Okay, Massdrop.
We're WELL over 200 votes on the Pilot Custom 823, and it's even received a lot of votes in polls started by other people. We have proven that the demand exists.
Your turn... are you on it?

Hi @jkarlson and everyone who participated,
We've closed this poll because Pilot is not interested in making Namiki products available on Massdrop right now, and we're not sure if and when that might change. We've made a number of attempts to move this forward and will continue to try and make this happen.
I've moved the Conid to a new poll for small European pen makers: https://www.massdrop.com/vote/fountain-pens---small-producers-of-europe
Thanks for participating, I'm sorry that it's not something that I can deliver on right now, but we'll keep working on Namiki products like the Custom 823.

Thanks for responding, Jonas. We gave it our best shot, and it didn't work out.
the W nib (weaverly) on a 823 would be the best of the best

The Custom 823 is awesome and definitely worth its price (and more). If we can get it in Clear or Smoke finish, rather than Amber, that'd be pretty fantastic.
Here's a good video on how to fill the 823 to 100% capacity; about 2.2 ml of ink (36% more than cartridges or converters). Mathematically speaking, that's CRAZY capacity.
A really thorough review of this great pen.
I've been told the Pilot Custom 823 'punches well above its weight' (i.e., provides value for dollar far higher than competing products costing substantially more).
