Nakaya Piccolo in Polished Shu with fine nib. We’ve had a rainy and gray fall here, but this little pen has just added a shot of color. It’s a Piccolo in Polished Shu with a fine nib.
I really, really like the Polished Shu finish, and I especially like where you can see the darker underlayer showing through.
This particular fine nib is very fine and it writes on the dry side, so it’s very precise. I chose to get a smoother writing experience, instead of the thinnest possible line, by matching this nib with an ink sample that’s very wet-writing, and very lubricated, and also new-to-me. It’s called “Randall” from Nick Stewart, and it’s made by Diamine. I got this sample from my friend Jon. Thanks, Jon!

I get why people notice the colour, I really do, but the shape of this is even better! So pleasing, and unusual too.

Brilliant! Except that I am truly happy for you… as much as I love that pen; the Piccolo is a bit small for me. But I feel that if I tried it, I would ignore such trivial practicalities 😊

Oh you see, I thought it was too small for me, too…. Now I’m not so sure. A tale for another day, however.

I met Nick Stewart when he put in an appearance at the Pelikan Hub event in London, to promote his ink workshop events.
