Review Title: Too dry

Review Add on: 16-04-2025
Average Rating: (3)

The pen looks way better in the picture. The real pen doesn't have as much of a blurry plastic, which makes it look a bit boring.
The threads, the seal and the build in general are five stars.

My biggest problem with this pen is that it is too dry, even with the seal open. I'm not a pen specialist, but it feels as if the feed couldn't keep up with the nib flow.

I was, in fact, seriously considering getting this pen returned until I realised that using wetter inks (like Herbin's scented ink) would address the problem.

Review Title: Opus 88 Koloro #5 nib

Good writing experience. Smooth. The Koloro feels premium, the cap in particular. Same as Omar or Jazz but not oversized.
Be carefull, it's a # 5 nib. It does not feet the parallel nib. 1.4 stub available.

Opus 88 Koloro Blue Fountain pen

Author: Tiago Pires

Review Add on: 30-12-2023
Average Rating: (5)

Attractive pen, made of a mix of beautiful blue acrylic with some ebonite pieces. The translucent resin provides a window into the ink reservoir, which, even against the light, can a bit hard to see with this dark blue.

It has a comfortable warmth in the hand. The section is smooth but not slippery. It's similar in length to a Lamy Safari but girthier. Not overly heavy, making it balanced for long writing sessions.

The eyedropper mechanism allows for a lot of ink, but I find it hard to know when and how much to open or close the shutdown valve. If you let the ink run out in the barrel, it will take some effort to get it to flow again.

I've tried the nib and feed that came with the pen briefly, and it was a pleasant, smooth nib, without any skips. However, I soon replaced it with a custom-made gold JoWo nib, modified to flex, which is my favorite nib, so maybe that makes me biased towards this pen.

Overall, a very good buy.
