− | Negli anni '60 la ditta introdusse il modello [[Honest-60]], uno dei primi in Giappone ad essere dotato di un pratico e funzionale [[caricamento a cartuccia]]. Altre penne dello stesso periodo vennero realizzate con un particolare rivestimento in pelle di pecora. Per competere con la [[Capless]] della [[Pilot]] venne creata la [[Platinum Knock]] che ebbe però uno scarso successo e vita molto breve. Altri modelli di lusso, denominati [[Platinum Platinum]] erano realizzati con pennino in platino e corpo in argento con lavori ad intreccio.

Other pens in the same period were built with a special sheepskin coating. To compete with the [[Pilot]] [[Capless]] was created the [[Platinum Knock]] model which however had limited success and very short life. Other luxury models, called [[Platinum Platinum]] were made with platinum nibs and silver body works to weave. |
