I'm finally getting around to taking some pictures of my pen collection. A friend gifted me this pen and I thought I'd share some pictures. It's gorgeous. It feels so nice in hand. I believe the lacquerwork is done by hand but the crane is screenprinted on.

Flickr album here. My M100 is lurking.

 

The pen case is from Japanesehandmaden on etsy and it's made of vintage kimono silk. Happy that FPGeeks pointed that out :D. The nib is 14K fine.

 

Some more information I found on this pen:

Beautiful pen, thank you for the pictures! Is the nib a little flexible like the Falcon?

I've never tried a Falcon so I'm not sure what that feels like. The nib does have a little give like the Pilot Vanishing Point nib but leans more towards writing like a nail.

I've this one too, love the simple design, the weight of the pen, and simple cap, great for work on the go. Miné's a fine nib and is a nail. Wish I could find it in a broad nib....i recall seeing a few of these series awhile ago, in other motifs, but can't seem to do so again. Any ideas where one might find them/ name of the collection?

      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
