Kim Nova fountain pen.

 

The barrel does not have threads. The cap slips on. Made of ebonite, so the 'slip on' isn't as good as with regular plastic barrel pens.

 

I didn't think that a thread less barrel would make any difference, but I must say, it has a really good feel.

 

The nib was modified as per my request by the ebay seller (krishnapens).

 

Broad, wet and buttery smooth :)

Wonderful, thanks for sharing.

 

Is there a risk the pen uncaps when being carried in shirt pocket? Is it tightly closed when capped? I like the shape.

Hi Hari.

 

Yes, there is a risk of the cap coming off. I put it in a pen pouch which sits in my bag.

 

It is tightly closed when capped, but if you give the cap a little bit of a wiggle, you can feel it getting slowly dislodged.

 

I've never had a problem with the ink drying up in the nib because of the cap issue.

Nice innovation. Seems the barrel & section has exact mapping to keep the original design of the ebonite rod.

I put my savings to test

Lamy & Pilot FPs the Best

No more I even think of the rest

(Preference Fine and Extra Fine Nibs)

Pen is meant for writing - not for looking :-)

Yes, I bought it on ebay.in (krishnapens). The seller has turned on "private mode" for feedback settings, not sure why.

Yes it does have proper mapping. The seller told me that a bunch of these were manufactured for a customer who liked holding them higher than most people and did not want threads to get in the way.

      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
