Nakaya Titanium Piccolo - A Quick Shot

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I'm hoping to have a review of the Nakaya titanium Piccolo up sometime this weekend; until then, here's a shot of the pen with a writing sample from my Instagram feed.

Note the stubbed tip - you can see a small amount of gold where John (Mottishaw) ground off a bit of the ruthenium plating to create the stub. It's an amazing writer!

Is this the Nakaya that your old Decapod made way for in the Classifieds? Very nice. I am curious to learn more in your upcoming review---especially the weight. Titanium sounds heavy (and slippery)!

Hi Jadie! The Mini Decapod cleared the way for (possibly) a streamlined Conid Bulkfiller - still waiting on whether or not I squeaked in under the wire to get one. It's heavy, but not slippery; I've been very pleased by that! I've written with it for over half an hour at a stretch, but I do think a period longer than that would be too much for my hand. :)

Oo, I love your handwriting. I wish I could write with italics and stubs. Just cannot. It's my angle... sigh.

Lovely pen and handwriting! I especially like the flourished nature of the t-crossings.

It's a sweet pen. The handwritting is beautiful.

Do you call this italic hand?

 

Thanks for sharing.

Writing give me the opportunity to reflect and be mindful about the present moment.

Thanks, mtrap!

 

It's really just a mishmash of styles. It's a modified version of my normal handwriting, trying to ape the style of better writers than me :)

 

The style I was taught in school looks a whole lot like something called 'business writing.'

Thanks for sharing. It seems like many of us sometimes ended up creating our own style of writing.

 

Nakaya pens are just amazing. I still like the original Piccolo model best. Although it can be sometimes too short for some people.

I love it the material while cool to me always feels nice in the hand. And John's custom work is like wizardry.

 

I love your writing, i think I've seen it elsewhere and it is spectacular.

 

best

      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
