I just pimped my Asa Nauka with this little gem:

I think it makes the pen look "less black" if that makes any sense. I like black/gold pens, but all black somehow seemed too much.

How do you do that?

It looks really nice with the snake around...

Yes, the 16mm version is a tight fit, it slides over if you push it carefully and then stays like that. Occasionally it twists a little when uncapping, but nothing seriously moves.

For now, I've bookmarked that site. Will wait until the Nauka is here & I've tried it before deciding on any add-ons. But if any, this will be it!

Yes, I can imagine. It's very beautiful.

And it would be so cool to have a piece of 3D-printed jewelry!

I am curious if this pen is still available for purchase with a 1.1mm stub Jowo nib? I don't see the option for nib sizes pertaining to Jowo (only Schmidt) and I have my heart set on the stub in a clipless matte black finish.

 

Thanks,

William

I just ordered the same model. All black shiny clipless with Jowo broad nib. I like the simplicity of the pen. Looking forward to recieving it. I know sometimes with the black ebonites from india, the ebonite material has pores in it. Is this the case for your pen?

Not to the naked eye. If you put it under a magnifying glass, you probably detect something.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
