Kyuseido Kakari FS Titanium
As the first pen ever introduced by Kyuseido, the Kakari draws its inspiration from the brand’s fighting spirit and commitment to design and quality. “Kakari” is the name of a move from the ancient game of Go, usually played in the starting turns as a challenge to the other player. Kakari represents our first move in the stationery world and our indomitable spirit.
The titanium parts on this pen are finished with a machine brushed texture.
How to use the Pump Piston Filler
The rod in the pen can activated by unscrewing the piston knob of the barrel.
There are 3 spokes (or prongs) machined into the rod, which slide into the hooks of the piston head.
By default, the piston head is locked into the end of the barrel to the piston connector with threads.
When locked, the piston head must be unlocked from the barrel by engaging the spokes/prongs into the hooks of the piston head and turning it counter-clockwise.
Once the piston head is freed from the piston connector, it can be pushed along the barrel with the spokes/prongs engaged in the hooks.
Immerse the nib and feed into the ink and pull the rod to draw ink into the barrel of the pen.
Lock the piston head back into the piston connector by gently pulling the piston knob while turning it clockwise. Take care to NOT overtighten the piston head, as it may get stuck and difficult to unlock on the next use.
Disengage the rod from its hook and return it to its original position.
Warnings
We recommend the use of dye based fountain pen inks ONLY. Use of pigmented inks or iron gall inks may leave visible residue inside the clear barrel that cannot be removed.
Shimmer ink can be used, but the shimmer particles can remain in the barrel or leave visible residue around the o-rings. Similarly,
Self disassembly is not officially encouraged and any damage caused by disassembly is not covered under warranty.
Please place your pens on a pen tray or a pen rest when not in use at a desk. While the materials used in the Kyuseido Kakari and the Kyuseido Kosumi lines are of the highest quality, vertical impact may cause damage to the pen. Repairs are possible but will carry a repair fee.
When writing, be sure to unscrew the piston knob in order to allow ink to flow between the barrel and the feed. Ink flow may be constricted when the piston knob is closed.
Please do NOT attempt to self-repair. Always contact your Authorized Retailer first if you are having issues with your Pump Piston Filler.
