    I may have ordered a Sai also, with a medium nib... Oops.
    OK, so I'm super excited. I'm going to try swapping the metal bits on a goldfish maki-e converter.

    My Sai arrived yesterday. It's very pretty. Very, well, clear. The faceted barrel is eye-catching.

    I pillaged a goldfish maki-e converter from one of my Nakayas and swapped out the metal parts so that it would match the Sai's silver nib. It was easy to do. (Thanks, earthdawn, for giving me the courage!) I have to say, the maki-e converter looks phenomenal in this pen. I haven't inked it yet--I'm waiting until Christmas day--but I'm thinking that a clear blue like Sailor Sky High will be perfect for the goldfish to swim in.

    Thanks again for posting this review, tandaina. I had dismissed the Sai until I saw your photos. It's soooo pretty. I'm very glad I added this one to the collection and I can't wait to ink it up!

    My Sai package arrived today. I'll inspect it when I get a moment to myself, then under the Christmas tree it goes!

    I've got mine (in my snowflake converter) inked with the old 1670 rouge hematite. So damn pretty and festive! I'm really, really liking this pen. The M nib is big enough (these really aren't Japanese nibs I swear), and wet enough to really make the sheen shine.

    Those converters are so cool and a perfect complement to the pens.
