I just wrote on a kitchen scale to measure my pressure. :ph34r: Then again, I ended up going to Nakaya in person, and they figured everything out for me.. :lol:

I have answered light (90g) when I ordered my Nakayas. Make sure that in the special instructions you request the kind of flow you like. I didn't do it the first time around, and my first Nakaya needed to be adjusted. When I ordered the second (a Piccolo) I made sure that they knew I wanted a wet writer, and that's exactly what I got. Perfect out of the box.

Hi Escrib....

Any chance you can post a writing sample with the Nakaya FPs you have ?

 

I don't think I can ever come close to getting a real tryout of a Nakaya here where I live.

 

What nibs you got? The elastic or the standard flex?

 

Is yr grip of the pen high up or close to the nib? My guess is that its quite difficult to have heavy pressure when you hold the pen high up the section.

They do go to a few pen shows in the States. Their Web site will tell you which ones, I think.

Isn't sanity really a one-trick pony, anyway? I mean, all you get is one trick, rational thinking! But when you're good and crazy . . . ooh hoo hoo hoo! . . . the sky's the limit!

      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
