Kickstarter: Namisu - Nova With Titanium Ef Nib . . .

[Tas]

It's VERY similar in both length and girth to a Jinhao 159, perhaps a tad thinner but a load nicer to hold.

Thank you so much for the review!

I've been thinking so much about getting one of these, and now I regret not going for it . Maybe in the next round!

You loony. I was sure you'd have ordered one.

A machined aluminium pen for £53 and one that looks like this, with a STUNNING Bock Ti nib. Madness not to.

 

Next time.

Exact same combo on the way. Price different being shipping. I have been looking at similar design pens from Nakaya and Edison for a while but didn't due to the price.

 

If this is as half as good as the OP says it is, will keep me happy for a while (might be the only pen I buy this year as well, well atleast for myself).

I've visited the site a couple times, but I could manage to resist somehow

But now I see people getting them and I do feel like a loony...Hahaha!

 

Unfortunately the only VHS I have is only jealous for the DVDs, but even those get ignored nowadays.....

You'll love it.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts when it's delivered.

If you have this pen, could you please post a picture of it with some other pens close by for comparison. And possible also a picture of the pen in your hand in "writing position"? Thanks a lot.

 

Here it is next to a Jinhao 159 and a Lamy Vista:

I didn't get a tracking number either - I don't think anyone did! The last Kickstarter update said to allow up to 15 days for delivery to places outside the US and Europe. My pen hasn't arrived either - but it's only been a week...

[Andrea_R]

Mine hasn't arrived either, and it was received by the royal mail a week ago

[Feanaaro]

Thanks for the pic Talby.

I had got both the Nexus and the Orion, and in both cases the standard shipping was not tracked. For a while you could get tracked shipping for an extra cost, but that does not seem to apply to their kickstarter campaigns.

[LostInBrittany]

I received it last Saturday. Or I should say I received them, as I had chosen an extra, a titanium one (with titanium F nib) and an aluminium one.

They are pretty, really beautiful, and the titanium one (the only I've tested yet) writes like a charm.

 

Here you have it near my Namisu Nexus (also in titanium, I love titanium ).

And here it's alone, showing off its beauty

It reminds me of a Nakaya Piccolo Titanium (the pen I'll buy the day I will be able to spend so much in a pen), without being a copycat.

I think it's going to be an everyday-carry for me...

Thank you for your reply. I was received on February 3, Namisu mail delivery. To date had not received pen. I feel so helpless.

I sympathise - it surely wouldn't be *that* hard to offer tracking as a feature (even if we had to pay extra for it). Without it, we just have to wait... That said, given the earlier shipping date of your pen, if it doesn't arrive soon, I would be contacting Namisu to ask them if they can find out what's happened.

And here are pens I got yesterday!

Yum !

[Lam1]

Gorgeous pen! I had never seen one before today... But now it is at the top of my (huge) wish list. If only I could decide between the gold stub nib and the titanium one.

Am I correct to think that the nibs are easily swapped? If so, is it easy to find spare titanium nibs?

how are they... based on initial impression of my friend... the grip section is slippery... nib is just okay...

 

can u share your experience please
