The dragonfly wings turn diagonally around the cap in a stunning composition that begs the handler to rotate the pen. The effect is one of floating gossamer golden filigree over a deep transparent amber color.

The Nakaya portable cigar spiketails is one of the most beautiful Nakaya pen I have. This makie technique allows the two ends of the pen to be semi-transparent while the middle part is opaque. The giant dragonfly with its laced wings and prominent eyes are ever so alluring. Every detail is so vividly crafted one can spend more time admiring the beauty of the pen than writing. However, the masterful customization of the nib to a sweet flexible left oblique makes this lovely pen an even more exciting writing instrument. The cigar portable model is a perfectly balanced pen which is very comfortable in the hand and the absence of the cap clip in this particular model allows the intricate details to be shown without interruption. Every order from Nibs.com has been an exciting adventure that always results in another pen which I treasure. The service is excellent, timely and personalized each and every time. During this time of social distancing, it is truly remarkable that John Mottishaw and David have continued to provide this incredible service. I highly recommend their pens and the company.
