Nakaya 1/3 There...

Recommended Posts

Looking forward to seeing pics of your Nakaya !!!!

 

You will be refreshing the UPS site a million times between now and when it arrives lol

Thank you, Earthdawn! It does not feel real to me yet, and probably wont until I hold it in my hand :) Will post pics immediately upon arrival, though it takes a few weeks to get to Norway and through customs ;) You're absolutely right, I'll be tracking it like crazy :D

My Nakaya shipped today! I am practically shivering over here. And not just because I ran out of firewood today, the fridge is empty, house is ice cold and there is no toilet paper.. :blush: :lol: (We're not all rich people buying Nakayas :P )

Will be tracking it like crazy and post pics as soon as it arrives. I can not imagine how it looks. A Naka-ai Housoge Black and gold with a two tone music nib, aaaaahh... :wub:

Enjoy the anticipation!

 

I too have just had word that my Nakai-ai Ao-Tamenuri Ascending Dragon (rhodium soft Medium CI) is on its way...

Too many pens; too little writing.

Oh that must be one amazing pen! And what an exciting nib choice! Very happy for you, I guess we're both in the tracking business these days then ;) :D

Wow, congratulations Trax! That's going to be one AWESOME pen! Maybe you can hangout at the library until your pen arrives? ;)

He he good idea! I'm still out of firewood, toilet paper, etc. But worst is I'm out of Pepsi! :D I've been using gas lanterns from my camping gear to heat the apartment the past two days, gives a new feel to the word survival gear.. :lol:

I wish they'd had the single tone music nib, but it was out of stock. I hope it won't look too noisy with a two tone against a patterned pen :)

Thank you for your congratulation!

I hope you are really happy with it, when it arrives, and I expect to see the results when you are able!

That you will! I recently wrote you a letter by the way, and put it aside on the couch to find an envelope later. Went for a bikeride with the dog in (bleep) weather, came home supertired and sat down in the couch - on your letter.. So a new one will be written as soon as possible! :blush:

 

When waiting for the Nakaya and they said 6-8 months wait, I kind of expected to get an email when the pen arrived at nibs, and that the pen may be put in a grinding queue or something for abit and then eventually shipped out. I did not expect to out of the blue just get an email that said your pen is done and ready to ship :D That economically took me quite by surprise, but then again I am more of a mess than most people in this regard :D

The definition of rich isn't whether you can buy Nakayas, it's whether you can buy Nakayas and have enough left over for food. Which I suppose is *technically* the case with me, because my rent and food is covered and I'm not going to have any major expenses between now and, say, August, but that would be living on the edge...

 

For my birthday in March I might buy one. Watch this space.

I hope you get to buy one! :) I have a camera lens that I was willing to sell if it came down to it and that is why I dared order one this time. Luckily it looks like I can keep the lens, so these are happy times here :)

Thank you WOBentley! You've got some amazing pens! On my Nakaya tracking it says International dispatch ready for the third day in a row, eeeeeeek! :D

Congratulations Trax - it looks fantastic! Any chance of a writing sample?

(How are you holding out? Hope you're getting some food in you!)

Thank you JLS1! Tummy is filled with food again, all is well today :D

Writing sample, though I do not know how to write to best show the nib, so this is just my everyday scrawl:

Congratulations! It looks fantastic and I aspire to your scrawl. :D

 

+1. Glad to see that you're writing with the new Nakaya AND you've had a good meal!

(How are the Nakayas getting along? No fights yet? ;) )

      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
    • adamselene
      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
