Just a teaser - showing my little Lotus pen collection. More details to follow on my blog.

  • The red one is a Virat with which I was introduced to Lotus Pens. It has a Bock #8. Inked with Diamine Royal Blue.
  • The big one is a 12-faceted pen, about 150mm length and around 21-23mm diameter with a Bock #8. It just arrived some minutes ago. This style is new at Lotus Pens
  • The third one, the blue one, is the Lotus octa and many people who tried it, instantaneously liked the format. Inked with Montblanc's Midnight blue.
  • The fourth one, the yellowish green one, is the Lotus Corrundum. Also this one has just arrived.
  • The last pen, is a Lotus Vikrant made from HoneyDew celluloid.
  • The first four pens are made from Japanese ebonite (Nikko Ebonite).
  • Pen 3-5 have Jowo steel nibs in EF, my favorite nib for everyday writing.

The pen pouches and the pen case are also made by Lotus Pens.

 

I have placed the two new arrivals together with a Montblanc 149 so you can judge the dimensions better.

Thank you, Arun Singhi, for these marvellous, high-quality pens.

Very nice set of pens you have there.

Lotus continues to surprise me. I appreciate their appetite to experiment and accommodate custom designs.

 

Here are a few pens that my brother commissioned through them.

MKE - These are wonderful! I have 2 Lotus in the mail for me right now. Do you know the name of the huge 12-faceted model in ripple ebonite? Thanks!

There is no name because Arun made that pen for me. But give him the link to this page and he will know what you are talking about.

      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
