Nakaya Dorsal Fin Version 1 Shobu
With its deep purple color and smooth tamenuri finish, the Nakaya Dorsal Fin Version 1 Shobu fountain pen appears sleek and minimalistic. The unique fin on the cap brings an angular dimension to this excellent writing instrument.
The Dorsal Fin Version 1 fountain pen seems to billow like a sail in the wind when it is turned on its side. Its Shobu finish has elements of blue when viewed in some lights, a great color choice for those who prefer some depth and ambiguity.
Utilizing a time-intensive procedure, this pen is made by applying multiple layers of urushi lacquer to the height of the fin. Aside from being visually intriguing, the fin serves as a built-in rollstopper.
The Nakaya Dorsal Fin in smooth Shobu finish is provided with solid gold 14k single-tone nib in your choice of tipping size.
