My 1St Danitrio Mikado


Chi Town

Recommended Posts

Hi, prior to purchasing this pen 2 weeks ago, I have not had any asian pens in my 215 pen stable. However, I do have a Good friend named Doug C. whom does have Nakya's and Danitrio's and showed them to me. I was quite impressed to say the least and just sat on it and thought about it for quite awhile. I also reviewed them here on FPN. And you see, Doug is just what we would not call a collector, he is what we would call a Pen Afficienado. So i trust Doug when he talked about these pens.

 

Back to my pen; It is a Danitrio Mikado in Kuro - Tamenuri that is a clipless model. It has a Factory Flexible Stub Nib that was tuned by Michael Masuyama.

Right now I am just beyond myself with how Beautiful this instrument writes. In my stable of pens this is by far the nicest writing pen that I have!

SIZE 5/5 - When I first seen the pen in the Beautiful box it came in, I thought OMG, I will never be able to write with that humongus thing. But once I picked it up and started writting it was absoutly a treasure to write with. It fits into my stubby fat hands perfectly.

 

Weight 5/5 - Again when you first look at it this gigantic pen you would think it is heavier than a bowling ball. But no such luck. It's a feather in comparision to my Visconti Luigi Einandi which is size wise close to the same size as the Danitrio, but weighs a ton.

 

Nib 5/5 - The nib is comensute with the size of the body of the pen. They did a good job here in not putting a too small nib on a big pen.

Resivoir 5/5 - This baby can load it up! I've been writting for 2 weeks and have not re-filled my Danitrio yet! Pretty impressive in my opinion.

 

Finish 5/5 - Not a flaw in this baby! And I am flat in love with the color. I read somewhere here in these forums that it will take a full 2 years for the color to completly mature.

 

This is my 1st review, and I hope I did an ok job with it.

Gorgeous pen and excellent review! Congrats on the new addition; I hope you can use it to write some letters. :)

A very gorgeous pen and I am still jealous.

One question. Did you consider Nakaya before buying the Dani .

 

Enjoy it as I know you will.

Looks and writes even better in person. Thanks for sharing the unboxing with me Mike. Enjoy using it, you're going to force me to inking my Nakaya Piccolo . That Doug C is a terror for our wallets, he's forced me into a Nakaya, and a C.S. Levi. You've been arm twisted into a Stipula and a Visconti and a C. S. Levi by Doug haven't you? Jim

Thanks for sharing this. They truly are magnificent pens. I owned a red one. Dave

Ha, Ha, Ha Ha yes Jim Doug is tough on our wallets! I think our next plan of action is to get his credit card and go on a pen buying spree, hey? LOL

Nice review Mike, congrats on the pen. Could we see a writing sample?

 

 

Here is your writting sample. I'm sorry for my poor penmanship.

Huge for your size hand has to be 7-8" long and close to 2" in Diameter. I thought the Mikado was genormious. I'm curious to see how much bigger the Genkai is. I thought the Mikado had a #10 nib on it. This nib can't be too much bigger can it? Doug C, you are a bad man. between Mike and I we've run up the Neighborhood debt 1000% . We can't afford for you to tempt us with any more pens. Jim

I believe the Mikado and Genkai use the same nibs?

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
