My replacement fude de mann just arrived from. Amazon. So impressed it was cheaper than when I bought my first one and arrived in just a couple of days. A few days ago, I went to use my fude de mann sailor for the first time after lending it to my daughter, and found the ink wasn’t flowing and it wasn’t writing as well as normal. Looking closer I realised that my fude mann tip was split! I was able to bend it back a bit but it seems to be still skipped when writing.
Here some comparison photos to show what it looks like when it is and isn’t working…
I feel like the new one is better then when I first got my first one. The fine lines are much finer and I don’t even need to turn it upside down I can do it just by changing the angle. The new one writes so smoothly where as the old broken ok I had to rewrite every letter 3x and could only get thick lines.
