Customer Reviews
This is my latest addition to my collection. It is by far the best instrument among the best. The nib is smooth and the ink flow never fails. The craftsmanship and art are exquisite, too. The original price was the best among the Internet sellers. On top of that, thanks to my birthday discount (offered by Pen Chalet), I was able to purchase it. The experience with Pen Chalet has no equal, they are the best in serving you the items and in customer service. Thank you!

The Namiki Blue is as good a workhorse daily-use blue as you'll find, attractive and vibrant with even a little water resistance.

Have only used this ink once in my Waterman Hemisphere Med nib; no complaints on that; a standard blue good for everyday writing. However, when cleaning the pen and the cartridge, it did stain the light colored sink in my bathroom where I usually clean out my pens. (Not sure what the sink is made out of - maybe some kind of acrylic; not glazed porcelain.) The stain pretty much, but not 100%, came out after several cleanings, but now I know to clean out this ink in the kitchen sink which is stainless steel and has a wider drain opening. Attracted by the design of the glass bottle.

Exceeding all expectations! If you can afford $1,000 dollar pen, this is the one to acquire.

Excellently performing ink. Pleasing shade of blue. Really like the unusual shaped bottle with the internal mechanism which aides in refilling pen.

The pen seems uninspiring and normal, however this is not the case. In the typical Japenese style, while the product is understated it has a elegance and functionality that has been unmatched. It also fits in well in a office style setting, though the pen may be too wet to write on cheap quality paper, feathering is an issue sometimes.
I don't regret my purchase and the (pen chalet's) customer service was excellent when I wanted a different size nib.

Any company that adds value to their product by excellent design will get my vote anytime. I haven't used the ink yet, because I just like looking at the bottle on my vintage oak desk.

Writes smoothly. Perfection. I got the fine,since the M wrote too wet (ghosted/feathered) on my cheap office paper.
Thanks alot to the PenChalet team for their exceptional customer service.

This is a great ink in a cute bottle. The ink appears to be the same that comes in the Pilot cartridges, and it works well in every pen I've tried and most paper.

The standard Namiki inks arrive in easy-to-fill-from bottles, reasonably priced, well behaved, and possessing some water resistance (at least the black and blue). For more colors, try the more expensive Iroshizuku offerings made also by Pilot.

I received my Namiki/pilotNippon Art Golden Pheasants Fountain Pen from PenChalet last week. A GRAIL pen! 5.5" of lacquered brass,2 flying pheasants & a bunch of bugs for pheasant food. Perfect art work. Beautiful #10 M nib,broad shouldered,some flex,nice wet line. Con 70 converter easily loaded Pilot Tsukushi ink & then writing bliss. I admit I like Namiki/Pilot high end pens, consistently great build, nibs & they write every time! Pen Chalet offered a great price, quick delivery & the best service in the internet business. I've been a customer for 7 years & I highly recommend Ron & the rest of the fine folks at Pen Chalet. I hope the pheasants don't eat the bugs & fly off hunting another meal! Wichita Lawyer

What can be said about this pen. It is beautiful. The silver is bright. The pen has some heft but feels good in the hand. I have yet to write with it, but I have confidence in the brand. Thank you Pen Chalet for making this pen available at a great price.

The blue is a modest blue - not sensational. It is somewhat water resistant but not for water colorists, I think. I have a couple pens that need the flow characteristics.
