I understand that the premium ebonite no.6 (pink and black) is not available at the moment. My question is whether it will be available in the future? Another question: since there is mention that the premium ebonite is imported, any idea where that ebonite was manufactured? I presume it is not Indian.

I have what may seem to be a silly question.

 

What is ebonite? What is it made from?

 

I have heard that it is a hardened rubber. It this correct?

 

The reason why I am asking is that I have a serious allergy to latex (a rubber). I have used pens in the past that have a rubber substance on the grip and have had allergic reactions. So, I am much more cautious now.

Yes it is rubber which has been vulcanised. So, you are right. It was used previously in bowling balls and some musical instruments mouthpieces. I am not sure if ebonite can cause complications to you, but I suggest you stay away from ebonites just to be in the safe side

Dear Sir,

 

Yes. Ebonite is vulcanised rubber and sulphur. I would suggest you to avoid Ebonite if it causes allergy to you.

Instead, you can use Acrylic pens.

Take care.

      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
