Ohasido beauty

pretty looking pens, can you get them outside of Japan?

 

You should read the rest of the topic. Many of us have tried. I believe that you either have to attend a pen show in Japan, or go to their store in Sendai, Japan. Once in a great while, one shows up for sale in the FPN classifieds or on the 'bay.

you can "get" them but you have to meet your pen maker first... the service itself is very personal hence you need to meet your pen maker first in PERSON

if you want your very own ohashido but if you dont want your own ohashido they will pop up every now and then

a search on KN's site reveals...

A naive question: what is "KN's site"?

Kingdon Note, perhaps? It is a well known fountain pen shop in Shinjuku, Tokyo, that sells mostly used pens, although they do have some new stock available.

[Algester]

yes its kingdom note I cant say they sell second hand pens they do have second hand pens on hand but they also have their own stock of pens including exclusives from the makers somewhat like Bung box

Beautiful pens in this thread.

 

I've been in recent times, confounded by an Ohasido conundrum of my own. I have been offered a black laquered pen, with some lacquer issues from wear over the years typically around the section and the end of the barrel from posting . Its a good price (less than 300usd) but I remain uncertain.

 

What do you fellows think?

[rutherfordr]

Considering they can cost over $1000 new, it seems like a fair price for a slightly damaged pen.

[Keyless Works]

It depends. If it's going to bother you then don't get it even if it's a "good deal". What is the problem with section? Is the lacquer bubbling or worn away such that it feels rough?

[penomania]

Hello, I have a few Ohasidos, it is not uncommon for the sections to have this problem, as for the end on the barrel, seems to have been well loved, I would take for the price. My 2 cents.

ohh right I was informed the nibs from Ohashido are made by Sailor can anyone verify the feed if it is made by Sailor?

But just for the record, I can add that the converter on my pen is a Sailor converter.
