Nakaya Decapod Writer Urushi Fountain Pen Review
Channel: Inkquiring Minds
Date: 2022-11-12

Today's fountain pen review is only possible because of Murray MacKay who generously loaned his Nakaya Decapod Writer for review. I talk about the parts and features of the pen, provide some size comparisons and measurements, and then do a writing sample. After the writing sample, I talk about what I like and what I don't like about the pen. Please feel free to use the chapters provided below to skip to various parts of the review.
