Nakaya Naka Ai Toki Tamenuri

Here is a review of my Nakaya Naka-ai in the color Toki-Tamenuri (EF Nib). I am pretty blown away by the quality of this pen and the nib. I don't think I've ever had an EF nib this smooth that lays down such a fine line (0.2mm). This has to be one of my favorite pens that I own and I give it 11/10 (Yep, it's that amazing!)

Hi Jacob, thanks for your great review. I own a Piccolo and totally agree with everything you said. Love your handwriting too :-)

I've been waiting for mine for a few months, it's coming! I ordered from Nakaya Japan, along with some accessories.

You're gonna love it! What pen did you get? The Naka-ai? And in what color?

[@supermadmax]

Jacob Leroux I got the decapod writer in Aka-tamenuri and the Neostandard in Heidi-tamenuri.

Great review Jacob, the pen writes very similar to Platinum 3776 Century Fine! Could you tell us what ink were you using in that video? I myself am looking for a good black ink. Greetings from the UK, great job!

Hey David, all of my videos use the Iroshizuku in Take-Sumi. I have found that it is the best black ink that I can find. Very smooth flow with great saturation. I tried out at least 10 black inks before I found one that I liked! The Take-Sumi is especially good in super fine nib pens, I found that others would clog them up sometimes! I hope that helps!

Beautiful pen and inspiring review! I have a kuro-tamenuri decapod twist with a stub nib waiting for me back home that I haven't even opened yet (currently traveling), and now I want an EF nib Nakaya too. Assuming I love the Decapod, a Naka-ai in aka-tamenuri may be in my future.

Well thanks for watching! I would love to hear what you think about the decapod - that is definitely a beautiful pen and when my finances allow it I will probably get one myself!!!
