A Sandalwood Custom From Fosfor Pens Made By Manojd

Recommended Posts

This happens to be my first wooden pen. I have a pilot kaedeon the way from japan. The credit goes to manoj he is getting better everyday. I am worried about staining it or getting scratches that's what keeps me from buying wooden pens.

People give me strange looks when I whip out my pen and smell it.

I have the Kaede, wonderful pen. It is compressed resin impregnated maple wood, so there should be no worries. Here is my Kaede along with some others:

The two pens from Fosfor pens India arrived in two nice boxes. They are beautiful. They are big, robust in the hand and write very good. I'm happy! :)

This thread has not been good for my bank balance. I have just placed an order with Manoj for a sandalwood pen yesterday too. You're a bad influence Hari.

 

For those who are pondering placing an order with Manoj I would say out that he has been an absolute delight to deal with. I cannot wait for my pen. Customer service every bit as good as Brian Grey and Richard Binder.

IME, Hari is the enabler-in-chief in this forum :-) But well done, and the idea of getting a pen in sandalwood was brilliant. I just followed suit.

 

I agree that Manoj is super to work with. I look forward to getting more pens from him.

The pen now sports a new Silver clip made by Manoj. You can also see how my pen has aged, but is still as fragrant....

Is that shape a snake head? Your pen is lovely, and it seems so very dark brown.

yes.

I don't know about that, but I had the same thought...

 

Yes, the pen has grown and developed (metaphorically)and is now a favorite.

Thanks Sagar. Yes as an artist I think you can be a very successful pen maker. Edited by hari317

      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
