Some larger Asian connected pens.

Here are a few Asian influenced or created fountain pens.


From top: Pilot Custom 743, Danitrio Takumi, Nakaya Portable Writer, Sailor 1911 King of Pen ST, Platinum Izumo.

Wiping the drool off my keyboard. I think my keys have about stopped sticking.

Incredible collection Jim! That Danitrio is remarkable and of course the Nakaya Portable and Platinum Izumo are on my A want list as well.

Thank you for sharing!

That is the 1911 version and it's about as big a pen as I find comfortable. The Izumo and Takumi may be just a hair larger but they are close to my limit.

When I get a chance I want to do a comparison of the Sailor 1911 KOP and the Pro Gear version and maybe include the Pilot 743 and 845 and maybe also the Nakaya Prortable and Neo-Standard writers. That would be a "Balance" style and a "Duofold" style from each of the big three Japanese makers.
