I have no idea what you are talking about but congratulations (and perhaps a picture so I can get jealous)?

The pen is an Edison Mina Extended and the technique is a Kuro Tamenuri in high gloss polish.

 

Here are some photos:

The clipless Mina Extended is perfectly suited for a urushi treatment. What neat design!

 

Thanks for the pics sjm1123!

 

Still waiting for a thorough review complete with pics and writing sample. :)

 

Cheer and enjoy!

Beautiful pen!

 

Would I be correct in assuming that the nibs of the Edison/Hakumin Urushi pens are interchangeable with those of the regular Edison Pen line (excepting the Mina, of course, which has a smaller nib)?

Yup. All Edison nibs are interchangable except the Mina and Extended Mina.

That is a lovely pen, and a marvelous work of art. It looks like some serious competition for Nakaya and Danitrio.
Yup. To my eye the urushi work on this pen is a little nicer than what i've seen on a previous Nakaya i've owned...but that's just my opinion. Don't want to start a flame war.

Holy smokes, that's an Edison!! Fantastic looking pen. :thumbup:

heraclitus682, I might have to agree with you, from the photos, that's as nice a gloss as any other comparable finish I've seen.

JELL-O, IT'S WHATS FOR DINNER!

I just contacted Ernest about doing something similar to a Herald I have. I think this guy is going to be BIG in the pen world.

Let's see if I've got this figured out. You bought an Extended Mina from Edison Pens, and either you or Edison shipped it to Japan for urishi treatment. I'm assuming you have to have chosen an ebonite material for urishi to be done on. Is that correct? Do you have an contact email to share for the urishi work? I'd like to contact the artist about doing something for me. TIA, Jim

      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
