The Kuro Tamenuri Nakaya Decapod is the pen that convinced me that we needed to bring these pens to the English speaking world. Click here to see it. |

Have become completely smitten with the Nakaya Desk Pen in Aka-tamenuri. I’m using it daily with a Broad nib John has customized to a Left Oblique. |
|
 |
The Bexley Ranger in Blue and Black is both a terrific-looking pen and a great everyday writer - and the classic American styling exemplifies Ohio-based Bexley at its best... |

I was attracted to the cool beauty of this Vanishing Point Limited Edtion Ice Green immediately and quickly adopted it as my everyday desk pen. I love its stylishness, convenience, and ease of use. It's been a wonderful introduction to the world of fountain pens. |
|
 |
I absolutely love this Nakaya Portable Araishu (orange) in the cigar model. It's gorgeous and well weighted. | |

John’s new favorite ink is the Pilot Iroshizuku Fuyu-Gaki, Winter Persimmon. A color this warm looks great on paper. You can almost feel the heat coming off of it. |
|
 |
I broke down and bought a bottle of the Iroshizuku Hydrangea. Great saturated color. |

For everday use, David prefers Sailor's pigmented Kiwa-Guro Black - this is a deep, rich black that is also fast-drying and has water resistant qualities. |
|
 |
Ink: Pilot Iroshizuku "Moonlight": Tsuki-yo An ethereal, diaphanous blue that defies concrete description. It's the night sky, it's a stormy sea, it was love at first sight. |

John uses Andreas Lambrou's Fountain Pens of the World as his go-to reference. It is the authoritative volume for fountain pen history and reference. |

David likes The Chronicle of the Fountain Pen by João
Pavão Martins, Luiz Leite, and António Gagean - a terrific book that puts the history of fountain pens in context with world events. |
|
 |
Andy Lambrou certainly knows how to put together a fountain pen book. This is another one of his very informative and beautifully catalogued books. Fountain Pens: United States of America and United Kingdom is a great one to add to your collection. | |
