## Description

"The letter express writer's emotion" This is true. When you are in happiness, sadness, joyful... obviously it is different. ELABO's magical softness is able to express more accurate. Why ELABO is able to do ? ELABO born at 1978, for writing Japanese letter beautifully. For that, it is needed to write fineness baseline as like "FUDE" (Japanese traditional brush). Soft touch nib is suitable for this, but this pen can emphasize more strength and weakness. And surprisingly, this pen is equipped with toughness at same. Normally, soft touch nib is weaken by strong pressure. But ELABO can be endured by this. Sometimes feel vibration like spring. Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy. Fantastic. The shape of nib is strange also. Features Of course, the nib is special for "ELABO". The center of nib rises. Very interesting. This pen adopt resin body. Resin is light, so easy to use. "TOME", "HARAI", would you like to decorate your letter? Equipped accessories : Gift box with converter and 1 black ink cartridge.

Review: Super duper elegant pen--what a deal! - Quick shipment with great price. V nicely packed and protected--ink cartridge and converter. Exquisitely well made pen, wonderful nib-- smooth, very fine line (soft EF) that is expressive and wonderful to use. Smaller than I expected, but the compact size works very nicely. Very high quality, obvious from the smooth elegant finish. I am super pleased-- look forward to learning the characteristics of the nib--not a flex/ultraflex-- but great variation in line width and quality with a very elegant expressive effect. Wow--- my best pen ever.
Review: Soft, wonderful writer - Even if I like more broad and double broad nibs, I'm extremely pleased with the Falcon soft extra-fine nib, there's a gentle softness in the writing, indeed, that makes even the ultra-sharp EF Japanese nib (Finer than European and American nibs) glide cheerfully over the paper, there is a very perceptible feedback, but a peasant one. I bought this pen for its flexing abilities and it does give a significant amount of flex, from extra sharp EF to beyond broad, but its not a soft flex, it requires a certain amount of preassure and control, suitable for callygraphy but not to get much line variation in your daily writing. I learned after the fact that the FA nib is softer than the Falcon and more suited to get flex in your everyday writing; none the less, I'm delighted with the purchase, it's one of my favorite fountain pens, an extra-fine really sharp point that I don't think I would like without the bouncy softness of this model, and I do not only like it, I enjoy it a lot, it's soft and super precise. Highly recommended, but if you want to make this investment for a flex experience, you better go for an FA nib; the custom 742 has the FA option; it's a gorgeous pen, marvelously constructed, an incredible writer, and more budget-friendly than the other FA nib options currently offered by Pilot.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Writes within a hairline to medium point
*by Y***N on April 9, 2026*

I got the SOFT EXTRA FINE point. It is completely opposite to my expectation. I expected that it should work well in English alphabets and should fail in Asian characters. However, it turns to be the opposite. The line variation cannot compete with some vintage flex nibs. 1) It has a great line variation. 2) It can easily reach to a hairline stroke compared to the Pilot PO nib. 3) The ink flow is smooth and constant. To me, it is not the ideal pen for writing the copperplate calligraphy because it cannot write wide strokes. However, it is a great pen if somene prefers extra fine nibs. This pen gives a great line variation between a real hairline (even finer than Pilot PO or Platinum UEF nibs) to medium point, while giving a very smooth ink flow. To me, it is a show-off of Pilot product. I enjoyed the SEF nib very much.
