WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW! OMG! And did I say WOW? I'm lost for words at the minute. Both with the pen and the import costs! ha. I also had the Snowflower converter as well. Just filled it with my favourite ink, Tsuki-yo. I went for a medium nib as I was worried the fine may be too fine. I could have been wrong. LOL. However the nib just feels great and 'sings' across my Design-Y notebook so well. OMG I am in pen heaven. Heki-tamenuri? I thought the Brown would be thicker than it is over the Green, and there is one little 'blob' of Brown on the pen which is a slight disappointment to me, BUT I have to realise it is hand made. Oh yeah, and the nib is not perfectly lined up with the 'fin' either! now i am being anal I know. Enjoy! Im off to write more with it.

So...I was doing my favorite pastime of looking at urushi fountain pen pics when I came upon this little gem of a review: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/149661-my-new-danitrio-and-nakaya/ Sooo pretty, I thought to myself. But if only the Danitrio on the left had a heki-tamenuri finish too...that's my favorite color combo by far. Then I thought, hey, Danitrio takes custom orders, right? Can they do one like that? Has anyone tried? Wouldn't a Short Octagaon in heki-tamenuri be absolutely gorgeous, with the green showing up on the edges against the brown? But then why isn't it one of the default options on the nibs.com page? http://www.nibs.com/danitrio-sho-hakkaku.html (Though the ki-dame is plenty magnificent as well.) Just a silly question. Wondering if anyone else knew the answer. (I could email nibs.com, but I'm actually saving up for something at the moment and don't want to be tempted by their very friendly service into buying another pen. Heh.)
