The 7 Levels of Fountain Pens (From Cheap to INSANE!)

Every Pen Collector Ends Up Here (And That's When It Finally Makes Sense) You've been there, the hype, the gold nib flex, the three pens you actually ink up... and the twenty seven sitting dry in a drawer. This video breaks down the 7 Levels of Fountain Pens, from a $7 plastic pen that writes better than it has any right to, all the way to a $20,000 hand-painted maki-e Emperor. Discover exactly which level the writing actually stops getting better, the psychology behind every level above it, and how to spot the moment you stop buying a pen and start buying a feeling, a name, or a piece of art. Level four is where the ladder should end for almost everyone who actually cares about writing. Everything past it is costing you thousands for something that has nothing to do with the page.
