I have had Eyas for a few weeks. Not enough time to write a review but i'd like to share a few points about this pen.

 

 

 

Very nice drawing of inkpot & nice representation !

Thank you for the comments. Layout and inkpot came out ok but i still have a lot of work ahead on my penmanship.

 

After posting above message i decided to send a mail to Asapens – with the picture attached – inquiring for tips about starting. And they promptly & politely promised to get back to me soon.

I've usually tried pushing in the nib and feed if a Gama is a bit of a hard starter. Grab them together and gently push in. That mostly does it. All their nibs are really smooth. Sometimes pushing the tines apart a little bit, or the nib upwards from the feed, will also help. But even before that, just try priming the feed. Unscrew the barrel partway (3-4 turns) and hold the pen nib down above your ink pot (or something you would catch a few drops of ink in) and close it back. This forces a few drops of ink into and through the feed, priming it. Remember to wipe before putting your pen to paper, usually against the inkpot is enough.

Good luck! HTH.

The acrylic pens look great. As acrylic, they are turned right? As opposed to cast or injection molded. I wonder if the sections are black or body colored. Thanks for posting the photo.

Yes they are hand turned for sure. Other details i am not aware of -your question is best answered by ASA directly.

 

 

My best guess is that its colored avtar of the acrylic transparent jumbo

I got in contact with a Mr Subramaniam from Asapens regarding jowo nibs in their Gama pens. He told me he is expecting a shipment of jowo nibs any day now and will also be the jowo representative in India. The jowo nibs should be available as options on current pens and they are working on some new models.

Good Grief, that is a good looking pen. It evokes memories of a certain Eversharp pen from the 1950s. In the disassembled photo they have something dark protruding from the back of the section. Do you think that is the feed or something else? We will have to check on the availability of that pen. It looks great. I am curious as to the size, but it looks slender. Thanks for the info.

Probably the feed. It does look on the slim side, like the desk pen. https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/267615-ezhuthani-desk-pen-from-gama/

Then again, the Skyline wasn't exactly girthy either. Looks fantastic nonetheless.

I think it's the feed, and I find it worrisome. I had a Guider ED filled with a long feed like that, and I couldn't get it to flow ink to paper - hard start, skip, the whole bad thing. No matter what I tried. I ended up changing the feed for a shorter one, and that pen is now performing as it should.

If the feed is that long, I'd hope the channels are wide and deep!

If that's a cartridge that's a large pen!

      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
