I've had my eye on this pen for a long time (thanks Reddit, haha), and I've wanted to try iroshizuku inks too. Found both for a decent discount, so finally pulled the trigger ๐Ÿ˜

Mine is still as secure as when I bought it. It's only been about a year at this point though. It's an all metal latching system though that uses a spring steel split lock esque washer. If that washer were to ever get warped it'd be easy to replace though as it gets removed when you unscrew the feed. The mechanism on the cap is just angled metal as well. It'd take a lot to wear it down I think.
