Thanks very much for looking at our listing for this Nakaya D-17mm Portable Cigar Aka-Tamenuri Fountain Pen, which comes with an IZODS presentation box, guarantee card and pen kimono. The pen has barely been used and is presented in virtually as new condition.
Nakaya require no introduction and if you’ve got this far then likely you’ll be familiar with their wonderful writing instruments. The standard Portable Cigar has a diameter of 15mm, but this is the 17mm version, which adds a suprising amount of heft and shape to the pen.
The pen is hand-turned from solid ebonite rod stock, which then has multiple layers of lacquer applied, before finally being finished with natural urushi resin. Aka-tamenuri has a deep red glow to the finish.
The pen is fitted with a 14k fine nib and it’s a cartridge / converter pen (supplied), so your choice here is bottled ink.
The important details are as follows...
Condition: Virtually As New
Box: IZODS
Nib: Fine
With every pen that we sell we provide a card that includes the manufacturer, model, serial / limitation number and date it was purchased from us. We do this because our customers like to have documentation showing that it’s been purchased from a trusted seller. As the Financial Times said recently in their How To Spend It publication - "izods is an e-cache of ultra fine fountain pens".
