    Default Platinum Responds to Pop Culture

    Well, Platinum pens can look pretty stately, and as a retirement job for some older pen workers, the manufacture of Nakaya pens can also convey a sense of Platinum's (and Japanese) cultural dignity.

    Gosh. I wish some company would go pop with a Ragnar Lothbrock special edition Viking Pen. How the little piggies would squeal when the Old Boar writes!!

    Yes - - but too bad ol' Ragnar came to such an ignominious end a couple of episodes ago.

    That is lovely I love my #3776 Bourgogne. Platinum make lovely pens. If that goes up for sale on j-subculture I will have one! I looks gorgeous.

    Amezing collection of Platinums there! But where can we buy them? On this official cite they don't seem to sell any. I already have two Platnum pens, they are great writers.

    That's rather tasteful, actually; I was expecting something more like the Sailor Hello Kitty pen. Am I right in thinking it's basically a 3776 Century with a bit added?

    I *do* like the fact that they've invested as much time in the nib as in the rest of the pen. That's attention to detail!
