Namiki fountain pens are hand-made and hand-painted which makes it a little more expensive than the rest of the mid range class. Maki-e, the centuries-old method employed by Japanese craftsmen to apply several layers of lacquer (from sap obtained from Japanese lacquer trees) sprinkled with silver or gold powder on wares, gives a new dimension to the Namiki fountain pen.
For some pen connoisseurs, it can be a unique touch that satisfies their penchant to own something that pays homage to a creative past. People love this pen for the reason that it is unique and that not many people own one. This is because Namiki has some limited edition fountain pens that are only found in Japan.
It has this medium gloss finish dinned with oriental color combinations. The casing is thick and is almost bulletproof which protects the ink barrel, making it perfect for everyday use. The pen is durable it would last more than what you expected.
The pen is quite large and heavier than most fountain pens but this is only because of its metal detailing. The nib is made of 14kt gold. It can easily be installed into the casing if you wish to unscrew that part due to the generous amount of spring in it.
The best test of all is how Namiki fountain pens perform as a writing instrument. This pen did not disappoint us. It writes smoothly and heavily on paper but it tends to produce wet lines that can smudge especially if you are left-handed. Nonetheless, it is very comfortable to use and the nib can be replaced easily and affordably.
Owning an original handpainted Namiki fountain pen can offer lasting delight. There’s a lifetime product guarantee. As with most other Japanese innovations, technology and nature are the hallmarks of design. Pen users will marvel at nature scenes. The Emperor Collection, for instance, features patterns like autumn flowers, in a rainbow of colors.
There is also the Sterling Collection Pens featuring animal designs like a Dragon or hawk, tastefully engraved on the barrel and cap. The pens come in attractive gift boxes that make really nice special gifts. With such exquisite designs, writing (or gift-giving) has never been more inspiring.
