Nikko, Nikko, NIKKO ◆ Saji Pen No. 357 Hard Chrome Engraved with: NIKKO PEN K.K. No. 357 JIS NIKKO MADE IN JAPAN. One of its features is its hard chrome color, which makes it resistant to rust. 20 pieces, unused, free shipping. This is a popular nib, also included in the top 4 recommended and popular ranking of dip pens for penmanship. The name differs depending on the brand: ・Nikko: ◆ Saji Pen ・Tachikawa: ◆ Spoon Pen ・Zebra: ◆ Tama Pen Saji Pen (Spoon Pen nib) is hard and durable, allowing for uniform lines. It is a nib that can write lines with slight variations in thickness (thick lines, thin lines) and uniform thick lines. By laying the nib along the paper, you can create variations in line thickness. It is also used for drawing manga. Regarding the nib manufacturer: LION, famous for office equipment, also manufactured nibs, but they are no longer produced. The manufacturing and sales of nibs were discontinued in 1996 (Heisei 8), more than 20 years ago. Currently, there are three Japanese nib brands on the market: Tachikawa, Nikko, and Zebra. The Nikko brand was succeeded by Tachikawa, so there are only two manufacturers: Tachikawa and Zebra. Nikko nibs are a popular brand, supported by teachers of the Japan Penmanship Study Group. There is also a story that the older ones have better performance. The number of dip pens manufactured around 1985 (Showa 60), during the period of rapid economic growth, was 1 million gross (1 gross is 144 pieces), an astronomical figure, but they were replaced by ballpoint pens in government offices and banks along with the trends of the times. The nibs were made by craftsmen using machines, but it seems that they are still using the machines from that time. I have heard that there are fewer craftsmen like those of the past, and that the skills of the old craftsmen were higher. Also, the chrome-colored nibs show little deterioration and still have the same performance as they did back then. I also enjoy penmanship, and I change nibs depending on what I am writing. Nikko nibs are one of my favorite nibs.
