Raden is a traditional Japanese decorative craft used for lacquer ware and woodwork. The fountain pen M1000 Starlight is made with particles from the abalone shell which originates in the Japanese Sea. The size of the abalone shell is small, and the colorful parts in the rainbow colors that can be used for this precious fountain pen are particularly limited.

In the production process, the abalone shell is placed on the ground and flattened with a hard stone into very thin sheets. These sheets are cut into narrow strips and then affixed to the coating of lacquer around the cap and the barrel of the M1000 fountain pen. Afterward, the fountain pen is once again coated with lacquer, and then the surface is polished. With the Maki-e technique the artist individually signs and numbers each fountain pen.

In 1929, Pelikan registered the patent for the piston mechanism, a new fountain pen filling system. This technique, refined and updated, is still used today. The M1000 is ideal for people who write a lot as it has the biggest ink capacity of any piston fountain pen in the market today. The Pelikan fountain pens M1000 Starlight are masterpieces with finely -chased 18 carat gold nibs in the size M, accentuated with a rhodium décor.

Each fountain pen is encased in a traditional Japanese gift box which is made of Paulownia wood.

I am sad that I am not a millionaire, because this line of fountain pens is more beautiful than any other I have seen.

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

These raden editions are amazing. I wonder if Pelikan would ever think about other sizes (a raden m800?)

Indeed a stunning pen

What bothers me is that basic Japanese technics and craftmanship is combined in a European style pen with a European Nib.

Rationally seen , of course no problem but a bit of a contradiction.

I would rather buy a raden pen with a japanese nib , Sailor or Nakaya.

They actually made the earlier Radens in M800 size as well.

Beautiful pen. But at $2500+ USD I will never own one.

For those who care about matching pen and ink, what are your ink suggestions?

How will you ever get any writing done? I would just sit stupidly looking at this beauty and drooling, because my mouth would no longer work to talk with.

 

All but a couple of my pens are ugly ducklings that only become graceful swans when their beaks touch the water and a rainbow of beauty flows out onto the calm, smooth sheet of paper. Different strokes...

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

That pretty much sums up my day today! :D But don't worry: I am a writer, not a collector. This one will get some serious mileage.

That's good to hear. Our last local pen club meeting subject was Pelikans, so you would have fit right in - and been the star of the show with this beauty!

I adore this stunning pen.Great sutle look and a winner against the previous raden

I tested 2 nibs at la couronne with M nib

And none of these nibs could convince me

The OB nib was quite a skipper as well

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
