Nakaya Decapod Twist - Ao Tamenuri

[Montblanc owner and lover]

When i started to read i thought:" oh it's the green one,i prefer the red version" and seing pictures after pictures i started thinking that the green one was very nice too and now i think that if i had to choose i'd take the green for me too...Thank you for this nice review.

Hm, these pictures really make me reevaluate the decapod twist, which I wrote off a long time ago, as most pictures don't seem to represent them as well as yours do

Utterly beautiful, thanks for sharing those pictures. No 2 on my wish list!

Wonderful pen and stunning photos!
Thanks for sharing!

What a beautiful set of fountain pens. In the best sense of the word, I envy your collection. Is it too much to ask for a picture of them and some hand writing?

Enjoy those beauties and thanks for sharing them

I don't usually post a writing sample because my handwriting lets the side down so badly, but here you go...

The short Danitrio Octagon isn't inked so I haven't included it.

I one on order. My first Nakaya. Your pictures make me even more impatient!!

You chose a great looking pen! I love how softly it curves, it makes the standard decapod look a little harsh. And the cool colors really match the geometric shape well.

 

I now have three Nakaya's on my wishlist: the Naka-Ai Aka-tamenuri, this one and the Naka-Ai Milky Way. Still being a student, it'll probably be years until I'll be able to afford one. Why did I choose something that takes seven years before making any money at all again? (Nah, kidding, being a doctor has been my dream since I was ten.) Maybe if I start saving up right now. Hmm… What are you making me do, FPN?!

WOW! That Danitrio Hakkaku is absolutely stunning. Will probably remain forever in the realms of an aspirational purchase for the likes of myself so thanks for sharing

The review is wonderful, the photography fantastic and the pens simply stunning. I do quite a bit of photography in my profession and want to assure you that your images are very well done and far from ordinary.

Two words: subtly sexy. Great photos, thanks. Definitely love the look of the twisting facets, much more interesting than straight lines, and the color combination.. a real work of art.

 

I can definitely see the allure of Nakaya's.

Very nice indeed

Problem is that lead times for the basic models is going up to at least 9 months nows

I have 3 Nakayas in backorder since November 2013

Patience is nice vertue

Thanks again for all your kind comments - they're very much appreciated!

I may never own one but I can at least write vicariously through lovely little videos like this: http://slashwhatever.com/nakaya-naka-ai-fountain-pen/

Very good review & photos. I have a decapod, now I think at a twist one.
