Pilot Kakuno

I loaded it into an EF, and I wouldn't recommend it unless you wanna suffer like I did. Pen is a clear Pilot Kakuno EF I painted.

I've come to the conclusion that the Pilot Kakuno is a near-perfect pen for me. I have three with the medium nib. Aside from those, the only pen I really use is my 1.9mm stub Safari. (If I could magic an ideal pen out of the ether, it would look like the Prera but have the same grip section as the Kakuno and a barrel large enough for a Con-70.).

If you are open to plastic pens, the Pilot Kakuno takes a CON-70, the biggest converter available and might last through two lectures’ worth of note taking. Piston fillers like the TWSBI Eco have a larger ink capacity and should be enough for a day’s worth of lecture note taking. Do remember you can find affordable options for paper and ink. Using fountain pens is like finding a partner, you need to find the right combination that works for you.
