Manu Propria Pens - Special Clip Roller

[manupropria]

Hi, it's me again.

A new custom made pen ready for shipping. A "Shibui" type Roller Pen with a "Namban-Kawari-Nuri" urushi lacquer with a forged "tetsugi" iron nail clip. The clip is coated with urushi respectively urushi is burned into the surface on high temperature. This technique is called "Kintsuke" and is used to seal iron cast tea kettles and many other things in Japan.

Enjoy weekend

Beautiful and inspiring work as I've come to expect when I see a thread by you. May I ask what ink refill you used?

 

[manupropria]

Thank you. This is a roller pen, no ink refill

Another beauty, really like the clip.

I'm familiar with the Schmidt Cartridge Rollerball but your nib looks to be too small for it. I didn't know others were available.

Oh, so lovely !!!! . The clip really is attractive too !!!!

 

[manupropria]

Thank you.
Pete, the entire pen with the nib is hand made

How can I "Enjoy weekend", when I do not have a pen made by you?

I know!! I will start making plans to correct that deficiency in my life. This pen is very cool, with the subtle bands seen through the upper urushi layers, which I realize will gradually appear more prominently as time passes, and the urushi decides to reveal more. :wink:

I have even more respect for you now. I'll have to stick to the Schmidt's when I get to making again.

Is there ANYTHING that you are not skilled in?:biggrin:

Beautifully done! Your patience with obtaining the highest level of perfection in pen making, finish and now clips is amazing.

Absolutely stunning!

Glad to see you do rollerballs too. The clip actually seems a bit much, but that's just me. The lacquer work more than makes up for it anyway. Another outstanding urushi pen.
