Any chance I can get the grip (section) diameters for these models?

I'm so excited about my first Ranga (Bakul black Model 8), my first group buy and my first post on FPN :)

 

What would be the approximate arrival time for an order placed now (shipped within India)? And till when will the group buy go on?

I only ask because I might go for more pens after getting the first one.

Hi

 

I know it's not listed as an option but I love the torpedo shape of the Model 8 and because I collect demonstrator pens I wondered if it would be possible to order it as an acrylic demonstrator ideally with polished finials but without would also be good.

 

Thanks

I've always wanted a Giant Bamboo demonstrator - this seems like the perfect opportunity.

 

Got the one with the matte/bakul outside, polished finials and a broad nib. Excited! :D

 

Thank you for coordinating this effort!!

Gryphon 1911...that's the Demonstrator I have and It's, by far, the best pen I've ever had. Not a lick of trouble since I've had it. Beautiful quality and awesome writer. I have the JOWO Broad (awesome)...but your Bock Nib should be even better.

Yes this is 3 in 1 mechanism.. you can use it as eyedropper, with converter or cartridge

 

Thank you! This makes it so much easier to order!

 

I have submitted forms for one regular Bamboo demo and one Model 8 in Rose Red-Mustard.

Usually the pen is shipped within 4 to 5 weeks within India after payment..

And the group buy will be active till 7th July

In the Bamboo's link, it states

 

Regular Size - Barrel has 16 mm dia & Length is 5.75 inches when capped
Giant Size - Barrel has 17 mm to 18.75 mm (depends on ebonite rod colour) dia & Length is 7 inches when capped

Neither describes the grip diameter. The Designer has similar info.

In the model 8's link, it states

 

  • Length Capped - 146 mm approx
  • Cap Dia - 14 mm
  • Barrel Dia - 12.5 mm
  • Hourglass shape Grip Section

No mention of the grip/section width. The Zeal is described as

 

The dimension is 5.75 inches length. the dia is 16 mm

I assume that 16mm is the diameter at the body's widest, not at the grip.

I told myself I wasn't going to do it - I tried to convince myself I have enough pens already :unsure: , but...

 

I have a few spare Bock nib assemblies, that simply aren't getting used - and I like the look of the Model 8 pen (though not so much the clip) :rolleyes: . So I've ordered one, without nib and without clip, in the teal-and-black 'special' ebonite.

Yep - and I hold you (partly) responsible, @mehandiratta. You've cost me a pretty penny with all these group buys! ;)

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
