Ranga Bamboo

@MPKandan - thank you for dropping by. Do you have, maybe, a photo that would show all three Ranga Bamboo sizes (Regular, thin, oversize) one next to another?

 

Sounds like a great idea for a future FPN Group Buy...

Visvamitra, I cannot imagine a better call on the selection of olive green ebonite color with the bamboo design. The material and its imperfections almost makes the design look like natural growth.

Thank You, Visvamitra, for Your beautiful review!

 

Let me also show You my Ranga Bamboo pen which I ordered in the last group buy. These are my first ebonite pens and I like the ebonite very much. It feels warm in hand, and seems to be anti-scratchy. Much better than plastic.

 

I do not feel that the Bamboo pen is big. It weights more than the model 8 pens, but it is sufficiently ergonomic, so I do not feel its weight while writing. I do not post the cap of Bamboo (Mister Kandan wrote it can not be posted, so I decided not to try to post it, to prevent the break).

 

These photos are made in day light. The colours of all pens in reality is more pale.

 

My Bamboo is pale green. (Model 8 - one is orange + black section and the other is Rose Red – Mauve Ripple. I would say that the rose red-mauve pen is in fact a beautiful combination of red and dark blue.)

 

The pens write excellent, it is a pleasure to use them.

      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
