Hi Everyone,

 

I'm thinking about getting my first Indian ebonite pen and the Gama Eyas seems perfect for me.

The only problem is that I want the glossy finish instead of the matte black.

AsaPens only has the latter, so where online can I order the glossy version?

 

Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi

You can contact ASA Pens on email... He will be able to send you the glossy version...

Also, in my opinion matte one is better

Thanks Vaibhav for the quick response!

 

I'm curious, why do you like the matte version more? Is the glossy version too slippery or scratch prone?

 

What I like is that it reminds me of a Nakaya, but without the large step between barrel and section that those pens often have.

I just saw it and thought, "Ooh, shiny!" :P

Thanks for answering...after looking around at various reviews for polished ebonite pens, I saw that sometimes the polishing job isn't perfect. The matte finish definitely makes more sense in the long run.

 

Then after reading your superb Patriot review I got steered more in that direction and away from the Eyas. :P

I went to Gem and Co and actually held both the pens side by side for the first time. I must say that although the glossy one had a very polished look, its texture was quite similar to acrylic ( while touching with eyes closed etc). The matte version seemed to have a silky texture that seemed better to me. It was not as rough or rubbery as I had originally expected. Finally I got the matte version, only for the the silky texture. 

 

Mr Pratap did mention that they are bringing back the glossy version after 5 years.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
