You guys are killing my budget.
Just arrived today- Nakaya 'Ascending Dragon' Long Cigar in Heki-Tamenuri with a broad cursive italic nib done by John Mottishaw at Classic Fountain Pens. The nib is going to take a little getting used to as if I rotate it at all or lean the pen to one side it doesn't write properly. But, I'm already adapting. Once I get more settled with it I'll try to remember to post a writing sample.
I'm really digging this pen.
The shots below show the dragon as much more pronounced than it really is in person.
Enjoy!

Nice!

That is a beauty, many congratulations.

Very nice.

I like my Nakaya (music nib).

Any close ups of your nib? I looks finer than described in the pix?

Nice pix.

Nice pix.

I'll see what I can do about a picture of the nib...perhaps next to the uncustomized medium.

Very cool pen. Congrats.

Gorgeous pen! Well done!

Numismatist · 24 June 2011, 03:25 AM

A big congrats on that - it's extremely elegant

2careless · 24 June 2011, 06:28 AM

That's a nice pen and nib. Well done!

How do you find the Triomphe paper? It's my favourite, love the smoothness!

Damage Inc. · 24 June 2011, 11:35 AM

I really like the Triomphe, great stuff, as you said- extremely smooth, zero feathering, and I can usually write on both sides.
I also like the Frankfurt (Zerkall)- a little less smooth but such a nice looking grain and very soft hand.

Damage Inc. · 26 June 2011, 01:18 PM

Broad cursive italic on the left, 'standard' medium (Ruthenium plated) on the right.

A little writing sample & close-ups to try and give you a feel for the difference.
