Pilot Fine Nib Showdown: Steel vs 14K vs 18K (Same Ink, Same Line!)

Hi Y'all! Does a gold nib actually write better than steel — or is it just hype? In this video I compare Pilot's Fine nib across three price points and metal types, all inked with the same Krishna Inks Uni Mumbai ink for a true apples-to-apples baseline: 🖊️ Pilot Kakuno (Steel Fine) — $14 🖊️ Pilot e95s (14K Gold Fine) — $110 🖊️ Pilot Capless/Vanishing Point Fermo (18K Gold Fine) — $160 In this video I look at line width, wetness, smoothness, flex/give, and overall writing feel and whether the price jump is actually worth it. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Intro 01:44 Pilot Kakuno Steel 04:01 Pilot e95s 14K 07:21 Pilot Capless Fermo 18K 09:24 What inks can work? 10:50 Final verdict and ranking 🖋️ Pens used: Pilot Kakuno family series(father) / Pilot madoromi light blue/ Pilot e95s / Pilot Capless Fermo 🖤 Ink used: Krishna Inks Uni Mumbai If you're deciding between a steel or gold nib for your next pen, this should help you decide.
