Krishna Lyrebird. After Two Years Of Use.

[samir]

at first i apologize for very bad quality pictures. this photographs are captured with my phone camera, which is not very good, and i am a very bad photographer.

 

two years ago i bought a krishna lyrebird. kriashna lyrebird is very similar to kim and co. pens,made of ebonite, multi channel feed to avoid burping and solid construction. no single part of this pen is thinner than 2mm. it is almost built like a tank.

 

when first arrived, this pen leaked slightly from section-barrel joint. as did not have any silicone grease with me, i heat set both part and problem gone.

 

nib is medium, 35mm,size 6 (indian size 10), RCMB grind(slightly upturned tip like legacy heritage or some visconti). it is very wet, very smooth but not generic smooth. it has a character. i use this pen mostly as my daily writer for last two years.

 

just wanted to share with you. and a very big thank you Dr. Sreekumar. Respect sir, to you and your honorable master.

Thank you for sharing, that seems like a beautiful pen, the pictures do show that.

I have two of his pens, and it was my understanding that when he started he would not turn the pen himself but rather do some deep magic on the nib of a Kim pen, which would then become from a merely nice or good writer, a great writer. On the later pens he does do some body work, I have a lacquered ebonite pen he made, but primarily, he seems to be a nib master...

Enjoy the pen!
