Nakaya's Dorsal Fin pens in Ishime-Kanshitsu stone finish have proven to be extremely popular with pen lovers - the fin shape on the cap is both aesthetically striking and also serves as a built-in roll-stopper. Now Nakaya has introduced a new version of this style in smooth urushi Aka-tamenuri finish.
The smooth tamenuri finish highlights the sleek minimalism of this pen - form and function are united in an exemplary manner.
The Nakaya Dorsal Fin Version 2 in smooth Aka-tamenuri finish is provided with solid gold 14k single-tone nib in your choice of tipping size.
Decorative rice paper, a simple solid softwood shipping box decorated with Japanese Kanji script, and a fabric pen "kimono" are all included with this pen, making it a lovely presentation item. Sensible and elegant packaging has long been a hallmark of the Nakaya brand.
Nakaya pens are individually handcrafted in a process that requires a minimum of three to six months and often much longer.

My order arrived today and I am thrilled to death by it. The depth of the finish is absolutely mesmerizing. I ordered a broad nib assuming it would be closer to a medium and I'm not disappointed by that estimate. Also, I asked for a medium-to-wet flow on the tuning and the result exceeds my expectation. Wow.
