Family Shots

[simon73]

I've been fortunate to receive a brace of new Nakayas in recent weeks - the Portable Writer and the Shiro Tamenuri Long Piccolo, so felt the need to take a family photo.

 

I asked my son which he preferred and he told me the Shiro Tamenuri Long Piccolo, which is the newest of them all. "Good choice," said I. "Mind you, I would have said that whichever one you'd picked." Off toddled my son, aged 10, looking slightly bemused...

 

I think my favourite for longer writing sessions is the Portable Writer - it's slightly lighter and smaller than the others, though still a full-sized pen.

 

The factory stub, from a broad, on the Shiro Tamenuri has no discernible line variation that I can detect. It is a really smooth writer though - the smoothest of them all - and seems like a western fine/medium to my hand and eyes.

Thank you!

That last one has a certain sexiness to it.

[simon73]

I agree!

 

Which one though?

[Charmian]

Gorgeous photo. Gorgeous looking pens.

 

If I was your son and you asked me which one I prefer, I'd say the Shiro Tamenuri at the first instance. The uniform black, matte body with that shape is really something.

 

The longer I look at your other pens, the more I like them too!

 

Thank you for sharing!

[KBeezie]

I agree!

 

Which one though?

 

... The "Last" One, which is obviously the matte black one that shows up last on both pictures.
