the 823 for ease of cleansing / changing colors and I don’t want to bother with venting the vac on the 823 while writing and remembering to close it back up. This one just seems to be a practical day to day. My pen has a soft medium nib, which had turned out to be a perfect choice for my needs. Also, no complaints. Writes smooth and consistent. It’s one of my best writers. It’s an inspiring pen. Black is fine with me because I appreciate it’s less is more sleek sophisticated and elegant look.

    • @StationeryDumpling
      @StationeryDumpling  Před 3 měsíci

      I wonder how much of a difference there is between the soft medium versus the regular medium. I find Pilot nibs to be soft-leaning already, so I am curious. I love that you love your pen! This model really is one of the best and I can definitely see what you mean by the sophisticated look.

    Qué felicidad encontrar un vídeo nuevo.
    Me ha gustado mucho verte y escuchar cómo te emocionas. Me resultaba contagioso.
    Si, en un futuro, quieres otro plumín Pilot de la talla 15 podrías explorar la posibilidad de la Custom 845. Es más cara que la 743, pero el acabado de ebonita lacada con urushi no te dejará indiferente. También tiene un plumín de oro de 18k.; no sé si esto se notará en la escritura.
    Gracias por alegrarme un ratito de mi día 😊
    P.D.: El dinero, como el tiempo, está para gastarlo en lo que nos da felicidad; no hay mucho que justificar, y menos ante nosotros. Al menos así lo creo yo.

    • @senancour9
      @senancour9 Před 4 měsíci

      Vale, creo que debería disculparme por la recomendación de la 845. En España, la 845 ronda los 500€ y la 743 los 300€; pero en la web de Atlas de USA he visto que la 743 sí tiene un precio parecido, pero la 845 está por 700/800€. No había investigado esa cuestión y no creo (en mi opinión) que a ese precio esté justificada.
      Yo tan solo quería recomendártela porque lo bueno de la ebonita, como material de construcción, es su ligereza; salvando el problema del peso de la 823 que comentabas.
      Perdón por recomendar cosas caras, eso no está bien: los corazones son débiles.

      Wow! Firstly, thank you so much for watching my video. I’m so glad it helped brighten your day ☺️. Secondly, do not apologize for communicating in Spanish!! Google translate is doing a good job translating 😉. If anything, it makes me even happier to see international viewers. That is so cool to me! I can sort of speak two languages, but can only write in one 😂. You’re doing better than me! I actually considered the 845 for a little bit, especially hearing the price increase by Pilot this year. I ended up not getting it because yes, it would have been a big jump for me financially. Maybe one day I’ll be able to test it and hopefully afford it. Or even travel somewhere else to get one! 😄 I appreciate your phrase about money and time being spent on things that bring us happiness. It is a really good philosophy and reminder! Thank you! ☺️❤

      @StationeryDumpling  Před 3 měsíci

      I was also not aware of there being a "sister" pen to the 823 for a while. I think it's a mix of lack of marketing and because everyone raves about the 823 and not as many people talk about the 743.

      Thank you!! Lol, I actually have contemplated that when I got my custom 742. My thinking was that if I get another one, then I won't know what the nib is unless I uncap it. But how likely am I to get another pen of the same color? Pretty low chance haha... For now, the stickers don't bother me, but maybe they will one day when I find I don't need them 😅

    • @snakkomsex
      @snakkomsex Před 4 měsíci +3

      It's a preference thing. She can obviously use and lift an average pen, but some people like lighter and some heavier pens. There is no "right" pen for everyone, but we all have pen qualities that we like or dislike.
      Also: Some people might have loss of strength in their hands because of a disability like rheumatism. In that case strengthening the muscles might be unattainable.

      I nearly gave up on my Pelikan M800 because I was used to lighter pens. And the leap from M2xx/M4xx/M6xx is very noticeable since the first three use plastic piston rods whereas the M8xx and M1xxxx use brass guts. I put my M800 aside for a while. When I picked it up again, it started to grow on me. And now I'm so glad I didn't sell it.
