Ordered on the 2nd; arrived on the 8th.  I'll post photos later; it is beautiful, though. I agree, A Smug Dill, about the M nib   this one seems to writing as wide as my Western M nibs. I am surprised by this; the board nib on my Wicked Witch doesn't seem this wide.  It may be an ink/paper issue, though.

Glad to hear you like it. :D

Here are the photos of my Kan. I am having a little less concern about the width of the nib now. It definitely spreads on Pelikan paper, but not on toothier stuff. I can tell my only regret will be the Sailor converter; I really hate those converters. Otherwise, so far so good!

I was afraid of that. Let me figure out how to upload the jpeg version.

Thank you for that. Gorgeous!

 

I see the card in the box that says ¥35,000+tax. Getting the set for US$250 is a bargain. 😃

The pen is red, but I am green with envy.

Congrats on a great looking pen. Cheers.

      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

      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
