Stationery Review 199 - Pilot Explorer Pink Fountain Pen with Fine Nib (ZAR 400)

Hi Friends,

I requested Sandton Stationery and Print Shop to get me the Pilot Explorer, and they gifted me the same. I wanted this plastic metallic pink colour based on Drew's recommendation from Goulet Pens. He later left the Goulet Pens and now runs his own channel and works at another shop. I really loved this Pink colour as I never had one in this body colour. This pen looks like the V5 and V7 from the Pilot Pen Range. Really comfortable and fine nib is definitely a great one. I had never written with the fine nib earlier, and I totally loved the same. 

Pilot Explorer is made from plastic and coated with metallic paint on the body. It's really lightweight and only around 15 grams. The pen can take both the ink converter and the ink cartridges. I have inserted the ink converter in this one and filled the same with the Karkos Hot Pink ink to match the ink colour. 

The pen is around ZAR 400 and is available in multiple metallic coloured bodies. Feels perfect for the long writing sessions and comfortable to carry around in your backpack. This is for the students who want something great-looking and not fully venturing into the heavier metal body fountain pens. 

The fine nib in this pen is almost similar to the one in the Pilot Kakuno, and writing with this one also felt like gliding on the paper. Go for it from Sandton Stationery & Print shop in Sandton City Mall.

Stationery Review 198 - Pilot Kakuno Clear Demonstrator Fountain Pen Fine Nib (ZAR 250)

Hi Friends, 

I bought this Maido in a box, DX volume 19, just because it had a fountain pen named Pilot Kakuno. The price of the box made this deal good, but I could have saved some money if I had bought this pen directly from Sandton Stationery & Print Shop in Sandton City. Check it out! 

Pilot Kakuno we have got is a nice fountain pen in a glossy, clear demonstrator version. The same came with a Con-40 ink converter as well in the Maido box. We will be using the converter for the next pen. For this one, I used the normal black ink cartridge that came along with the same as well inside the package. 

The pen is really lightweight and made for first-time users or when they want to buy their first fountain pen. It's similar to the Platinum Preppy fountain pen, which is half the price. This is also smaller in size, as showcased in capped and uncapped versions as well. Pilot Kakuno comes in multiple colours and is really popular since its launch date in 2013. Recently, Pilot Pens also launched their new Pilot Kakuno Madoromi series. 

As soon as the ink cartridge was inserted into the pen, the beautiful black ink took over, and the pen glided on the paper in the fine nib. Earlier to this pen, I only had a Pilot Metropolitan in Medium nibs which I bought in all five colours; it was available at the Sandton Stationery & Print shop in Sandton City Mall.

Stationery Review 56: Pilot Metropolitan Fountain Pen (M) Nib for ZAR 200

Hi Friends, 

I have been trying to buy this Pilot Range of Fountain Pens for several months now. I even ordered one from Amazon.in for the Jungle Range which has Python, Crocodile, White Tiger etc in the centre part of the design of the body. I went to Sandton City on the weekend and just thought of checking the price of the Pilot Fountain Pens available at the store. They told me that the normal price is R380 and now it's available at only R200. I immediately thought of buying one but the confusion was in the various body colours it's available in. I totally loved all the colours and finally decided on the Red/Rust one as it matched my business card design.

Pilot MR Range of Fountain Pens is the cheapest at Sandton Stationery & Print shop in Sandton City, Johannesburg, South Africa where you can buy all the colours for ZAR 200 each. I have done so and it's a really great fountain pen. The pen writes smoothly and comes with a silicon-type converter or an ink cartridge. They even replaced my silicon converter after it got twisted due to some reason unknown to me. At this price, this is a perfect gift for your teenage kids I also gifted one to my daughter and want to gift it to others as well who love writing with the fountain pens. 

This is the perfect pen to start your fountain pen journey just like I did in my adult life after a gap of many years.
