[WTS][CONUS] Grail Destash - Pelikan, Nakaya, Leonardo, Kyuseido, and more

($250 - $3,800)

Looking to sell some of the pricier pens in my collection to free up some funds. These are all great pens that I've found I don't use as often as I should to justify keeping them. Hoping to find new homes for these beauties!

Prices are in USD and include USPS ground shipping to CONUS.

SOLD $3800 Pelikan M1000 Ivy and Komon <EF>

  • This is a maki-e limited edition of the M1000 released last year. It has an ivy vine/leaf theme and features variations on the komon pattern. Limited edition of 123 pens.
  • Rating this as a [D] because I replaced the nib unit that comes with the pen with a 18k extra fine. Besides the nib swap, I'd rate this as [A2]. It's only been inked twice and comes with the original box and papers.

SOLD $2600 Pelikan M1000 Black Infinity <M>

  • Another M1000 limited edition, this is the latest in Pelikan's raden line-up. Raden strips are arranged in a checkerboard pattern across the cap and barrel, with silver dust sprinkled in the negative space and on the piston knob. Limited edition of 400 pens.
  • Rating this as [A2]. It has its original 18k medium nib and has only been inked a few times. Comes with original box and papers.

SOLD $1600 Nakaya Decapod Twist Aka-Tamenuri <SM>

  • A beautiful example of Nakaya's tamenuri urushi work. The pen has 10 facets that spiral around the pen and line up between the cap and barrel. This particular pen has a ruthenium (black) plated 14k nib in soft medium.
  • Rating this as [B] conservatively, though probably closer to [A2]. Comes with original box and papers and a Platinum converter.

SOLD $900 Nakaya Cigar Long Midori-Tamenuri <SF>

  • Another tamenuri finish pen from Nakaya, this is the cigar long model. Like the decapod twist, this also has a ruthenium plated 14k nib, though this one is a soft fine.
  • Rating as a [B]-[A2] like the decapod, only been inked twice. Comes with original box and papers and a Platinum converter.

SOLD $1250 Leonardo Momento Zero Grande Minimalist Black/Green Tamenuri <EF>

  • Yet another urushi pen, this time from Leonardo Officina Italiana. This is a limited edition of 10 pens made by PenTeo in a green tamenuri finish. Piston filler with 1.5mL capacity, and a 14k gold #8 extra fine nib.
  • Rating as [A2]. Only inked a few times and comes with original box and papers.

SOLD $520 Atelier Lusso Carina Hapalua 15 <F>

  • This is a pen from Atelier Lusso, an independent maker that does some stunning abalone shell work. This is a cartridge/converter pen with a #8 steel nib in fine. It features ice blue paua abalone shell on the barrel, midnight blue resin, and bronze trim/clip.
  • Rating this as a [B]. I've only inked this once or twice, but there is a bit of oxidation on the bronze trim, though that should polish up easily. Comes with original box, pen sleeve, and converter.

$700 AbleSnail Engraved Sterling Silver Pen <EF>

  • Another pen from a small maker, this is from Greg Wiszniowski AKA AbleSnail, a Polish silversmith. The pen is made from blue ebonite with a sterling silver overlay on the barrel that is hand engraved with a diamond pattern. Cartridge/converter pen with a steel Jowo #6 extra fine nib.
  • Rating this [B]. Only inked twice, some micro scratches and light tarnishing of the sterling silver barrel that should polish up easily if desired.

SOLD $650 Kyuseido Kakari FS <Sankakusen>

  • The Kakari is a "bulkfiller" style pen from Kyuseido in Japan. It features a detachable piston head that allows for a very large fill of 4mL or so. This pen has a medium Sankakusen grind from CY, the owner of Kyuseido, which is similar to Sailor's Naginata-togi grind. This grind is designed to emulate brush strokes for Asian calligraphy, with the line width varying depending on the pen angle.
  • Rating this a [B] conservatively. Only inked once, though there are some light marks on the titanium cap/knob from use. Comes with original box.

$300 Pilot Vanishing Point Seashore <M>

  • This is the 2024 limited edition Pilot VP. Rating [A1], never been inked. Comes with original CON-40 converter and box. Nib is the standard 14k medium vanishing point nib for LEs.

$250 Ensso Piuma PM4 <F>

  • This is a limited edition offering from Piuma that released a few years back. Made from Jonathon Brooks' Primary Manipulation 4 resin and featuring a 14k fine Bock #6 nib.
  • [A1], never been inked. Comes with original converter.
