Nakaya has a new nib ~ Anyone get one yet?

[earthdawn]

So I saw on the FPN FaceBook page some asked why their new Nakaya nib said "Nakaya" & not "Nakata"

Well I asked Nibs.com and the response was that they recently changed it and they have just started seeing the new nibs arriving themselves. There is no difference in the nib other than 1 letter ... any who just thought I would share.

Sooo has anyone else gotten one ???

Nakaya is trying to entice me to buy another Nakaya!

Nope. It isn't going to work, Nakaya.

Hm. "NAKAYA," though. All of mine are NAKATA.

Nope. Nope. Not biting.

I like it, though.

I don't need temptation to buy another Nakaya, I just need $$$

All mine say "Nakata" - now I"ve looked! Fancy me never checking that before !

So why was it Nakata in the first place?
Living in Japan for a long time I'd assume that the person doing the design misread the "Y" it should be for a "T" and no one ever noticed until now - but maybe there's another reason?

The founders last name was Nakata

I just remembered. I wonder if Nakaya can make a MATTE unpolished shu Piccolo. I hope not!

I meant hairline matte, like the hairline matte black. Turns out Leigh Reyes has a hairline unpolished shu. She said that it has become "polished" from use. Which is a relief, cos I don't need another Nakaya. (Laughing. )
