Beautiful pens Prasad ji, enjoy writing them.

 

ASA has executed very well. I too have ordered the matte black finish with a M nib. I chose to not go for the engraving though.

 

The ASA and Sniper engraving on the barrel is excellently done. I had forgotten that it is a 3-in-1 filling system!!

 

Regards

Rakshit.

Thanks Rakshit,

I got one pen for myself and one for my son. Don't want him stealing mine so I got them engraved :D

 

Have to mention one thing though. This is my first hooded pen. In my eagerness to start writing with it, I loaded it up immediately with some Bril Turquoise Blue.

I dipped the hooded section into the bottle and filled the convertor.

 

This stains the Hooded area. I guess if you use it with a convertor you have to remove the convertor, fill it with ink separately and then fit it into the pen. This will avoid the staining of the Hood area.

 

Lesson learned :) and anyway I plan to use this as an eyedropper as it will be a daily writing pen and I need a decent amount of ink in it.

The pen does look great. Anyone in the US received their pen(s) yet? Getting a little antsy here, but in a good way. :)

Just today I received a message informing me that my pen has shipped.

I found it (the message) basically right away, but, regardless of that, Gmail had sorted it into my Spam folder....Yeah, that's still a thing these days apparently. Maybe this happened to others as well? You'd have to give yours a look-over.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
