Isaffer can be regarded as the most unsatisfactory brand among the five famous pens of "Dragon Bird Pai Rhino Water". In 1908, the founder, Seefalian, was the first to invent the inking of the pull bar and registered a patent, and then also invented new inking methods such as vacuum, TD, and submarine, all of which can be completed in one operation. As a benchmark in the ink industry, Cifali was once very popular.
 
Later, in 1920, the Caffoli launched the Lifetime fountain pen, and in 1929, it launched the balance series using celluloid material, which was shaped like a torpedo with a conical tail end, breaking the monotonous design of the fountain pen with only a cylindrical body and a flat top shape, and was the originator of the Montblanc 149, Sille and other torpedo-shaped fountain pens. In 1952, he became famous with submarine pens, as well as PFM in the 50s, Targa in the 70s, and connoisseurs in the 80s...... With so many memorable pencies, not to mention the many duplicate names and reproductions that have been made as simple and crude as a result of their simple and crude naming, Sheaffer's prolific prolific performance over the past 100 years has been incredible.
 
But since it was acquired by BAK in 1999, the quality of Sheaffer has taken a nosedive. Montblanc is backed by the luxury giant Richemont Group, from a high-end pen brand to a higher level of luxury, and Xaffoli was positioned as the "king of cost performance" BAK company acquisition, as a pen brand, but not as valued as the ballpoint pen production line, completely embarked on a stationery brand road that is not known to everyone. In 2008, BAK closed the production plant of Sheaffer in Madison, USA, ending the nearly 100-year history of Cifalier pen manufacturing in the old factory, and moved the assembly and production lines to a third-party factory in China, and other businesses to Slovakia. In 2014, it was sold to Gaoshi, and the products were produced in Dongguan, and the treatment was getting worse and worse.
 
The current Shefael is no longer the real Sheaffer, it can only be regarded as an OEM product. Vacuum, TD, submarine inking structure is troublesome, has been removed from the production line, the pen unified use of low-cost inking device ink, the nib is getting shorter and shorter, the ink is more and more, and there are often rough barrels, ink leakage feedback. Therefore, Caffler products are not recommended at any price point, if you want to collect Cafferix, it is better to go to the second-hand market to find a submarine, experience the wonder of absorbing ink from the tongue suction pipe, and definitely not disappoint.
