New Hakase’s

[Mew]

I ordered 4 (or maybe 5) Hakase’s in November 2023. 4 of them arrived last week. 
 

 

Lapis Lazuli Celluloid

kingwood 

Black Persimmon Urushi - LE of 13 introduced in November 2023 

 

 

 

I got 2 of the persimmon Urushi with different nibs. All the pens can no longer be ordered. I personally like the lapis lazuli the most, for the person I ordered it for, even though I can no longer give it to her. 
 

Thanks for looking.

All 4 pens look stunning. Congratulations 👍

Beautiful pens! Do you use these on a daily basis?

All four are wonderful pens, and being hand made, each is one of a kind by definition; yours is a truly enviable situation.

Thanks. For the past 1.5 years, I don’t think I have used or bought any other pens apart from Hakase. Haven’t inked the ones in the thread but will do soon.

Really caught my eye too!  Beautiful!

@whichwatch and @PAKMAN -- I was just thinking the same thing!  But have a bad feeling that it would be completely out of my price range (and of course, the other ones would be "no way!" pens for me because of the urushi finish...  ).

They're all incredible!

Update: I didn’t like the black persimmon pens, so they have since been sold. Other 2 stay with me and have been extensively used in the past 1 year.

Just curious: what didn't you like about those pens?

Black section. I prefer the rosewood ebonite section if the pen does not use buffalo horn. 
Plus one of those pens used parts from another Hakase pen that I previously owned, which broke 2 times in 2 years. So we gave up on that one and used parts of that pen in one of those black persimmon. Didn’t like the original pen either.

What is the black section made of?
