I think i saw you at the DC Pen show this weekend. I picked up my 3rd Nakaya at the show, a Dorsal Fin v1 (toki tamenuri). It’s hard not to take my eyes and hands off of it. It writes better than any other pen I own.
Nakaya makes some gorgeous pens. The Dorsal Fin and Decapod (Twist) are possibly my favorite body styles to admire. It's great to see these pens in one video.
So great to see all these pens together! I put in an order a couple of months ago for the same long cigar dragon pen, but in red rather than green. I can't wait!
UEF, It's like writing with a cat claw. Yay! That dragon pen is the coolest. I liked the red and black one, too. Thanks for sharing, Azizah. Very nice presentation, you really like those and it makes for a good energy.
'Canoe of glory.' Nice. Eight Nakayai, the sequel to Seven Samurai My fav is the green dragon (love how the refractive gloss hides the dragon as the pen curves), followed by gloss black, semi-gloss red, and the green.
Oh, those are beautiful pens. I've been ignoring Nakaya because I am fine with the bright-candy acrylics but seeing the art and craftsmanship... mmmmaybe gonna put one on the grail list. Thanks for the look!
When I saw you wear the Nike sweater, I thought to myself, "THIS is going to be one hyper-active pen review." I love your enthusiasm. The pens are above my price range (my range is in the Platinum #3776 category ) but they are fun to see you review them. Keep up the great work.👍👍👍
Thanks for the review, really interesting to see all of these together and be able to compare. Not in my league, but nice to know that these are ought there😊😊😊
I really love the dragon! I currently own a Decapod Twist with the Heki-tamenuri finish and a soft-fine nib. It's an amazing pen, and it needs a friend. But that dragon costs about twice what I paid for the Twist, so it will probably remain in fantasy.
Oh dang. I have always thought the Dorsal Fin was cool, but it was never really on my list. But I didn't know they did it with an ishime finish. Onto the list it goes. I really liked your presentation. Not a review or even a pseudo-review. Just 20 minutes of drooling over truly drool-worthy pens.
I am very impressed with the lighting on your set for this video: no shadows, enough light to express the colors of the several pens, I try to do this with my pen photos, and don't always get the result you have. And by the way, the unpolished red is the best because it is so close to the 149 size, and yet you like it.
I have, I'm guessing a much cheaper Namiki in my Nippon Art Golden Pheasant, but it's quite beautiful and writes like a weasel's butt on ice. My favourite Ice Capade show by-the-way. I also have a prera that also writes great. I trust Pilot nibs like no other.
I just looked up one of the prices for these pens and omg... so beautiful but also I’m so broke. Haha. Maybe one day. 🤞🏻 These pens remind me of Japanese fude makeup brushes in the craftsmanship and beauty. Fude brushes are made hand made, hand bundled, and each and every single hair is selected and made into a brush. It’s wildly mind blowing. Once you try one you’d prob never go back to a machine made brush. Lol. Not to get you interested in another expensiveeeee hobby. 😅
Hallo Azizah, are you able to review the 17mm Nakaya? Since I have seen it in this video, I want purchase one, but I 'm not sure about it. It would be also interesting for me, what Mr. Brown will say to it. Thanks a lot for your vids. Manfred Knie here from Vienna, in Austria.
Thank you for showing these amazing pens! I make dragons so I really I need a dragon pen like that one! Sadly not enough in my wallet, so it's dreaming on;-) ( Ijust figured out I would have to sell at least 300 dragons in order to get one;-) )
Dear Azzizah, Please help me figure out if in your personal opinion these beauties are worth the substantial cost. I look forward to your reply, as I'm barely restraining myself from buying a Nakaya pen (not the sword) now. Thank you for another excellent review! Your humble svt, 😊

I'm speechless. So beautiful. All of them!
How do these eight pens compare to eight completely different pens that are similar in that they are also pens?
Nakaya makes some gorgeous pens. The Dorsal Fin and Decapod (Twist) are possibly my favorite body styles to admire. It's great to see these pens in one video.
Ohhh, the green dragon .... 🤤
I knowwww
A big yes from me too 😍😍😍

Lucky you!!!
Okay the pic for this video got me. Awesome. I cant resist I must subscribe now.
LOL! Thank you and welcome!
I really need to get myself a decapod one of these days! Beautiful pens and yes your friend trusts you too much :P
Oh, my. Your raden pen, the dorsal fin/katana, and the dragon. 😍😍😍 🤤🤤🤤
UEF, It's like writing with a cat claw. Yay!
That dragon pen is the coolest. I liked the red and black one, too.
Thanks for sharing, Azizah.
Very nice presentation, you really like those and it makes for a good energy.
Thanks for the overview. It was helpful to see the sizes of the pens.

I love those candy colors, too. It's a never-ending battle!
Still without doubt the best nakaya video on the internet!
Nice video! I’d like to pick up a neo standard or decapod in aka tamenuri someday in the not too distant future. Absolutely stunning pens
When I saw you wear the Nike sweater, I thought to myself, "THIS is going to be one hyper-active pen review."
I love your enthusiasm.
The pens are above my price range (my range is in the Platinum #3776 category ) but they are fun to see you review them.
Keep up the great work.👍👍👍
LOL! This cracked me up.
@@gourmetpens
👍👍👍 glad to know you got a laugh out of it.
Have a great day.
Keep up the great work & enthusiasm.
Oh god I laughed so hard at that whisper of "sword" from the background! 😂

I love the Heki-tamenuri finish, looks fantastic on the Twist! Alas, I, too, shall continue to fantasize.

Thank you! I am fortunate to have a few well-lit spaces I can record in, and friends with solid lighting supplies!
GREAT VID I ALLWAYS CONSIDER YOUR OPINION WHEN I BUY
Woooooooooowwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!
The green coloured Nakaya with the dragon looks unreal even in video. I wish I had more kidneys and livers to spare!
I know. It's insane!
Amazing assortment! Thanks!

Wtf.....!!!!yes drooling....!!!🤐
that's what she said.
@@hdchenhdchen8282 yup...I couldn't resist....I had to....I am from India and here it's very rare to see these kinds of pen so I had to do it...
Wow what lovely pens
What clip selections were the gold clips? Are they gold or matt gold?
Kimono of 8-tails... Nice.
The unpolished one looks like tomato skin. Also, I require the Dragon. Desperately.
Understood.

I will do my best to get it so I can review it!
Fantastic pens a very special review i like them all except for the sword. thank you 5/21/2019 eddy1e

You make dragons?
We need more detail on this!

Oh that's tough. The only way to really know is to get one and try it out, or borrow from a friend.
Are platinum nibs and nakaya nibs the same?
Yes they are
Whoa. That raden pen. 🤯
Are you by any chance interested in pen trading... Curious question that may or may not be a segway to something else...
I'm not against it, and I have traded in the past. Why do you ask? :)
I never understood why people put clips on their nakaya. Maybe I'm the only one who thinks it looks bad.
