Any Flex Nib Indian Pen

[mehandiratta]

Any idea about the flex nib pen made in india or the flex nib with feeds??

[vig2432]

I can think of only Fountain Pen Revolution

I'd think any pen with a Sheaffer-type feed (such as the Kims) could be fitted with a flex nib, from FPR or Noodler's, and function as such. Or you could get some of those European vintage pens with flex nibs. You could even try it with a standard feed, and maybe dig out the channel and grooves a little.

I've found that the #6 flex from FPR goes into my Indian pens just fine. I currently use it in a Wality 71J with the stock ebonite feed. Works great.

I asked Sk about flex nibs. He said ambitious company produces full flex nibs

I picked up a FPR Guru a few months back when it was on offer with their flex nib, I found it to work almost identically to the Noodlers Nib creaper. I say almost identically because I found it worked a bit better than my Nib Creaper.

I have had good results mating the Indian Ebonite bodies to vintage flexible nibs. Here is one such example that I did some 3 years back(Deccan Advocate with Waterman's no 5 stub flex nib):

FPN, some one was selling some nibs here, I bought a few.

Hari- that is a wonderful combination. Now I wish I had skills like that to have such a beautiful marriage of pen and nib.

Thanks Jayant, if you have a spare lonely nib that you would like transplanted, feel free to drop me an email and I will do it for you.

The pen has a traditional Indian feeder. Does it keep up with the ink flow required for flex pens

Thank you my friend. I will let you know.

Yes, simpler the feed, better it is for flex nibs and the stock Indian Ebonite feeder is simple enough with a generously wide ink channel, very suitable for the vintage flex nibs. Of course, one has to tweak/tune the nib and feeder combination for best performance.
