{"product_id":"nakaya-decapod-cigar-kuro-tamenuri-st","title":"Nakaya Decapod Cigar Kuro-tamenuri ST","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Nakaya Decapod Cigar Kuro-tamenuri ST fountain pen is a black pen with edges of red showing through the ten facets of the smooth urushi finish. The facets of this fountain pen follow from end to end in a long smooth curve. It is a shape that can be described by pure geometry except that it is subtly more complex. In the end it is the eye and the hand that this shape most satisfies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nakaya Decapod Cigar Kuro-tamenuri fountain pen is handcrafted from ebonite and Urushi lacquer, and comes standard with your choice of solid gold 14k nib.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Decapod is one of the most distinctive and instantly recognizable of the pen styles created by Nakaya. Uniquely well suited to Urushi finishing, the facets on these ten-sided pens allow the underlying color to be clearly seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith no clip this fountain pen has a form that is uninterrupted, making the subtle colors, texture, and shape most prominent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ten sided shape has another function. Because it is not round in cross section it is not likely to roll off a desk.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe Decapod gives facets an entire new meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e This urushi application appears to glow from within as the darker outer color \"\"pulls back\"\" from edges leaving an impression of inner light. This occurs on every edge of this pen, so the faceted models exhibit many opportunities for this effect. The urushi lacquer acts something like a ceramic glaze, emphasizing the form. \n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003eThe ends of this pen are beveled to finish the facets. This provides a rounder edge, more likely to wear evenly. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNakaya 14k nibs are well-suited to customizations including Stub, Cursive Italic, and Left Oblique, as well as the modification for added flexibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDecorative rice paper, a simple solid softwood shipping box decorated with Japanese Kanji script, and a fabric pen \"\"kimono\"\" are all included with this pen, making it a lovely presentation item. Sensible and elegant packaging has long been a hallmark of the Nakaya brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNakaya pens are individually handcrafted and take months to arrive. \n\u003cbr\u003eUnless requested otherwise, each pen or nib you purchase from us will be carefully examined, tested, and optimized for your personal writing characteristics before it ships.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nakaya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43700864188711,"sku":"","price":812.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/0486\/9168\/files\/NakayaDecapodCigarKuro-tamenuriST.jpg?v=1717646521","url":"https:\/\/nibs-usa.com\/products\/nakaya-decapod-cigar-kuro-tamenuri-st","provider":"Nibs-USA.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
