Have had this one for about 5 yrs, and periodically put it into rotation. With some micromesh my nib is rather smooth. Like the looks of this pen. Stamped on my nib is the word Bookworm.

@sanyalsoumitra, I'm intrigued: if I recall correctly, you mentioned purchasing some of these fountain pens in Hong Kong? Anywhere in particular you'd recommend, if I wanted to check it out? The "mainstream" pen shops I've dropped in on here sell the usual Japanese and European pens - at prices I don't find tempting!

Any ex-Hongkong pen that I had bought were from e-bay, I have no idea about pen shops location in Hongkong. Sorry, I could not help you!!

What is this lovely ink?

 

And, oh, very cute cartoon sketch with the Hero 529, which now has my interest.

My latest ebook.   And not just for Halloween!
 

My other pen is a Montblanc.

The ink is Sulekha Crimson Violet, it is a local Kolkata product. Thanks you like the cartoon!

      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
