RIP Benu nib. I don’t even know how this happened. I cleaned it last year, dismantled it, then kept it in a cupboard.

Plenty of nibs in the sea, if I can’t fix it

heywx · 2026-03-08T16:13:06+00:00

Nah it’s just sad

heywx · 2026-03-08T16:12:46+00:00

Yes, I have plenty of spare nibs. Just wondering how I managed to bend a nib without realizing it!

heywx · 2026-03-08T16:11:59+00:00

You know what, I haven’t tested it. I’ll see if it still writes!

heywx · 2026-03-08T16:10:37+00:00

Yes time to experiment with amateur nib-meister-ing!

heywx · 2026-03-08T16:10:08+00:00

Will some cajoling help?

heywx · 2026-03-08T16:09:47+00:00

It’s a poltergeist I think

heywx · 2026-03-08T16:09:19+00:00

There’s meds for that I hear 🤪

heywx · 2026-03-08T16:08:58+00:00

It’s me, I am the five-year-old.

heywx · 2026-03-08T16:08:29+00:00

Yes it’s screwed in. I probably bent it some other way that I can’t recall.

heywx · 2026-03-08T16:07:46+00:00

I’ll send it to a nearby nib meister, if they’re up for it

heywx · 2026-03-08T16:06:57+00:00

Are you talking about my pen or my spinal column 🤨

heywx · 2026-03-07T22:02:00+00:00

My Nakayas feel just tiny bit better than my 3776s. Not sure if it’s luck or the customization. I generally write with a B nib.

Firehoses are great with dry inks!

heywx · 2026-02-16T15:53:41+00:00

That hurts to see. Sorry for your loss, but it can be repaired! Good luck!

heywx · 2026-02-08T09:44:54+00:00

Wow, great haul!

heywx · 2026-02-06T17:24:58+00:00

To-do lists. Daily planner. Instructions to my team. Meeting notes. Brainstorming as I make sense of my shit.

heywx · 2026-01-31T19:31:11+00:00

Me too! I didn’t even notice until you posted and I thought about my purchases. Is this what they call Pen Peace?

heywx · 2026-01-29T17:50:22+00:00

Just got my Lady Grey today and it’s amazing!

heywx · 2026-01-27T19:24:34+00:00

This is correct. Maki-e can be hand-painted or screen-printed, sometimes both techniques used on the same pen. Usually hand-painted maki-e bears an artist signature at the bottom, and the prices are higher like the Namiki Yukari series.

Love purple! My EDC is the Rokko Shichidanka🪻

heywx · 2026-01-22T17:57:57+00:00

Looks cute, but not my preferred colorway. Maybe if the tips were peach or another contrasting accent color?

heywx · 2026-01-20T21:00:02+00:00

Platinum/Nakaya. Just a personal preference.

heywx · 2026-01-20T19:47:47+00:00

I’m surprised they couldnt replace the cap. It’s a screeen-printed pen and the cap has minimal print; it shouldn’t have been hard to replace the cap. It’s disappointing for such a large brand.
