Hey fountain pen lovers, ink lovers, paper lovers:
I think this is my 2nd pen purchase of the year. I must have that wrong because it’s hard to believe.
I’ve always wanted to try an Opus 88 but haven’t been too attracted to the past designs. When this pink sparkly one came out, I had to get my hands on it. I had my doubts that the shimmer and colour wouldn’t be very pretty. I’m picky when it comes to the type of pink I like. This one doesn’t disappoint me and it is actually a wonderful shade of pink.
Some of you follow me for our similar taste in fountain pens. Well, I think this one is going to be a favourite of mine. Let’s cut to the chase, the nib doesn’t compare to the classic Pilot, Sailor, or Platinum nibs - so don’t get your hopes up. It is a Jowo nib which means it is not a proprietary make. Just like Schmidt nibs, these nibs are purchased or commissioned by pen makers to outfit their pen bodies. I do not have much further knowledge than that though.
This Opus pen though looks stunning. It is a decent writing experience - it does the job.
In this pen video, I unbox, test out some sample pink inks, and then do a writing test.
I hope you enjoy.
