Indian Oem Nibs


Dip n Scratch

Recommended Posts

Who are the main players?

I have seen that a lot of nibs bear no makers name that come as the OEM fit in a pen.

You see IRIDIUM POINT and a five-petal flower or a circle with IRIDIUM & POINT above & below.

That's what I have seen so far. No trademark to identify their origins.

 

The OEM nib on a Indian pen is usually a Fine. You can get broader stuff as a after-market upgrade, though I suspect that has been driven by online sales to the rest of the world. I guess the Fine point is best suited for writing in languages native to India.

Unfortunately it seems that developing the Ambitious Web site has not been a high priority, or it has been interfered with. There is nothing beyond that page.

The Kanwrite site is also somewhat under-developed. It does not reflect what they offer, which is a shame. If you make contact with them they are very helpful.

A shame really. Where else would you look to in order identify the output of the two biggest nib makers.

After-market Ambitious nibs have the trademark capital A in a circle. I have no idea what sort of a range they make. The only example I have encountered is a plain plated steel example with a medium tip.

BTW:Thanks to member mehandiratta for selling them to me.

I don't know if Ambitious make nibs without their trademark for 3rd party pen makers

      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
