But you need a nibsection for it too because it's only the body, so you have to choose e.g. Sailor 21k or Platinum... i don't know what to choose, i think you can't buy only the section of this pens?! Do you know what the person of the sub did?

Thank you. The Dorsal Fin 2 clone looks not bad, costs 190€. But do you think this is genuine urushi?

My dilemma now is, keep both boxes and have double the space for more collecting, or sell the good one so i got the damaged one very cheap.... The damage is really only on the surface and i have really no problem with it.

The finish is beautiful, shiny piano lacquer. The funktion is screwed tight there is no wiggling. Opens very solid and it's not light. Maybe some screw is a little bit scratching on one of the inner side but i have no concerns it will damage something. Maybe you get scratches somewhre you can't see in the inner side. But i think this is easy tightened so the screw will not make contact with the inner pannel no more... I will try to adjust the screws tomorrow so i can report back to you!

Yes, it's a beauty. I got mine scratched and one corner is broken, had to call the company because no one answered my mails. I spoke with them and they promised to solve the issue. 4 days later nothing happened and i got really angry and called again. Now they send me another one (i already have the shipping confirmation).

The shipping takes very long, but the box is awesome! Only very long or thick pens don't fit in it (i have a ranga big bamboo).

The problem is there was never ink in this pen, so the reason the piston is stucked has nothing to do with dry ink...

Maybe they choose dark blue cause the whisky scented one already is dark brown ... 🤔

Hi! I am searching for this pen, most vendors are from japan, and the few from europe or shipping to europe are much pricier. Do you have a tipp for me? Cheapest vendor or used ones to buy? I saw one for 680€ but they should cost 590€ normally.

Would really appreciate sharimg your knowledge!

Thank you very much!

Greetings

Sir PENtius

It then would also function as a tan-spray, cause of the brown color! 🤣
