Nakaya Decapod Cigar Kuro-tamenuri ST
The Nakaya Decapod Cigar Kuro-tamenuri ST fountain pen is a black pen with edges of red showing through the ten facets of the smooth urushi finish. The facets of this fountain pen follow from end to end in a long smooth curve. It is a shape that can be described by pure geometry except that it is subtly more complex. In the end it is the eye and the hand that this shape most satisfies.

The Nakaya Decapod Cigar Kuro-tamenuri fountain pen is handcrafted from ebonite and Urushi lacquer, and comes standard with your choice of solid gold 14k nib.
The Decapod is one of the most distinctive and instantly recognizable of the pen styles created by Nakaya. Uniquely well suited to Urushi finishing, the facets on these ten-sided pens allow the underlying color to be clearly seen.
With no clip this fountain pen has a form that is uninterrupted, making the subtle colors, texture, and shape most prominent.

The Decapod gives facets an entire new meaning.

The ends of this pen are beveled to finish the facets. This provides a rounder edge, more likely to wear evenly.


Nakaya pens are individually handcrafted and take months to arrive.
Unless requested otherwise, each pen or nib you purchase from us will be carefully examined, tested, and optimized for your personal writing characteristics before it ships.
