Is anybody here considering buying the Wancher Dream pen? The Tamenuri red looks very nice...

Tempted. Very tempted.
Does anyone know what nib sizes are available?
Not me. It's a pretty pen, but expensive -- too much for a JoWo holder. I don't really care about urushi per se, at least not on a pen.
Aren't they sold out?

Looks like EF, F, M, B in steel or gold and various finishes.
The Kickstarter campaign ends in 19 days.
I'm tempted.
No, they look crude to me.

Got it.
I see two things happening in the future, either Taizo-san will lower the price, making the pens affordable for a whole lot more people, or refine the process so the pens would be comparable to Nakaya or Pilot who had been producing these types of pens for decades.
I already have several urushi pens by Nakaya, Namiki, and Danitrio, so I'm not interested in this one. If I didn't have one, I would certainly consider it as a way of trying out this style of pen.
At the Japanese price you can get a Platinum Izumo Urushi... which is not a steel Jowo nib.
It is one of Platinum's flagship pens and comes with a Platinum 18K nib and is a much more interesting pen in general.
