The models shown in this thread are made of ebonite covered with urushi lacquer. The "Tagayasan" Izumo models are made of the "tagayasan" wood covered with synthetic lacquer.

Ahh ok thanks, one of the retailers is confused, stating that all the models were wood. I'm surprised the wood and ebonite pens are such similar weight, Indian Rosewood (more common name than Bombay or iron wood) is fairly dense and heavy.

As I got a query from a FPN member, I thought I would post these pictures with the ruler.

I have the sora-tamenuri (green) in fine and the ironwood glossy in medium. Both are exceptionally smooth writers. There are Very Large Pens that are meant to be used unposted. For anyone who's interested, Goulet has a single aka-tamenuri with a fine nib marked down to an attractive price.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

Chattterley has a green one in medium nib for sale as well. Very good prices from reputable American dealers.

The red is amazing. I love how it comes through. It's so subtle, but very beautiful.

There is also a new Biwatame version. I had one briefly, but it leaked at the junction between section and brass threads and so went back for a refund.

 

Based on prior experience with Nayaya Writers and Platinum 3776 pens, I got it with a broad nib, and found it considerably broader than the others. That is another reason why I decided to return it.

A chart on Nibs.com shows that whilst Japanese medium and fine nibs are indeed one degree finer that the Western standard, this does not apply to broad and double broad nibs which are largely comparable to Western widths.

      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
