Friends, Are you filling the pen more than 2/3 capacity, with eyedroppers you need to do that to prevent leaks, putting in a few drops of ink will invariably cause the pen to leak because a vacuum does not build up inside the tank.

Nice review on a nice pen, thanks.

I recently had this same pen from Steve. Is is a lovely, lovely pen. Very light, the ebonite section gives a nice grip.

I had some issues at the beginning. When I started using it, every six-seven words a big fat drop of ink would fall down the nib. I put some silicone in the threads, but this didn't stop it. I removed and set again the nib, and the problem was gone.

I do not care too much about the nib, so I rummaged around and found that the Waterman's Ideal 5A fits perfectly. Sweet upgrade.

I wouldn't mind getting one or two more. I wonder if they are still making them. Ashishwakhlu, are they still in production?

That's great news. I know that AllWriteNow is clearing out their stock. Is anyone going to take up the mantle in the US? I am not planning on purchasing more at the moment, but I do get a lot of compliments on the Mani and Marala, and I'd like to be able to direct folks.
