Nakaya Titanium Piccolo - A Quick Shot

[quinden]

Hi everyone! I'm hoping to have a review of the Nakaya titanium Piccolo up sometime this weekend; until then, here's a shot of the pen with a writing sample from my Instagram feed.

 

 

Note the stubbed tip - you can see a small amount of gold where John (Mottishaw) ground off a bit of the ruthenium plating to create the stub. It's an amazing writer!

Is this the Nakaya that your old Decapod made way for in the Classifieds? Very nice. I am curious to learn more in your upcoming review---especially the weight. Titanium sounds heavy (and slippery)!

Hi Jadie! The Mini Decapod cleared the way for (possibly) a streamlined Conid Bulkfiller - still waiting on whether or not I squeaked in under the wire to get one. It's heavy, but not slippery; I've been very pleased by that! I've written with it for over half an hour at a stretch, but I do think a period longer than that would be too much for my hand.

Great pen, lovely penmanship! Looking forward to the full review.

[quinden]

Thanks, da vinci!

Oo, I love your handwriting. I wish I could write with italics and stubs. Just cannot. It's my angle... sigh.

Lovely pen and handwriting! I especially like the flourished nature of the t-crossings.

[rudyhou]

very nice penmanship . and yes, nakaya is a dream pen to have.

[quinden]

Thanks, y'all!

It's a sweet pen. The handwritting is beautiful.

Do you call this italic hand?

 

Thanks for sharing.

[quinden]

Thanks, mtrap!

 

It's really just a mishmash of styles. It's a modified version of my normal handwriting, trying to ape the style of better writers than me

 

The style I was taught in school looks a whole lot like something called 'business writing.'

Thanks for sharing. It seems like many of us sometimes ended up creating our own style of writing.

 

Nakaya pens are just amazing. I still like the original Piccolo model best. Although it can be sometimes too short for some people.

I love it the material while cool to me always feels nice in the hand. And John's custom work is like wizardry.

 

I love your writing, i think I've seen it elsewhere and it is spectacular.
