Namiki Falcon Resin Black Gold
The Falcon Resin has been re-branded as part of the Pilot rather than Namiki family of pens, with the Namiki moniker being reserved for higher-end Maki-e pens such as the Yukari, Yukari Royale, and Emperor collections. This pen is now available only in the new Pilot branded version.
The Namiki Falcon Resin is both a terrific everyday writer, as well as an excellent lower-cost introduction to quality fountain pens. With its soft semi-flexible 14k nib, it is also, along with the Pilot 912 Falcon nib series or any Nakaya brand pen, one of the best starting points for our well-known Spencerian customization..
The provided converter allows it to be filled with any bottled fountain pen ink, and it can also use Pilot brand cartridges. For a similar pen available in an extra-fine point and with even more ink capacity, see the Pilot Metal Falcon.
The Falcon Resin is the same terrific pen as before - only the inscriptions on the nib and cap band have changed.
Additional Namiki medium and broad nib units are easily swappable at home and available from us. The Falcon Resin is one of the most popular pens for customizations. Nibs can be modified for additional flex or for cuts to Left Oblique or Cursive Italic.
Below is a sample from customer Kirk Edelman demonstrating the use of a Falcon Resin with John's Spencerian modification. The level of ability seen here requires skill, patience, and practice - we recommend Eleanor Winters' book "Mastering Copperplate Calligraphy" for those wishing to learn this technique.
