Dorsal Fin V2, Heki-Tamenuri, 'm' Hard Nib Bought From Nibs.com

Recommended Posts

WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW! OMG! And did I say WOW?

I'm lost for words at the minute. Both with the pen and the import costs! ha.

I also had the Snowflower converter as well. Just filled it with my favourite ink, Tsuki-yo.

I went for a medium nib as I was worried the fine may be too fine. I could have been wrong. LOL. However the nib just feels great and 'sings' across my Design-Y notebook so well. OMG I am in pen heaven.

Heki-tamenuri? I thought the Brown would be thicker than it is over the Green, and there is one little 'blob' of Brown on the pen which is a slight disappointment to me, BUT I have to realise it is hand made. Oh yeah, and the nib is not perfectly lined up with the 'fin' either! now i am being anal I know.

Enjoy! Im off to write more with it.

Awesome buy, I can only guess at the tear inducing customs bill. Always nice getting that grey form through the post isn't it....

Hi, I was that keen to get it, I tracked it to the local depot then went today to fetch it! They didn't get chance to deliver it or the customs charge letter. LOL.

I was at the depot door wanting it.

That shape is a masterpiece. There's nothing better as far as showcasing pen shaping skill than a DFv2. I'm currently trying to figure out how to purchase a Nakaya. Either a Naka-ai, Neo, or DFv1. I'm waiting for the SF pen show to see them in person and then the saving begins.

I'd love to see a video of it.

      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
