    Default Nakaya Dorsal Fin 2 in aka-tamenuri - review

    My grail pen is finally home. And it is a stunner. As my reviews focus on urushi aspect of the pen - I already recorded one and here it is.

    Please write you opinion on this style of reviews after watching.

    It would be better if it was written and not some video. Video reviews generally don't work.

    I review mostly the urushi aspect of the pen. I understand what you say, and I will write more, but showing it makes much more sense for me.
    Thank you for feedback.

    Hi Michal,

    I enjoyed the review and thought that your perspective as an urushi practioner made it particularly interesting. A written review would also not show off the beauty of the pen as the video did. Congrats on getting your grail.

    One area I found lacking was not seeing the pen actually write!
    Vintage. Cursive italic. Iron gall.

    Heh: that's much better!

    For a broad, it is quite a fine line; more like a western F/M?

    Terrific review! When I was in Singapore last year I had the chance to handle a few Nakaya pens, but the shop did not have any dorsal fins. Looks fabulous.

    Yes it is like F/M on my Pelikans. Medium on another Nakaya is like proper western fine. Widht of those nibs is very simillar (but not identical) to Platinum 3776 nibs. I have F, SF, M, B, C (BB), Music - all great nibs, and most much finer than western. Not C (BB) - this one is phat juicy nib, perfect for mods like architect, naginata togi, broad italic etc. Huge tip. Music is fantastic too, but I will grind it for more line variation. And it is stiffer than my Bock Music nib.
