Penlux has just announced the new Penlux Masterpiece KODACHI series, featuring the all-new Kodachi nib. This exceptional nib has been meticulously designed and handcrafted by the world-renowned fountain pen master, Mr. Yukio Nagahara (The Nib Shaper), whose decades of experience and artistry have made him a legend in the field.

The Kodachi nib is a true masterpiece, available for the first time in either 18k solid gold or stainless steel. Each nib is not only crafted but also hand-tuned by Mr. Nagahara himself, ensuring a writing experience that is as exquisite as it is unique. Whether you prefer the luxurious feel of gold or the sleek durability of steel, the Kodachi nib offers unparalleled performance and elegance in every stroke.

Adding to the allure, the Penlux Masterpiece Kodachi series is available in two stunning new color designs. The “Black Belt” model features a mesmerizing metallic gray and black swirl pattern, perfectly complemented by a black clip and trim for a sleek, modern look. The “Green Velvet” model, on the other hand, showcases a rich green and dark green pattern, adorned with elegant gold trim that exudes timeless sophistication. As a mark of authenticity and collaboration, each pen has “Penlux X Nagahara” etched into the side of the body, a meaningful mark of the collaboration that brought these pens to life.

Crafted from high-density Italian made pearlescent PMMA material developed exclusively by Penlux, each pen is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and innovative design that define the brand. Of course, like every Penlux pen, the Masterpiece Kodachi has Penlux’s own piston-fill ink system, so there are no messy cartridges or converters to deal with.

Each Kodachi pen comes with a certificate of authenticity, signed by both Mr. Hsu, the owner of Penlux, and Mr. Nagahara, to guarantee the highest level of craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Nib Details

  • KN – Kodachi Needlepoint: A true needlepoint tip for ultra precise writing. Creates a line of uniform thickness in all directions.
  • KF – Kodachi Fine: Shaped like the tip of a sword. Essentially the same as the Naginata Togi created by Nagahara Nobuyoshi (father to Yukio Nagahara; a.k.a. Nagahara Senior). This nib creates a thin vertical stroke and a thick horizontal stroke. The thickness of each stroke changes depending on the angle the pen is held.
  • KM – Kodachi Medium: Same shape as the KF, just slightly broader in both vertical and horizontal strokes.
