That is stunning!

 

 

Wow...

 

 

Hmm.... This is usually where the Nakaya Intervention kicks in. I look at my Nakayas, I write with any one of them, the greed for other pens dissolves. It's not working! *Panic*

I hope that Bryan and Ernest keep with it. The Morgan, Pearl and Mina, with the cap that blends into the body, match up with the aesthetics of Japanese urushi work perfectly.

 

I am looking forward to seeing more!

Jim, if you go to the Edison Pen web site, there is an area on the left side of the home screen that will open the page for urushi pens. On that page, you will find a contact link for Ernest. He does custom work. I am thinking about sending him a project myself.

Yeah, just shoot Ernest an email about what you want. He worked with me for a few months trying to find the right pen. Similar level of customer service that Brian offers. These two are a perfect match.

I thought it was a limited edition.
Nope, not a special edition. Ernest offers many choices...many many.

This one was ebonite.

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
Actually Ernest lives in Jersey :)

That's awesome. I want to learn how to do that. I've even got an ebonite pen to practice on. It's a ratnam, but still.... anybody know where I can buy the paint stuff for this? :P

What's funny is during my search I actually considered a Ratnam or Guider.

Okay, you got me to look at the Edison page. God, I would love one of those Herald Grande pens.
The Herald Grande has, IMHO, the most natural grip. It just feels right in the hand. Now I know why two of the artists here, Watch_Art and Stevlight, use them.

jim,

Ernest Shin, an FPN member, who did this beautiful urushi wrok has a website: http://www.hakuminurushi.com/

He's doing quite a bit of collaboration with Brian at Edison Pen. My understanding is, though, he also does urushi work on vintage pens. His website will give you the details.

 

I've got an urushi Edison in the works. Expected delivery is several weeks away. Last pen of the year for moi!

uh... this paint you refer to is called lacquer work. happyberet.gif You can read up on the website above or check out this post here.

...and a pen that's comfortable in the hand.—moi

Nice, except I've just heard Nakaya have had a request from Pen Zen International Intervention Inc to reserve it for you in your next life :P

      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
