I have to go with this Nakaya that I just picked up at the Baltimore Pen Show. I love the color scheme (which reminds me of a Milky Way candy bar), the bamboo theme, and the way the design was even carried onto the section.

Wow. That is one drop dead gorgeous pen. But my brain and immune system are going "urushi? Bad! Urushi? Bad!' :crybaby:

Yeah, I can see the "Milky Way candy bar" part.

Neither have I. That's why when I saw it, I said (in this order):

 

"I'll take it. How much?"

 

Tough negotiator, right?

Haha...reminds me of of that scene from Seinfeld when the guy offers a lifetime of coffee as compensation to Kramer, and before that guy can say further Kramer cuts in and says "I'll take it."

 

Beautiful pen by the way. I can see what joy it would bring to one to use such a pen.

Until this pen, I could easily, and always did, say: I don't like Maki-e.

 

Now, I must say, this one is of utmost beauty, and certainly the most beautiful pen I have ever seen.

 

Very elegant, and poetic.

very nice pen.

does it lose its colour and shine with use?

Does the surface develop scratches?

I have what I think are some lovely-looking pens, but this one I'm going with because I just really like handling it and looking at it, as well as writing with it. It's a Conway Stewart 85L, from 1957 through 1963 or so. I hope you can see some of the chatoyance in the photos. The gold veins with the pearly green just rings my chimes, for some reason.

I look at it more than I write with it, but so far I have not noticed any change in appearance and I have not seen any real scratches. I am sure if it received more casual use, being tossed on a desk, etc, it might get scuffed a bit, but I am pretty careful with 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
