On Ujuku's website, he says that Sailor is willing to make custom colors of Sailor pens as long as the order is $5000.00. If we order Professional Gears at $215 each, then we would only need about 24 people to get it done. Do you think it's do-able on this board?

I really really want that snow white color. Oh so beautiful and very unisex.

As Fateh says, we need to agree on a colour/shade etc - and I'm sure the price is a minimum just for the cap and barrel. If you want different colour blind caps and bottoms, section, trim etc then the price is sure to rise!

 

Another consideration is to the shape/size of the pen - Pro Gear/Mini/Sapporo/1911 large/medium etc

 

AND, it is going to require a brave and tolerant soul to collect all the cash, ship the pens out once they are recieved and be the interface point with Yamada-san. This is a bit responsibility and I'm sure will come with some considerable headache!!!

 

Maybe a workable solution it to ask Yamada-san is he will be the shipper/coordinater then the price will be pen cost + shipping from Japan as I'm sure people all over the world will want one.

 

Whatever the outcome, you can count me in!

It sounds reasonable to me!

I don't think it would be difficult to find enough people to join. I'd certainly participate!

I'm in. Sounds like a poll is in order. I do like the idea of a "first option to 24 votes" method of choosing the color.

 

Regards, greg

Don't feel bad. I'm old; I'm meh about most things.

I e-mailed him to ask for the color chart available just so we can get some voting started.

I think it was a joke.

I vote for BLACK! B)

 

Aren't Professional Gears already available in black?

 

Almost exclusively. I was kidding...

Now black with black trim and a black nib... :puddle:

 

maybe a Sapporo for those with smaller hands

 

My only hesitation for getting a non 21k pen is that the cost is half and we'd need twice the number of people to meet the price requirement (unless people are willing to pay double the normal price for a Sapporo with a 14k nib)!

 

How about a 21kt Pro Gear Mini? That may solve both requirements?

I think the pen should be average in size, otherwise those of us with large hands may not be able to join in.

      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
