Using a Kanwrite Legacy Black Ebonite and a Sulekha Damodar today!

 

 

Damodar looks like Camlin SD limited edition except the cap is plain in SD. It is a nice pen. 

 

KW Legacy is a wonderful pen to write all day. I got the Amber Crush. The size and weight is perfect for me and of course the superb nib and the huge converter.

I feel very fortunate to have this pen in my little collection. And it's always a joy to write with this beautiful nib made by Late Shri. Ramanamurthyji

A couple of Jumbos for me this week - Kanwrite Mammoth (OB nib) and a PLP Jumbo (OB ground Wingsung 40mm nib with regular 6mm ebonite feed, friction fit)

Of all the ebonites I have come across, my favorite is this green and yellow ripple with the random black specs. I'm so glad it is still available and that I acquired a few pens in this particular ebonite over the last couple of years including the PLP Jumbo. 

 

Kanwrite also offers a Mammoth "X" version for those unfamiliar with the Kanwrite Mammoth.

 

Mammoth X - Kanwrite Fountain Pen & Nibs (kanpurwriters.com)

 

I thought about ordering one but decided I would be in over my head with their #9 Jumbo nib, as my #6 nibs are in my current comfort zone and readily available.

Thanks for the info, I prefer the taper in the old version to be honest, and the cap design does not bother me. Unless X has made some improvement in the nib itself? The thing that I would prefer, is if the nib is set shallow. Right now, the part of the nib outside the pen is ~29mm, I would prefer ~35mm, or if they want to be like the Emperor then ~32mm.

Currently inked: Woodex 39 (old design)

 

I find this old Woodex 39 more comfortable than their newer 39 model, which has a slightly-hourglass style section design. While that pen barely gets used, this one I use a lot. It's a very good eyedropper pen IMO 👍

My favourite model along with the 63 among woodex. I like the girth. I have a Deccan mp and also two hour glass shaped 39s. I find the Deccan a bit more comfortable. But it's a bit precious so I use the 39s more often

I love this clip more than their new clips

Even I have rarely used my Deccan MPs so far. Should use them more. 

 

And I agree about the clip. I like it more than their current offerings.

Excellent choice, I love the look of the old model, the cap and all. The hourglass shape fits my hand and writing style better, but I dont like the way it looks

Yes Sir, most people do find the hourglass section design comfortable 👍
