Description:
Takayuki Suzuki is a custom maker fascinated by Japan ebonite traditions. He began designing a traditional-style fountain pen in 2019 and listed his project on Kickstarter in 2021, successfully raising money to produce it via around 39 backers worldwide.
As well as Bock # 6 nibs in EF - B, he also offered Pilot Posting (PO) nibs which were originally designed to allow tiny, precise calligraphy on poor quality postcards. Pilot's own pens that offer this nib option are somewhat limited in style and I thought this was a unique opportunity to get a nib I wanted in an interesting body.
The pen is made in black ebonite with a red "wave" pattern section.
NOTE: Due to the design, this pen cannot be posted.
