Have you looked on the forums here for a pen meetup near you? You might be surprised to find one (or several), depending on where you are. Someone might be willing to bring a Nakaya for you to hold.

Get one of these...

 

-Nakaya Deskpen in Basic Black urushi (cheapest urushi nakaya set- up you can get and very substantial well- balanced pen)

-17mm Portable Cigar (quite wide, long section)

-Decapod Twist (more conventional size, but I prefer the other two)

 

I would avoid the Piccolo as it is very tiny and you may wonder what all the Nakaya fuss is about.

Oh wow. More pictures of that 17mm cigar. I was unsure about the color and was leaning towards aka-tamenuri but now I feel all conflicted. I wish nibs.com had a kuro-tamenuri version

I don't know. To me the Kuro-tamenuri looks a bit gory. I was thinking of getting the Aka-tamenuri version of it though- theres a nice review of it over on fpgeeks.com. I think by the person who commissioned it.

 

The Ao-tamenuri's already discontinued.

      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
