Got mine yesterday. Love it. Ranga pens are always beautiful, but usually they're a little too big for me. This one, by Ranga standards a pocket pen, is short enough to be of practical use and the speedy uncapping is great.

 

I got the grey-cream-red premium ebonite with a Jowo nib. I might go back and get another with a Ranga nib.

Lined paper makes a prison of the page.

received mine today. shipping was very quick, but of course more expensive. The pen is considerably shorter than most Ranga pens but still thick enough to be comfortable. I got a Ranga nib and it is very smooth and wet.

I just received my pen in Burnt Orange, to which I fitted a Bock EF & inked it with Diamine Sargasso Sea after flushing it through with hot water.

It's just a darker blue, nothing that you could call exciting.

 

OK... You tempted me. I just ordered another. Not a lot of persuasion needed. I decided to have the Ranga Fine nib in this one.

Have many of us decided to have this option?

bbs, and everyone else here... you can't get these nice pens and not show them... haven't see one picture yet! :)

 

it's not too difficult, you need to use the upload tab at the top of the page.

do this

-click browse

 

-browse to your image on you HD (pic not larger than 2 Mb otherwise it won't load - before selecting it you can if needed open it in an image modifying app - which needs to be installed on your PC - and resize it)

 

-select it and click "open"

 

-click add image

 

-when the image loads, scroll to the bottom of the image, right click BBCode, copy

And mine arrived about 1 hour after reading this latest update.

 

Photo to come when I actually cut it out of the wrapping, flush, and fill it. Which may be a few days as I need to empty a slot in the carry-case to make room for a new pen.

Great color choices, bbs!

Thanks very much! Id been waiting for Mr Kandan to restock the Black/Orange for ages - glad it coincided with this model of pen!

 

I have to admit that although that one and the Grey/Red/Cream turned out really well, its always a bit of a lottery with these unique hand-made ebonites and the cap on the Blue/Green/Orange has very muted, almost obscured colours. The section is much brighter though, so when writing with it it looks great. And, I have to admit, although its a lot less bright than I had envisaged, it has a mysterious quality, smoky which I do really like. That happened with a green and orange ebonite, which was very different from what I was expecting but actually I came to love it more.

 

I do like this model, it may be my favourite Ranga now. And, of course, Im still tempted to maybe get another now the Group Buy has been extended....

 

Lets see what other colour pens have arrived, please!

Hi Mr Kandan MP, I have bought (quite) a few Ranga pens from you before, but mostly to be compatible with JoWo or Bock nibs - partly because I prefer to use cartridge converters with my pens. It looks like you're now offering these pens with Ranga nibs AND a cartridge converter. Can I please confirm with you:

 

(1) Can I now order a pen with a Ranga screw-in nib AND a converter?

(2) Do the Ranga screw-in nibs come with ebonite or plastic feed?

(3) Can you swap the Ranga screw-in nibs for Bock or JoWo units? Or do they have their own unique threading?

 

I wasn't going to join this group buy, until you offered it it with Premium Acrylic options - now I'm not sure that I can resist!

 

I will send this by direct email also, but thought you might like to answer my questions for other group buy people too.

 

Thanks again for these group buys: they hurt my wallet, but they warm my heart!

Here are some photos of mine in Red Woodgrain with a GP Fine Bock nib. The quality is excellent. I love the fact that the cap comes off in less than one turn! Great pen, Mr. Kandan!

      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
