Pilot Kakuno vs Pilot Acroball

For some reason, fountain pens are really expensive. This one, for beginners, was fairly priced. So, I figured that I could try out a fountain pen without spending alot. The pen is fairly nice, and was easy to install the ink cartridge, even if the instuctions are in Japanese

They write beautifully and the value is great. If you like a smooth ballpoint pen, these are the ones to get.

For me, though, a daily pen needs to be durable but cheap, because I spend a lot of time around machines, taking notes on them. For me, Lamy Safaris or the Pilot Kakuno are my daily drivers. Reliable, cheap, durable, and work well with Noodler's bulletproof inks (so if a random machine blows a hose, or I spill my morning coffee, my notes don't get ruined).

I write for a living so I'm pretty particular about the tools I use to write with - Pilot pens work fabulously no matter what paper I use! I got these pens to review, but I have always been a Pilot fan - so I was delighted to get something I already love to review!
