All that I can say is

How much is this worth ?
Where can a rich man get this gorgeous pen ?

WOW! This is a stunning pen. The clip is particularly clever. I have not seen this one before, but I covet it now.

very nice pen. I do like the looks, and would love to see the nib better. At 77pcs this is a very limited edition, a true limited edition from MB. I also like the clip, and would rather have seen a more pronounced Katana shape, but understand that might be hard to clip into your pocket.

Cheers,

According to fleaBay about $40,000 US.

mmmmmmmmm $40,000

The price in germany is 16.400 Euro
The price of 40,000 $ is very positiv!

So the author of _The Book of Five Rings_ has a pen with five 0s in the pricetag...makes sense. I like the clip, but those diamonds look odd.

Oh, the kanji in the nib means "samurai".

Does anyone know what is the significance of those characters on the pen or what they mean? It's a gorgeous looking pen.

it is the chapters of his book of 5 rings.

earth, fire, water, air and void.

I agree about the diamonds, but then it would be hard to put a 40k price tag on it without it...
I also really like the sword clip, very cool...

Wow, I am drooling at the mouth , that is a stunning pen. It looks so simple yet it is just simply not so. Congratulations on a stunning pen.

Plus it would wreck havoc and cutting through your shirt pockets!
