Another batch of pen cleaning. A couple of these were very stubborn, too.

I had trouble getting Colorverse Supergiant out of the red one. That was the same ink I had trouble cleaning out of a pen a few days ago. This one was even worse. I almost couldn't pull out the feed, I had to flush it a bit to get even that to move. And cleaning the converter was a PITA, too.

I swapped the nibs (M and F) from the blue and red Kakuno Family pens with the CM nibs from my Metros.

Photo of four disassembled fountain pens on a paper towel. Next to the pens is a disassembled clear bulb syringe, a spring-loaded converter syringe, and a bit of rubber.  The four fountain pens are all Pilot Kakunos, two are clear with EF nibs. One is transparent blue, and the last one is transparent red. Each pen is separated out completely: Cap, body, converter, section, feed, and nib all separate and grouped.
