@como, it is the Pelikan collector box for 24 pens. Pelikan M800 was my entry into the rabbit hole, so even though I now prefer Japanese pens I still have a strong soft spot for Pelikans. Next thereto this box is very compact, and holds almost all size pens. The Nakaya long and Namiki Emperor and some others (none of which I own bytheway) excluded...

@Linger: Thank you for showing the pen box. I now remember that I have seen this Pelikan box for sale before, a nice one, not too expensive yet very presentable. If I understand you correctly, the Long Cigar doesn't fit in this one? I have looked at Franklin Christoph's pen trays. The 7-pen tray can fit but it's sold out for the moment. My Long Cigar is always out, homeless 😀.

Thank you! I also like it very much, something very serene about it.

Family extension!

It is not the first time that the Portable Cigar Bamboo Woods shows up on FPN. But it is the first time I see it and hold it and write with it in real life. 

 

My order (via Akkerman in Den Haag, NL) went to Japan mid July and the pen arrived at my home just before New Year’s Eve - so fairly quickly. 

 

And it is beautiful. Truly and utterly beautiful. Photos do not do it justice. Especially not mine...with the typical Dutch overcast, grey weather forcing an ugly flashlight. The colours are so much more vibrant and deep and alive. Next thereto, I was most surprised to see an almost 3D effect on the patterns - I guess a result of the different layers of lacquer.

 

As it is not my first Portable, the size and weight of the pen were no surprise. The Medium nib is solid. It has a nice flow which results in an easy effortless writing experience. I have another M nib that was tuned by Nakaya staff during a store event to absolute perfection, so I originally thought about swapping the nibs. But this nib is almost as good. And after reading other threads on that topic I am not so sure anymore in any case. The idea of damaging any of the two pens fills me with dread... 

 

The pen will replace my Portable Writer in Heki-Tamenuri. That is the one with the tuned M nib, so I hate to see it go, but I need to recuperate a bit of the grail-investment in the Bamboo Woods...not to mention a wishlist containing a Neo and a Dorsal Fin...

 

It is inked up with Montblanc Kipling Jungle Green - appropriate for a pen depicting a Panda Bear Forest. A nice ink, bytheway, that is army/olive drab green, but subdued, inconspicuous, also easily fitting in a more formal environment. 

 

All-in-all, this is something to proudly behold. Japanese mastery of lacquer art and pen craftsmanship. I am happy.

Bamboo Woods is a gorgeous pen.  I have it both in Portable and also Neo Standard with the hand painted matching clip.  I think Bamboo Woods is the best looking Nakayas I have owned!  I hope you enjoy yours a great deal!

Thanks whichwatch. Actually, it was your post/thread “deeper into the woods” that hooked me onto it almost immediately. Another FPN member was kind enough to reach out to me with some further information/encouragement, and here we are.

How is that BB stub? I have a Ryogiri on order with a B stub and thinking of changing it to BB stub. Anyway here are my Nakayas. Portable Cigar Yakomakie Bat in Kuro-tamenuri with BB CI with added flex and a Decapod Twist Heki-tamenuri with Soft Medium.

My family is complete. Or at least I currently think so. Too early for a nakaya-acquisition-vasectomy but I am fairly happy with with the size of the family at present.

Thank you.  This is quite helpful.  Third from the left is a Cigar Portable?

Add lightness and simplicate.

Yep, the 17mm Portable Cigar. It shares the dimensions with the Dorsal Fin, an elongated section with more girth than the elongated section of the Neo Standard.

      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
