So this is the Ranga 8B I was talking about before the break...

which now has an Omas 14k B nib in it.

(I was forgetting that the pen is not an ED, it's a CC, so actually what I did was pull out the Bock steel nib and feed, and swap in the Omas nib)

My Ranga 9B Giant arrived today.  Boy is it a big pen, but absolutely splendid.  Fits my hand like a glove and the broad nib is splendidly smooth.  Shown with a P45 for a quick size comparison (apologies for the shoddy phone pics - the lighting makes it appear a brighter red, but it is more a burgundy colour).

That's a whopper! Love the colour though :)

 

(I wonder what it would take to update the title of this thread ;))

Here is another nice Ranga, which I got recently and is already back into rotation.

It's their newer model Abhimanyu. It's a rather interesting pen (besides being very pretty in my opinion).

It's a shorter size than usual (Rangas tend to be big pens) and the cap unscrews in 3/4 turn. For those who don't appreciate too many turns to uncap (sort of typical in ebonite pens) it's an interesting change.
Premium ebonite grey-cream with Bock nib and Schmidt converter.

Lovely pen. Ranga does nice work.

 

Speaking of the number of turns to remove the cap, I recently received a Giant Bamboo. It only takes 1/2 turn to remove the cap.

 

I have several Rangas and was pleasantly surprised at this development.

My 9B Giant is certainly less than a full turn.

I think they've noted there's an interest in that feature... :)

 

Mind you, on an eyedropper I would still prefer to have a couple of turns..

      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
