Flex Pen Under Rs 1000?


abdcolvinian

Recommended Posts

I'm really fond of the dip nibs especially my Brause No 141 . But I'm looking for a flex nib Fountain pen under Rupees 1000 . I have no qualms about the exterior design I rather hardly care about its age . But then I'm low on budget right now and wouldn't mind a bad looking pen I just want an Extra fine or fine tipped flex pen . I have checked the Lucknow stores the price they quoted me was over 25000 .I have high hopes from FPN.

You could get an inexpensive pen of your choice from Asapens.in (no affiliation) and have them substitute the stock nib with the right size flex nib. If it's not indicated as an option, contact them to ask. It will be very easy to stay within your budget and get a good pen.

How did the search go?

 

I have tried the following options and all options have worked for me,

- A modified KIM pen by fellow FPNer S-K (https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/292647-kim-jumbo-with-flex-steel-nib/)

- The Gama Ezuthani can be fitted ith a Gillot (https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/267615-ezhuthani-desk-pen-from-gama/)

- Airmail / Wality 71J, 69T, 69EB (#6 flex nibs or other similar sized ones)

I managed to get a Kim & Co Jumbo sized pen with a semi flex nib from Rafi. A tad rigid and scratchy. I suppose will smoothen out with use.

I spoke with the local pen dealer shop here in Lucknow "Anupam Bhartiya" ,who were once manufacturer's of Anupam Bhartiya Pens , the owner assured me that he has somewhere a box filled with old flex FP nibs, I even found one but it was a broad one and it didn't fit in any of my pens. He gave me an extremely cheap pen to work with meanwhile which accepts dip nibs including my Esterbrook No 128 for Rs 25 it is called a Rector133 . But I have to dip the pen in Ink before it works . If you ever come to Lucknow do not forget to visit this particular shop , these guys have really cool collection of dip nibs. No affiliation with the shop .

      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
