Platinum Izumo Sora Tamenuri (Fine Nib)

Recommended Posts

 

If you want to see what the nib is like, try a Platinum President. They are very nice pens in their own right and not terribly expensive, about $220 from nibs.com

 

I wholeheartedly agree. I recently bought a used-but-well-looked-after President model and have been extremely impressed with it. Lovely pen, well-made and of course it writes beautifully. The size is just right and it is well-balanced. I usually prefer a nib with some spring to it, but in this case I have been delighted to make an exception. I certainly prefer the President's nib to that of the 3776. But of course this is somewhat off-topic.

 

Urushis are too rich for my blood, alas.

These kind of reviews are ruining my bank balance :crybaby: . Have the wooden Tagayasan and you are right about the stiffness of these nibs compared a #3776.

Thanks for the nice honest review!

 

I've been mulling the Izumo for a number of years, but its the clip that bothers me.

 

It's actually listed at 50% of a regular Nakaya price at Rakuten at the moment in this Sora tamenuri colour, if your looking to snap one up.

 

I love this Sora tamenuri colour, more in the Ao-tamenuri range, which I prefer. Now if they offered this in a cigar version...

      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
