The slices are thin enough to see through. This is why I use handforged Japanese knives in my kitchen.

Nice haul! Very beautiful pens. And those knives! Impressive.

With knives, he slices.
With guitars, he shreds (I think).
More than pens, this one.

You never know when you need to make that strawberry stretch as far as possible!

Beautiful pens. The moonlit snow looks amazing. What nib did you get with it? Thanks for sharing.

[reprieve]

Holy holy. This may be the best haul yet.

Wow, this is great! I love that Yotsubisi (and the Platinums and Pilots). Thanks for sharing!

Gosh! Haul being the operative word here. All just super and those blades so fine!

These pens are simply gorgeous; easy to see why you wanted each; I've enjoyed your reports each of the last few years and look forward to the report from this show; wish some of the ones I am able to attend had such wonderful memories made visible to look back upon. Thanks----and please don't stop doing these reports; I feel I went on a trip. Ladynib302

[ethernautrix]

Gorgeous. You have an enviable collection. Superb.

Who needs a knife, get a blender...

That fuki-urushi finish Stylo-Art is gorgeous! I don't know if they make them anymore. They don't show up on Stylo-Art's website at least. Thanks for sharing! Your pictures are beautiful.

I can ask them. They will be coming to the 2015 San Francisco Pen Show.

Please do! Just wanted to let you know your posts about this year's LA Pen show introduced me to Eboya (and Stylo-Art). At the end of March, I ordered a Tanshin Red Kyouka with the Japanese eyedropper filling system. Can't wait for it! I think I have another two months of waiting to go.
