{"product_id":"nakaya-17mm-long-cigar-heki-tamenuri","title":"Nakaya 17mm Long Cigar Heki-tamenuri","description":"\u003cp\u003eNakaya's Long Cigar in Heki-tamenuri is a classic writing instrument, and now this same understated beauty can be ordered in the larger 17mm diameter size. The standard size Long pen has a diameter of 15mm, while this version adds an additional 2mm. Though this may seem like a small difference, the extra diameter is surprisingly significant in adding greater heft and dimension to this pen. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nakaya 17mm Long Cigar Heki-tamenuri fountain pen is handcrafted from ebonite and Urushi lacquer, and comes standard with your choice of solid gold 14k nib.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs always, this Nakaya pen body is made from hand-turned ebonite hard rubber which is then layered with Urushi lacquer in the Wajima region of Japan. Ebonite hard rubber is a strong and durable material - vintage fountain pens using this material have lasted for a hundred years and more. The vivid green under-color will become more apparent as the outer layers mature with use over time, adding depth to the earthy Heki-tamenuri finish. The extensive surface area of this 17mm Long Cigar pen provides an excellent showcase for the nuanced color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNakaya pens can be filled with bottled fountain pen ink using the provided converter. They can also use Platinum brand ink cartridges.\n\u003cbr\u003eNakaya 14k nibs are well-suited to customizations including Stub, Cursive Italic, and Left Oblique, as well as the modification for added flexibility.\n\u003cbr\u003eDecorative rice paper, a simple solid softwood shipping box decorated with Japanese Kanji script, a starter box of Platinum ink cartridges, and a fabric pen \"\"kimono\"\" are all included with this pen, giving this pen a lovely presentation. Sensible and elegant packaging has long been a hallmark of the Nakaya brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNakaya pens are individually handcrafted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnless requested otherwise, each pen or nib you purchase from us will be carefully examined, tested, and optimized for your personal writing characteristics before it ships.
