Thank you, Prithwijit for the detailed revue.

 

Enjoy your pen.

 

Is this pen a futur new model to be comercialised by ASA, or is it a one time pen?

From what is written in the review, you will have to procure the blanks yourself from the mentioned source. So the model is there, but to get the same design, you need to get the blanks.

@Ray J - Yes, I understand this one was a costum order.

 

I just wondered if ASA was eventually going to propose it, later, as another model of it's collection. Just curious, not that I would want one made. :)

I believe so. It looks like a nice pen, but another centimeter long would have made it better for me. But that would require 2 blanks.

 

Since ASA pens have said that they would make it after Nauka Group buy, I should import the blanks for this. I'm in India so no problem with placing the order at least. :)

I am sorry I hadn't seen your response.

 

Thank you for it.

 

Sure, that's what we do here, share picture of our pens and inks. :)

 

Although I don't trust my photography skills, I'll try to take good pictures. :)

 

Thank you. I am sure you will do perfectly fine :)

I have been insisting that ASA expands it's catalogue of offerings and especially offer a few nice designs using special materials other than standard ebonites and pastel acrylics. Fingers crossed to see some such offers soon even if he makes them in limited numbers.

Everybody likes smaller pens. I, on the other hand like them big. :)

 

Anyway, I went to the mentioned website for the blanks.

#28 looks like the blank this pen was made from.

I liked #26, #52 and #54.

Once you visit www.muttblanks.com and start exploring the options under lava explosion, its hard to stop oneself from ordering all of them. Each design is interesting and unique. I wish someone uses #12 blanks too since they closely resemble the colours of the Indian Triclolour.

 

If you are buying ready blanks from the website, please order two pieces of five inches each for the material that you choose. That should be enough to have a proper sized pen with clips.

It could be interstenging. In a smaller size, in black ébonite and with a Ambitious nib.

 

That pen already exists. Its called the Guider Onyx.

 

Personally though, I wont bother pairing a stock ambitious nib with such a fine material. At the very least I would opt for the Schmidt FH 452 or FH 341.

I measured my Guider onyx and it's close to 150mm in length capped. So not smaller unless I am doing something wrong.

If the pen is made from 2 blanks, am I correct in guessing that it will not be possible to maintain a continuity in design with the pen capped?

I believe there are some piece to piece variations. The Onyx I had as reference was shorter at 146mm. It was also much thinner with a 13.5mm - 14mm approximate diameter.

 

The continuity can anyway not be maintained since the barrel piece and the cap piece has a break in between. The barrel needs to accommodate the threads for the cap and approx 6-10mm is required there. As a result any continuity with the cap doesn't happen.

 

The other option is to use solid coloured materials where this is not an issue.

      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
