Thank you for another lovely and useful review of a beautiful Indian fountain pen.

 

Do you have any news of how it is working for you as an eyedropper?

 

I am looking at the ASA Pens website and it seems that the 1.1mm italic is no longer available. Or does one need to write to them to ask for this? I also don't seen the option for engraving the cap.

 

Any help you can offer would be appreciated.

 

Thanks again,

The section of the pen is finished in black shiny finish which is quite okay and provides for sturdy grip. However i would have liked it even more if the section would also have been given a matte finish.

Your excellent account of your minimalist bakul Asa Patriot pen has captured my attention, I am enjoying my black Bakul Nauka at least partly because the texture underlines its sweeping lines and adds to the sensual feeling of the absence of any break between section and body, so I completely understand your wish to have this texture right down to the section, even if in this case the Patriots threads do break the sweep. Perhaps it is possible to ask for this specifically, unless for cost reasons, the section has to be common to all Patriot pens, bakul or polished?

Indeed, I enjoy this bakul texture so much I have also ordered a similarly textured Ranga 8b in the group buy, and I am hoping the matte quality will also carry on to the section. Now the minimalist design of the Asa Patriot cries out to me to add one of these every day writers to my still small bakul pen collection, if that is the section could also be similarly textured. Thank you anyway for pointing this out, and for a very interesting review.

      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
