Headed to Tokyo. Recs for Nakaya or other Fps?
I'm looking to purchase a Nakaya as a gift to myself. I have a few MBs but would like to venture off to another brand and it seems like Nakaya is well regarded here.
Any recs on specific models? I have EF and B nibs already from MB, so I'm pretty open to all types of FBs. Are there any flagship models/nibs you recommend? Also, any specific shops you would recommend in Tokyo to get the best price? Thanks all! |

I wish I could help more, but if you get to visit Nakaya do let us know about your experience.
I have several Nakayas and love all of them. I would suggest an expressive OM or CI nib to make things interesting. They are astonishing pens!

I doubt Nakaya will have you, but Itoya in Ginza have a very good selection of their pens.
