Wow. Thank you for sharing.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

It was truly a pleasurable experience to have the pen in my possession, even for a short length of time.

That is such an interesting beautiful pen! Loving the rosegold and blue combo and the nib sounds fabulous. Thank you for the beautiful pictures! Do think the pen seems a bit heavy.

Thank you! Glad you've enjoyed the photos. I, too, like the blue and rose gold combination as the colors complement each other particularly well. The pen definitely falls into the weightier category at 2.15 ounces, but as I mentioned, I was comfortable using it for extended periods of time.

While I don't see much samurai resemblance, it is indeed a beautiful pen. Good review and nice photos. Well done. Congrats and enjoy your pen :)

Fountain pens are like weapons. They just make your pocket bleed so much.

Try to find the review of the olive davinci but accidentally find this article. Stunned by the beauty of this pen. Go to the link and order the very last fine nib.

 

Thanks a lot for the review and because of it I've got the chance to get this beautiful pen. I've just got a Amerigo Vespucci from Stipula today. Same mechanism with titanium nib. Mine is a wooden layout pen, it is because of the craftsmanship that I decide to purchase another.

 

Thanks again!

So glad you enjoyed the review. I looked at the Vespucci as well as the olive wood and both are beautiful. Enjoy your pens!

I have got the "basic" black model with a 1.1 nib. Am very pleased with this pen, which for me is far better than a VP. Having got the basic version it makes me appreciate this Samurai all the more.. :)

      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
