Finally~ The Pilot Custom Urushi is almost perfectly cloned on the outside by a $25 mystery pen
Комедия
I compare a mysterious, $25 pen with the genuine Pilot Custom Urushi. The results are encouraging. I also show how to improve the nib for an additional $1.50.
As a special bonus, because I forgot to turn off the FILP PICTURE feature when recording the video, you can watch me write backwards. The writing (and everything else) appears the way it would if viewed in a mirror,

LOL! I had the same reaction. And he has a great vid to go with it!😄
Great review. Jinhao makes some decent affordable pens.
Thank you.
Surely, the urushi lacquer itself would have a unique feel in the hand? The green is a nice looking pen, and writes better on your desk blotter. I also think the smaller nib looks better. Thanks for making the video.
I am totally up for a similar experiment. Well done? I found it and placed an order. I actually have extra gold/steel #8 Jinhao Medium nibs on hand that would work perfectly! Thank you!

Can you provide a link? I'd like to get a solid metal pen I buy Chinese pens as well as the real thing.

also looking for the link
When I still did refurbishing reselling, and even collecting pens I limited myself at one point to only dealing with ones from brands that had gems or pearls. Some of these factories in asia with casting machines have precise scanning that can replicate these even better and to the point official stores like Montblanc cannot recognize the difference is terrifying. I have a cup in my kitchen full off a couple that not even FPF or another nib smith in Ireland could tell were off I sourced over a decade ago, I could honestly pass them off and sell them to someone else but I wont. The only territory these people wont cross is when it comes to stones, fastest way to tell if something is off. They will compensate anywhere else with even expensive materials to throw you off.
Hello Gary. I would like to share an annoying fact. I notice that many of my nibs that i already tuned, write smoothly and pleasant but next morning i hear a sound on paper. I wouldn't say it scratchy but a very bad sound. So i tune them again. Do you have an explanation? I feel very disappointed if i have to tune the nibs over and over again. Shouldn't the tuning be permanent?
Hi Gary! This comparison with the Pilot Urushi is very interesting, whose nib does not fear any comparison. I also find the changes you made to the Chinese clone very interesting but I don't understand some things. This clone loosely inspired by the Pilot Urushi should have come to you with a #6 nib marked JD, not by Jinhao. He also has an engraved feather. I find it to be a nib with notable performance, which is why I purchased it. Congratulations on the remarkable collection of fountain pens!
Oof! That’s quite high for a Custom Urushi. Got mine on eBay for 800.
In order to impress some random people from all walks of life, it's better to present them with well recognized shapes, Jinhao x159, 9019 translucent green, could be a solution, they just look awesome.
Nice video. Can you share the temu store .
Is there a reason you didn’t name the other pen

Where do I purchase the clone from??
Don’t take this the wrong way but when I first saw you I thought you were wearing one of those comedy faces, you know with the mustache and glasses.

That comedy face is based on my head. I have earned millions in royalties from people buying glasses frames with mustaches that make them look like me.

Mate the Pilot Custom Urushi is made of ebonite
Why is this video reversed?

Why would you pixalate the pic of Abraham Lincoln, what made that necessary? ????

This was not pixilated. The picture in the video is my framed famous picture, "Lincoln in Dalivision" a 1977 original limited edition lithograph created by Salvador Dalí.

Damn, it didn't work. You recognized him 😆
Even taking into account the possible ebonite case in and gold nib it’s still a rip off price.
