Perfect balance achieved (nib point smoothing) It's been almost 3 years, since i started the fountain pen research. there were mountains of obstacles that prevented me from creating the perfect pen. one of the most difficult has been, achieving the perfect nib point smoothing(polishing). there were numerous attempts and methods that i used to gradually improve the writing feel. until this day, all methods didn't achieve the perfect writing f.. 2021. 4. 8. Ebonite feed (4G v2) so far, eureka ebonite feed had conservative ink feeding amount. this was to prevent over flow accidents, and achieve high stability. previous attempts to increase ink flow while achieving high stability were full of repeated failures. however, today i succeeded increasing ink flow by 40~50%, while achieving high stability. from now on all eureka ebonite feeds are going to be set this way, allow.. 2021. 4. 6. "149 size" nib improved through research through research, previously made "149" type nib has been updated. this is the overall design of the pen (finish: polished chaos texture urushi) the texture has natural feel to it. the texture on the grip section especially improves grip feel. compared to previous version, the engraving is deeper. visibility of the engraving has been much improved. also, different kinds of nib engraving are poss.. 2021. 4. 5. Texture Chaos Urushi Developed previously, a revolutionary chaos urushi technique was developed. chaos urushi is stronger than tamenuri urushi, which was satisfying. however, it still did not meet my requirement. therefore, even stronger urushi technique was needed. with much effort, texture chaos urushi has been realized. this urushi style is beyond anything i've ever created or seen. it's got high level of urushi durability.. 2021. 3. 29. (4G V1) "149" sized nib , (4G V1) ebonite feed developed As there is no longer restriction of size, thanks to the adoption of auag material, a bigger "149" sized auag nib has been developed (4th generation version 1 nib) this development was much postponed due to difficulty in developing a completely different nib. external size of the nib is 26~27mm, weight: 0.9g overall nib thickness increased by 66% thanks to this major update, infinite selection o.. 2021. 3. 29. Brass name plate for the urushi pen rest (under development) as the chaos urushi technique has been completed, all eureka fountainpens will have discrete naming individually from now on. therefore, a method was needed to help buyers remember the pen's special name. a brass plate with engraving on it was the perfect solution, all the while achieving a antique look. wooden pen rest will be coated with thicker type of urushi (below is just a thin type urushi.. 2021. 3. 6.
