Nakaya Piccolo Writer Metal Thread Heki-tamenuri
If you have always enjoyed Nakaya's ebonite and urushi fountain pens, but would prefer a writing instrument with a bit more heft than these provide, the new Metal Thread in Heki-tamenuri may be the pen for you.

The colors of Heki-tamenuri in particular are subject to the variation of hand made hues. No two are exactly the same and a color shift can happen over time in the making of these pens.
The Metal Thread pens will be available as both clipless Cigar models and in the with-clip Writer model seen here. Note the metal threading at the front of the barrel - this, and the $100 reduction in the price, is the only difference between these Metal Thread pens and the traditional all-ebonite versions of these pens.
If you didn't know to look for it, you might not even notice that the ebonite threading on most Nakaya pens has been replaced by a metal version, seen here in detail. But this small addition has a big impact, adding eight grams to the over-all weight of this pen and making it an excellent choice for those Nakaya owners who would prefer a slightier heavier writing instrument. The additional weight is in just the right place for balance.
Nakaya pens are individually handcrafted in a process that requires a minimum of three to six months and often much longer.
