Love my new Ranga Pens "Giant Sugarcane".

 

Can't really decide, what's more to love: the polished warm ebonite material, the quality of the pen or it's lovely color, the black rhodium plating of the nib or the softness of the Bock 380 nib. Maybe it's the combination of all those parts. I just need to find the right ink, Irish Green doesn't convince me.

 

Best,

Sebastian

I am using many classics on regular basis. Gama Eyas, Gama Supreme, ASA I-Can, Beena Lincoln, Camlin47 etc. however my current favorites are the ones made by self on a self made lathe ( Japanese Style). the bakelite pen is currently inked in the matching brown ink.

This is excellent work 👍 Would love to see how you make these pens on your lathe. If possible please share few more pics later.

For the last few days I have been using my Wality 52PD with original nib, and falling in love again with these piston fillers.

A newly arrived Ranga Psp Zayante "Z2" in red/black ripple ebonite with 1.1 Jowo stub nib. For its first fill, I used KWZI Pine Green. Seemed like a good choice with St. Patrick's Day coming up

Today I inked up my ebonite ASA Daily.  It is a really large pen with a small nib but it is very  well balanced when used unposted.

Nice color ebonite.

I too like ASA daily.

It is ergonomic in my opinion.

Airmail Wality 69A, Gama Fine nib inked with Bril Violet.

69A, A  stands for Acrylic, I think.

This specific 69A had some extra room in the section and cap to fit 35mm Gama fine nib.

Almost a year has passed by, but I still like the looks of your pen!!!!  It reminds me of the Nussbaum

Jon Ross model.  I've got to keep my eye open for that Airmail Wality 69 pen.  Want to add it to

my collection.  Love blue & white--including blue & white dishes.

Airmail get some unusual Acrylic rods that seem to be 'limited edition'. I would definitely advise anyone to grab one if a particularly striking example appeals to you. Even if you don't use the pen. Airmail are definitely trying to appeal to as many users as possible. The Wality 69EB would be seen as conservative against the blue & white 69A. Some of these rods look more like a stick of rock than that which you'd machine a pen from.

Currently using three Indian pens:

 

Kanwrite Desire with a bold stub

 

Kanwrite Desire with a bold regular nib

 

Mohi Tanishq with an Indian ink - Syahi (Mixed 3 parts Tuscan Yellow with 1 part Pinky Pink to get the orangey color you see in the pics)

 

Two non indian pens but with Indian inks:

 

TWSBI Eco inked with Krishna Inks Bamboo Shoots

 

Pilot Prera inked with Krishna Inks Golden Summer Blue

I'm playing with a Beena Lincoln with medium nib, ink being Fountain Pen Revolution's Cinnamon brown. I originally bought the pen with a Kanwrite semi flex nib, which proved too demanding for the feed. Luckily its original medium steel nib was included in the box, and with that swapped back in the pen writes well.

Wow, haven't posted here in years. I inked up my old Varuna Gajendra a few days ago, using the converter it came with and Herbin Lierre Sauvage. And yes, I have filled it as an eyedropper in the past. It holds about a quart of ink.

Today i am using the ASA patriot fountain pen with jowo nib unit, from ASA.

It has remained inked for a long time now.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
