Nagasawa Kobe Affection

Vanness Pens recently teamed up with Nagasawa Kobe and is now carries their special editions in the United States. At the San Francisco Show I picked up a Nagasawa Kobe Affection Kyomachi Legend Blue 1911FL in broad.

The pen is blue-purple or “blurple” with subtle flecks of glitter and 5.5 inches long when capped. The cap is a screw cap. The pen weighs 26.8 grams.

The pen is 6 inches when posted.

The cap posts securely with no gap.

Now let’s talk about the cap. It’s 2.6 inches long with a clip. The cap band is engraved with Nagasawa Pen Style.

The broad 21K gold nib is engraved with Nagasawa Kobe and their rooster logo. The nib is numbered.

The section is a slim 1/3 of an inch and has a very discreet step to the threads and barrel.

The nib has a little bit of feedback, which is normal for a Sailor. It’s a very stiff steel nib, no softness or flex to it.

When inked with Monteverde Peace the writing was smooth with no flow issues.

With cursive again I had no issues with the nib.

There are a few inks that match the pen well.

I really enjoyed this pen, it’s a great size for my hands and the metal section wasn’t as slippery as I expected. I would absolutely purchase this pen again!
