Beautiful pens Prasad ji, enjoy writing them.

 

ASA has executed very well. I too have ordered the matte black finish with a M nib. I chose to not go for the engraving though.

 

The ASA and Sniper engraving on the barrel is excellently done. I had forgotten that it is a 3-in-1 filling system!!

 

Regards

Rakshit.

Thanks Rakshit,

I got one pen for myself and one for my son. Don't want him stealing mine so I got them engraved :D

 

Have to mention one thing though. This is my first hooded pen. In my eagerness to start writing with it, I loaded it up immediately with some Bril Turquoise Blue.

I dipped the hooded section into the bottle and filled the convertor.

 

This stains the Hooded area. I guess if you use it with a convertor you have to remove the convertor, fill it with ink separately and then fit it into the pen. This will avoid the staining of the Hood area.

 

Lesson learned :) and anyway I plan to use this as an eyedropper as it will be a daily writing pen and I need a decent amount of ink in it.

The pen does look great. Anyone in the US received their pen(s) yet? Getting a little antsy here, but in a good way. :)

Just today I received a message informing me that my pen has shipped.

I found it (the message) basically right away, but, regardless of that, Gmail had sorted it into my Spam folder....Yeah, that's still a thing these days apparently. Maybe this happened to others as well? You'd have to give yours a look-over.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
