New Pen Day, dumplings! In this video I’m unboxing the Platinum 3776 Century Celluloid Koi, and yes—it’s as gorgeous in person as it is in photos. I walk you through the whole unboxing experience, the look and feel of the celluloid, and why this pen is such a tempting “treat yourself” pick if you love Japanese pens and pretty materials. I also ink it up (because what’s the point if we don’t write with it?) and share my first impressions as I test it like I do with all my pens. But the real reason you need to watch before buying is the one small feature I wish someone had warned me about. It’s not a dealbreaker for everyone, but it’s the kind of detail that matters a lot once you actually live with the pen—especially if you’re picky about comfort, practicality, or how a pen fits into your daily journaling and planner routine. My takeaway: don’t get blinded by the celluloid beauty (even though I totally get it). Consider the full experience—how it writes, how it functions, and whether that “hidden” feature will bug you long-term before you hit checkout.
