After much saving, several sold pens, and a lot of wringing my hands with indecision...I've done it. I just plunked down the most (by far) I've ever paid for a pen.

 

A Homo Sapiens Bronze age Medium nib. Now it's in Bryant's hands, for my least favorite part of the process...the waiting.

 

Just over the last 2 days I've spent hours deciding between Bronze or Steel, Medium nib or stub. I finally went with medium because if I'm spending that much on a pen, I don't want to ALWAYS HAVE to write with a stub.

I had a pen arrive today, don't worry it'll be over soon.

Congrats on your purchase. I've ogled that pen, but there's no way I'd be dropping that kind of cash for at least 5-10 years.

 

Hope you're satisfied with it when it comes. Any pen that fulfills you in that way is worth the wait.

Congrats on your purchase! Hope the wait is not too stressful, I love mine. They do write a bit wet and wide so for every day writing the Med would be better than the stub. I got mine in a fine nib.

Congratulations on your pen! I don't know what kind of wait you're talking about, but I remember when I ordered my one Nakaya, I would try my best not to obsess about it. I obsessed about it anyway.

Well, I bought it from Bryant, and the previous 2 pens I got from him took 2 days. So I might have it Saturday...if not, then Monday. Not a huge wait, but when you drop that kind of coin on a toy, I want it NOW.

I have the HS Bronze with a medium nib. I love this pen, though I typically write either with XF/F or CI nibs. The medium nib is wet and a delight to use. Some people say these nibs are flexy, but I strongly advise against flexing them. They're somewhat soft-feeling, but definitely not suitable for flexing

Hello, my name is Inigio Montoya

I have purchased a pen

Prepare to write!

The wait was short. My Homo Sapiens got here today.

 

Which begs the question, if Bryant sells the pen, why would I ever go anywhere else. His prices and service are amazing.

Good luck with your new pen! I bought a HS Bronze with a F nib from Bryant, and i agree with the excellent service and prices. Now the real question--what ink will you use in such a great pen? I like to use deep blues and blue-blacks that seem to match the volcanic material.

Kon-Peki was the first to go into it, because I've been using it a lot recently, so it's good for a direct comparison. After that, I think I'll try to pick an ink that could serve as magma. A deep reddish orange, maybe.

+1 All of my experiences purchasing from Bryant have been exemplary.
