Fountain Pen Shootout Pilot Decimo vs. Pilot Vanishing Point
Let’s compare two very similar, retractable nib pens.
Fountain Pen Shootout Opus88 Koloro vs. Opus88 Koloro Demonstrator
Let’s compare two pens with the same cool filling system by the same brand. The Koloro was sent to me by Pen Chalet; the Demonstrator was sent to me by Goldspot – thanks a lot! You can check out the full reviews of these pens, if you like: Opus88 Koloro and Opus88 Koloro Demonstrator.

Let’s see how these three nibs fare face-to-face.
Fountain Pen Shootout #77: OMAS 360 Magnum vs. OMAS 360 Vintage

Fountain Pen Shootout #76: Sailor King of Pen vs. Classic Pens LB5
Time to compare the ebonite King of Pen and the Classic Pens LB5. This comparison makes a lot of sense, because the LB5 is based on the King of Pen.
