UPDATE - Fountain Pen Ink... Felt Tip Pen
Still not clogged, better then most of my disposible Felt Tips already!
These images are the stock images from the Yookers Site... They are better then my images
I got a Yooker Pen as part of their KickStarter. On their site the pen I got would be $52 +S&H
Black Tip Felt Pen
Okay everybody is going $52 for a Felt Tip pen.. Are you crazy!!!
First if you are comparing the Yooker to a Pilot Felt Marker or a disposable artist fineliner pen. I agree with you. Those are around a dozen for $10 on Amazon... But you are comparing them to to wrong type of pen. Closest I can find in quality of the pen is actually a Parker IM, in fact probably Parker 5th is Parker trying to do a refillable Fineliner.
Yes I know MontBlanc makes Fineliners
Yes that is right the main competitors for the Yooker are MontBlanc (a $300ish pen with a $19 refill.. And that is at Amazon US) and Parker 5th, ( a $50ish pen with a $11 refill)
I do not own a MontBlanc Fineliner although I have used one... I think the Montblanc Refill is better then the Parker 5th refill.
I own and use rather regularly a Parker 5th in gunmetal. It is not the amazing pen they bill it as, sorry Parker but your Rollerballs and Fountain Pens are much better.
I have not used the Yooker long enough to know how long it will be before it Clogs and I need to replace the tip. Only had it about a week.
But here are some things I do like:
- Currently the Sections-Nibs are $17
- The Yooker uses Fountain Pen ink
- Short International
- Came with a Cartridge Convertor
- If you want to you can by Private Reserve or Montblanc cartridges for the Yooker
- If you know how to use a convertor with a fountain pen you can use your favorite bottled ink
- It is Very similar in feel to a Parker IM metal body pen...
- The cap is Screw On, it may be in my head but I feel any brush/felt/fineliner pen should be a screw closed cap
Over all
If you are a person who likes Fineliners but wants to lower your plastic waste, and/or likes Fountain Pen ink. I would suggest trying a Yooker, to be honest if you are a fountain pen person but want something less stand outish, Maybe even where hoping the Parker 5th would be a gateway to non-plastic non-disposable FineLiners. Cause the MontBlanc is just too out of budget. Try the Yooker
The Fineliner for the rest of us
