yes, gold nibs are worth it if you really appreciate them. if you just want a cool looking nib, kaweco makes steel nibs that look like that, but if you really appreciate them, soft, flexible gold nibs (flex for all the calligraphers that use a fountain pen instead of a dip pen for some reason) can definitely be worth it

No no no... You should've chosen Spyderco Salt series knives! They are literally made for nautical applications.

@random_cardist 2 weeks ago

the sailor pen isn't really "crazy" end, it's just $450 and that's a pretty reasonable price for a luxury pen. if you want true "crazy end", although not in the nautical theme, go with maki-e pens, you can pay rolex level money for a pen like that

"Color Wave" what a doooosh!

@bennyboiii1196 1 year ago (edited)

As a former sailor, Myerchin knives were the most common among my crewmates, along with the bulkiest Casio watch you could find.

@krzysztoffolta4823 3 years ago

I absolutely love these comparison videos, can’t wait for more!

@micahsexton4281 3 years ago

Can't believe you didn't choose "open sea leather" for the expensive side

@suspendeddisbelief786 3 years ago

Every once in a while YT algorithm sends one my way that matches the data I feed it and today sir that's you. Thanks for the video, great gift ideas and pickups for myself too. Now looking for a detailed vid on your personal notebook.

@syafiq271 3 years ago

should've went with the spyderco salt series

@luistariba9663 3 years ago

Loving this high-low series!!! please keep going in every color/theam possible really into EDC adn you always get new thing that werent on my radar or other youtubers channels

@ImTheDudeMan471 3 years ago (edited)

Are there any floating key chains for the nautical theme? Bright orange or yellow, so you can see them if dropped in the water. If there aren't, I'm making some.

@zealous_fervor 3 years ago

Every one of these videos should have a Casio watch on the budget side…

I might be biased though, considering my watch collection is almost exclusively Casio lol.

That pinstripe in the wallet is just great, love it!

The marlin on the Casio is just show it’s passed inspection and is approved to be a diving knife. It’s not called a marlin.

New to your channel. Love the way you present the info. Great job 👏 😊

I think the seiko is just fine for recreational diving. I wore one during grad school diving nearly every weekend and never had an issue. 100 meters is over 300 feet and recreational divers are not going that deep.

Personally, I'd have had the FIsher AG-7 or CH-4 as the high end pen, as they, like the Rite in the Rain pens, will write on the paper even when wet. (they are the OEM for the RITR pens, IIRC)
And the AG-7 particularly is very nicely made.
For the budget pen you can hack the Fisher refills to work in that cheapo zebra, or even use them in ANY Parker G2 compatible pen since they include an insert for that if you don't want to spring for a fancy pen.
If you actually intend to write in the rain, a Rotring 600 with the Fisher refill is hard to beat. That knurled grip is perfect for wet hands.

Gold nibs definitely are nicer. They are softer, offer more flex, and given the higher price point are just made to a higher standard. But they are by no means a must have. There are some great steel nibs pens out there, like the Safari. Personally, I think the sweet spot for fountain pens lies at the entry-level gold nib category, you get most of the good stuff and everything beyond is just diminishing returns.
