Fuji Corona & Manufactum… by OHHIRA

Somehow, I think that means they finally sold out of their 0.5s…

And if it’s that popular… perhaps, more will be made?

One can hope. :smile:

Good to know that confirmed.

I do appreciate 0.7 mm, but hardly write with it.

I’ve spent some time writing more with the Blick Premier… and I have to say, the travel has smoothed out a little. One thing I really appreciate is when you knock, the tip doesn’t move at all. Many retractable tip pencils have some movement. The Manufactum does, but it’s quite minor and the travel is so smooth you hardly notice it.

A long time ago Cult Pens told me it was made by the OEM who make Kaweco’s stuff, rather than made by Kaweco themselves.

Yes, kaweco has nothing in common with the old kaweco (except the brand name), which of course had a production.

Wien did the old Kaweco with in-house production capabilities cease?

Not sure, but wasn’t it decades ago, back in the 1980-1990’s that Kaweco went under and then got resurrected?

Recently got a Supra FP. I have to say I’m in love with it. Outstanding F nib that writes generously like an M.

Which means the Liliput must be perfekt as a XF.

I picked up what appears to be the mechanical pencil twin of that ballpoint. Sitting in the Osaka Japan warehouse, but when I finally get it I’ll post better photos.

It’s obviously moderately used, but seller said it’s functional.

That’s what i just received. Mines an “efini”. Mine is all silver though. Here it is next to a Fuji Corona.

It’s a great pencil. One like mine is selling for 85$ on eBay atm. I had never heard of it. I saw it had knurling, then bought it from Japan mercari.
