These are photos from when I first took delivery of my Nakaya, an aka tamenuri (red urushi lacquer) Neo-Standard, from back in 2016. The nib was an SF with added flex cuts, and though it ran dry fairly quick, when it was primed it wrote in an almost brush-like manner. It was very unique, but difficult to use every day, which is part of why I got rid of it.

    Beautiful pen.

    Question for the more experienced: is this a case of the feed not being able to keep up with ink usage?

    That’s a beautiful color and it looks good on the Neo Standard. I have a similar nib on a portable and I enjoy it, but it’s definitely soft.
