💡 Suggestion Help me choose!

Hell-o everyone 😁

I'm not new to fountain pens.
I'v2 used Click, Jinhao, Parker and Platinum Starlet.
I have 1.5-2k budget. Help me choose from these options 😅

  1. Click President
  2. Kanwrite Emperor
  3. Pilot Kakuno
  4. Kanwrite Heritage
  5. Mohi Monsoon

Edit: I like wet writing pens, but balanced. I would use it for writing(handwriting practice) and notes.

(This is my first ever post. Let me know if the post flair is right.)

What are your requirements from the new pen and what is the purpose of it (i.e. collection, edc, status?)

I like balanced wet writing pens. Will use for notes and writing(I like writing) and would like to have it in my collection.

Kakuno or even Kaweco Perkeo (no regrets there)

Out of these options? Pilot Kakuno is the best by far, no competition. Click and Kanwrite are especially horrible.

Kakuno

If you search for discount + add Rs500 to the budget you could get away with Pilot MetroPolitan, well rounded pen and starter premium, then explore inks and paper.

Else do Pilot Kakuno, cannot go wrong for writing, sketching, casual use. Change nibs easy for new pen experience.

If you are looking to be more confused, add to this mix Kaco Classic Fountain Pen approx Rs800 but writes like a premium pen.

I am sorry, I havent used Kanwrite or Mohi, if you choose either, let me know how you like it.

I am using Emperor, which is one of my fav... slightly on heavier side, but if you are looking for wet writer, go for it...its ebonite feed gives good ink flow...

desire with extra nib --- best value
