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.

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

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.
THANK YOU -- thanks to you I noticed that I uploded the wrong file ;((( Now link is OK, and here it is again. With writing, and much more of the pen not my face

Heh: that's much better!
For a broad, it is quite a fine line; more like a western F/M?
Vintage. Cursive italic. Iron gall.
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.
