Hari, you've just burst a little romantic bubble about Ranga pens being made from Indian ebonite.

Oh, have I? The regular Ebonite is Indian and the Premium ebonite rod is imported I believe. Mookli's pen has the premium ebonite. HTH.

In case you wish to write to me, pls use ONLY email by clicking here. I do not check PMs. Thank you.

Hi All,


I've been enjoying my pen now for a few weeks. It's a fav among my daily writers. The size is just right, making the feel in the hand a real pleasure. I find the shape elegant and enjoy that the cap closes flush with the body. I look forward to picking up the pen to write.


With previous ebonite pens, the number of turns needed to remove the cap struck seemed cumbersome. Most likely it’s me, but I don’t find that an issue any more. :)


I swapped out the original nib for a #6 M nib initially but eventually chose a #6 F. That’s been working very well now. I’m using R&K Scabiosa.


This was my first Ranga pen. I’m happy to say that there’s another on the way!


Thank you for organizing this group buy.

The long wait is finally over, my pen was delivered today, and I'm very pleased with it. I hope to get a photo of it up soon.

 

A very big thank you to Mehandiratta for his excellent organisation of this group buy, and of course to Mr. Kandan and all of his team at Ranga.

      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
