Pilot 742 SM + Wingsung 629 +Plumber tap= DEMURE. The failure of Pilot Con70n has reached a consensus. So I migrate Pilot nib to WS629 body, which holds a plethora of 1.5ml of happy juice + LIR. What else more you could expect from a writing instrument? #pilot742 #pilotpen #wingsung #wingsung629

Comrades, I have two findings: Junlai is Discreetly 1. upgrading Steel #9 F/M with Montblanc style grinding (perfect for Asian characters). That gives two grinding styles between #9 Steel F/M and B (ground grinding stub 1.3mm).

Junlai 930 Bergoglio, #9 steel in B only (I had a spare M nib). Limited edition in 2025. Imprint, nib face, clip all aligned. Junlai took the advice and spent 11 working days on this new model, which happend to be released on the same day Pope Leo XIV is elected on 9th May, 2025.

Congratulations Comrade, the new pope Leo is from Chicago, USA. No tariff on pope and more consistent quality from China pens. Amen.

Hongdian T1. Aluminium cutting with dioxided coating.

Before you jumping into JUNLAI 900 Titanium too quickly, check the size of that no.9 thing.
