Nakaya Decapod Keki-Tamenuri: My First Nakaya

[ethernautrix]

I hope to be able to meet you there! I'm attending Friday and, probably, a bit on Saturday. How does one know that a Pen Posse is occurring?

It's usually loud. We tend to hang out after the show, otherwise, just gathering at some point during a pen show is just, you know, gathering together at a pen show. Fun but without the food. Oh, one sign of Pen Posse: food's involved. Ha ha ha.

 

Maybe we can congregate for lunch on Saturday. It's all very tentative at this point, but, you know, meals are inevitable.

 

I'll be wearing my SF Pen Posse T-shirt. Probably Ricky will be wearing his. You will know us by our shirts!

That doesn't look like "nearly illegible doctor's cursive" to me.

 

I'm glad you are liking the Nakaya - for some reason they seem to get better and better as one uses them.

Believe me. You don't want to see my "other" handwriting!

I'm loving it! I have found that my customized nibs do "get better" with use, although I suspect a large part of the improvement is my accommodating to their unique demands. PB's posting on the "flexible writer" hit the mark for me.

very lovely pen, and the writing looks great. Would make "500 mg of amoxicillin every 8 hours" look glorious and poetic.

Congrats

Congratulations to you from the former owner of that gorgeous Heki-tamenuri Decapod! I loved that pen, but decided I wanted the Heki-tamenuri in the Twist pattern so traded it to CFP. You can be assured the pen you now hold and treasure was well-cared for and used with joy. May you enjoy it for years to come in good health.

 

Thank you, dannyboy! Hmmmm ... make that a double "thank you!"

 

I was having difficulty imagining why anyone would return such a beautiful pen. You have made me feel better about that.

 

So, tell me about the Decapod Twist. Do you love it? Have you reviewed it?

 

David

I love the design of the Twist, the way the lines curve over the pen's body. I got the clipless model because I didn't want anything interfering with the simplicity and subtlety of those curving lines. And I'm always amazed that the lines meet where pen body connects to the cap. So, to answer your question, I think the reason for my change had a lot to do with the Twist's subtle and simple curves. I haven't reviewed the pen because there are already some fine reviews of it.

Hi, dannyboy.

 

The Decapod Twist is an amazing-looking pen, from the photos I've seen. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of the range at the SF Pen Show.

 

Enjoy your Twist! I may adopt a twisted sister for my Decapod one day.

 

Regards,

 

David

Hey, that's good: a twisted sister to go with your Heki-Tamenuri! Enjoy that pen as much as I did!

Beautiful pen. Now you have gotten another doc trying to decide which Nakaya to get. The 'pen fund' is nearly there...

I agree. The pen is beautiful to look at. What words and pictures cannot really communicate is the tactile sensations from the urushi and from the nib as it writes. The combination of Nakaya's pen and John Mottishaw's nib grinding provides a spectacular writing experience.

 

Have fun with your selection of your first Nakaya. I am happy with mine.

I agree about the Nakaya writing experience. The finishes are beautiful, but it is the writing experience which is the reason for my love of Nakaya pens. The added bonus is the overall beauty of the pens.
