Some Danitrio Love

[jde]

 

My Mae West is probably the most comfortable Dani Trio I have (although they all tend to shrink in your hand when writing).

*Curses!* I'll have to try a Mae West style some day because I believe you guys. Not that I'm impressionable or anything. *ahem*

My tame-murasaki is back from the MikeItWork pen spa. Some dasterly person parading as a fountain pen'ner sprung the nib on my EEF flex! Michael fixed it though and it writes wonderfully again. I don't want to be one of those people who screams, "Don't touch my pen!" Yet could happen. I realize my pens must be supervised, from time to time, even among FPN'ers. Michael also turned my Fellowship RF nib into a Japanese sized EF for me. Sublime. Love having them all back and working!

 

 

Such is my poor photography...must get a real camera! The eggplant-y tame-murasaki hard to capture unless in bright sunlight. Still, here are all my Danis together:

The Cumlaude sports a Platinum #3776 nib! This was a perfect match, IMHO.

Julie, that nib swap (3776 into Dani) is great! I wonder if I could do the same with a Nakaya and an Edison? Hmmmm...

Hey Josh! Although I've heard tales of an Edison (#6 not #5 nib) & Platinum nib swap, personally I could not make that work. Presumably you could on a Nakaya but, uh, is that a little like carrying coals to Newcastle? *ahem*

 

I have actually swapped the nib onto a Short Octagon before deciding on the Cumlaude as its proper place. Note that I've simply screwed the Platinum section into the Cumlaude barrel. I found a certain number of pens I could do that with (exchange sections w/ease...aka Nakaya and Danitrio). And hey, that's workin' for me! Some day I might get someone to make a section for the Cumlaude to take the Platinum nib and feed. (Note: this is the smaller Cumlaude I'm using.)

This is neat. I hadn't thought of swapping sections until you mentioned it. Good thought. I wonder what pens I have that are "section compatible"?

 

Also, lovely Dani family portrait!

Have to thank (curse?) Julie for her Danitrio love... I'm now the owner of a Kuro Tamenuri Densho, and couldn't be more pleased. Thanks, Julie!

Welcome to the Danitrio Fellowship, Thomas!

Am so happy you like the Densho. Can't wait to see it!

 

Oh, and a photo you must post. *ahem*

Okay, if I must. These aren't great, but they do a passing job at showing the color.

Wow, Thomas - that Densho looks great!

[ethernautrix]

That is a GORGEOUS kuro tamenuri Densho!

[trhall]

Thanks, Josh and Lisa.

 

And all kidding aside, thanks again to Julie for educating me more on Danitrio pens.

...educating me more on Danitrio pens.

 

Um... all I did was say, "Look at the bright, shiny, pretty pen, Thomas!"

[Scriptorium Pens]

What a beautiful little pen...and a beautiful collection!

Your pictures are beautiful and interesting. I have an Aka Tamenuri Densho that I acquired in 2006. It has the same signature - Koichiro Okazaki (Kogaku) - but on the section (directly opposite the top side of the nib) rather than the end of the barrel.

 

Thanks for your pictures.
