Asa Nauka Group Buy


jjlax10

Recommended Posts

I am pleased to organize a group buy for a new model from ASA Pens, the Nauka. Nauka means boat in Hindi, which as you will see in the photographs below, is apt based on the pen's sleek lines and curves. The pen is reminiscent of the early Sheaffer Crests with threading at the top of the section and the more recent Oldwins.

 

The first group of photographs are of the initial prototype, which is an eyedropper. Please note that I put my own Nemosine cursive italic I ground. The nib options are described below (Nemosine is not the stock nib).

Some adjustments were made, and the following are photographs of the pen more close to the final production in black ebonite with a screw in nib unit:

Schmidt with converter 35$

 

We need a commitment of ten purchasers to get the group buy going.

 

The pen will be available in ebonite in the following colors in addition to black:

Is rod #6 a reddish brown ebonite? Are there any other pictures available of the rods? I could go for a second pen (ED) if I liked the colour enough.

Is the cap clipless?

Beauty lies in the capless design... however you can still incorporate clip... i wont recommend that

Would love to have some dimensions (metric):

  1. Section diameter
  2. Unposted length (to end of section is fine since there are different nib options)
  3. Posted Length (to end of section is fine since there are different nib options)

      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
