Not using - but - recently bought a Nakaya Urushi Portable Size Fountain Pen in the Aka-tamenuri (Reddish Red) color. It has a fine nib and uses a Platinum converter. Have not inked it yet even though it was used. I bought it from Nibs.com. It is a spectacular piece.

 

Anybody have one of these? Comments - criticisms? :thumbup:

 

I have the Piccolo writer version of your pen, also with F nib--no criticisms! It's beautiful, I love the finish, the way it handles and writes. If you are used to very wet writers, you might feel a difference there. This is no problem for me, and find like many pens differences in flow based on different inks. The Platinum ink cartridge was for me on the wet side compared to many of my Noodler's inks. You'll love your pen!!

 

Today I'm using a champagne pink Decimo, F nib with PR Black Magic Blue, and a Yard-o-Led Retro BP with a Visconti black F gel refill. Happy writing!

 

 

Sharkle - I'm on a bit of buying binge. Montblanc - Nakaya - now I want a Pelikan M1000. Do you think the Nakaya line will have good resale down the road as my tastes swing from one brand to the other? I'm currently on a strategy of selling off my less expensive pens and financing a more expensive collection. Any recommendations on very good writers with high resale values. Good investment pens in the $300-$600 range?

 

Thank you for your feedback on the Nakaya - I hope to ink it soon. Will let you know what performance I get.

 

Very Best,

After years of dissatisfied use of two Mont Blancs [the most overrated pens around], I rediscovered Pelikan [Pelikan instruments were the favorites of the draftsmen from my engineering days decades ago]. My Souveran M400 is a wonderful writing instrument.

Sheaffer Snorkel with "F6" open Pd/Ag nib, filled with Waterman's Havana Brown. Excellent fine point, it sat for weeks without use and started right up.

Also Platinum "Preppy"-based ED pen filled with Legal Lapis.

Today I'm using an Evergreen Viola that I bought from a Korean University bookstore. I bought it to compare how it writes with our Zebra Sarasa pens

http://www.jetpens.com/advanced_search_res...amp;x=0&y=0 from Japan. It's very similar in shape and function, and it's a 0.4 mm tip.

 

So far I like it! I guess if it passes the test drive, we'll put it on our non urgent list of things to bring in.

I just received a prussian blue Waterman Carene Deluxe with an F nib in the mail today, and used it to take my graph theory final exam. It made the exam a much happier experience ^_^ I think this baby is my new "pet" pen.

Today I wrote with my Waterman Phileas with Noodler's Blue-Black, as I did yesterday. I wrote in my wife's card celebrating our 15th anniversary! Great pen, but an even better card!

The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common

sense tells us that our existence is but a brief

crack of light between two eternities of darkness.
