Khyati Sketching Pen


flummoxed

Recommended Posts

I've read about this being the problem with eye-droppers, but the other EDs dont seem to do this even when the ink is only half. This pen seems to do it even when full!

Did you try heat setting the nib&feed?

 

Mine is at 1/4 full now. No problem of burping yet.

Very nice sketch.

 

 

I've been using it since I've received it, apart from the very thin line that it provides, I must confess that there are absolutely no other advantages to it. I've had trouble fixing the problem of blobs of ink dropping on the paper while using it (Burping isn't it?).

 

So far I've been using it as a dip pen.

 

However, even for sketching, cant say how added benefit this "sektching pen" may give over a comparably better fountain pen.

I think its a marketing strategy. Selling something old by a new name.

I'll try it later tonight. I've seen a few guides here on FPN on heat setting, anything in particular I need to keep an eye out for with these pens?

FPN guides are very good.

 

Before heat setting, clean the nib and feed thoroughly. Cant think of anything else.

Sorry about reviving an old thread, but I'm happy! Managed to fix it finally! No more burping.

Edit: The blotting is from the paper, it worked fun ne on slightly thicker paper and produced pretty fine lines too.

Khyati sketch pen ebay seller has finally managed to sell and ship abroad, I ordered a set of two wich took quite a while to be delivered to France.The pens are well made, certainly by hand on a lathe, the ebonite is mate has no dents or scratches or any flaw, the only weak part is the nib I swapped for a flex FPR.The nib itself equals the price of the two pens, but the ink flow is right, and the girth of the pens, between ahab and neponset from noodler s, makes them a confortable tool for drawing.A real deal, for that price how can they make any profit ?

I have 2 of them. One black, and 1 Brown.

 

They had the same problem with burping, but I have changed their feed, and they work perfectly.

 

Very nice little pens.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
