Closed - Mega Group Buy - Ranga Pens With Bock Nibs ( 5 Models : Giant Bamboo, Bamboo, Model 8, Designer, Zeal)

Recommended Posts

Greetings and thank you Mr. Vaibhav. This makes two in a row (4c ED is awesome). My birthday present to me is as follows. :D

 

Form submitted:

Standard Bamboo Demonstrator

Polished finials

EF two tone

No clip

 

I have never used Bock nib. How is the EF? I hear springy, wet and more toward medium-fine. Is this true- did I make a mistake in choice?

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.

 

That's great to know. I've quite a few JOWO nibs but no Bock. It will be good to get one and it is nice to know that it has the potential to be nicer!

Gryphon...if you ever have the opportunity, try the Bock Titanium nib. They sell the size #6 Bock Titanium at Karas Kustoms (for their Ink fountain pen) which should be able to be installed in your new Bamboo Demonstrator (a screw in nib). It's a very sweet nib.

The zeal flat end v rounded end picture seems flipped. 1-5 seem rounded and 6-10 are flat but the descriptions are switched.

 

Ordered 1 flat ended zeal, gold clip, EF nib dualtone, special rose red/mustard yellow ripple matte

Currently waiting for my 4C to arrive.

 

Don't really need another FP but it is hard to ignore this buy for ebonite with a Bock nib.

Congratulations on your purchase and thank you for being part of group buy..

Actually I have never used EF..

Bock nibs are certainly the best of the lot..

Hi any news

 

Al

Hi Iam sorry for late reply..

 

Currently in this group buy for model 8, the manufacturer is concentrating on ebonite only..

 

Maybe in future he might come up with demo model of the same..

I hope not Cross Foot, I like my nibs extra fine, the finer the better.

Hi Scribs. I'm not sure I want that fine. :unsure: When I gain more experience we may have to debate this over a Pot of Lapsang Souchong. :thumbup: However, I trust it will have more character than the Jowo #5 EF on my Edison Pearlette. Love the pen but not too excited about the nib. I will stay the course and see; might even check out their TI nib.

Hey is there a blogpost to help me choose the nib? Noob here. sorry

 

If you're looking for info on the nib sizes, I'd suggest checking out the Nib Nook on Goulet Pens' website - the Karas Kustoms INK uses a standard Bock #6 steel nib, exactly the same as the nibs Ranga Pens are selling for this Group Buy.

A pot of Lapsang and talking about pens, sounds like a mighty fine idea :)

 

If it's character you're after Cross Foot, maybe saving for one of Jowo's solid gold nibs might be an idea for your Pearlette? I've not got an Edison myself, not yet, maybe one day...

Thanks for this Jamerelbe. I didn't have a clue which other pens might use Bock nibs to check out widths at the Goulet Nook. :)

One question - are the Bock nibs generic Bock nibs (i.e. those used by Kara Kustoms) or rebranded Bock nibs?

      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
