Hi Mr. Kandan,

 

Do you have any plans for another group buy soon? I need an eyedropper pen for Bock nibs, but I find majestic too big for me.

Thank you Sir,

 

Just a quick question about your name. Is Kandan your personal of family name? So should you be Mr Kandan, Mr P or something else entirely? What do you prefer?

 

Regards,

 

Steve

That's a clone of mine, looks like. I got it last week and have just filled it up. What a monster! it's not longer than the Varuna, but definitely substantially wider.

These two dwarf anything that before them, I thought were big pens. Like the Asa Naukas of transparent acrylic. And the Gama Jumbo.

The #6 nib appears really small on a big pen like that. That would be a perfect pen for a bigger nib like a #8.

 

The #6 look like a #5.

You're right, and with this one, that's even more true than for the Varuna. Have you tried fitting a #8?

Trouble for me is, I ordered the Bock stub nib and I don't have a stub #8. Not sure even if the existing nib would come out of the housing...

My Ranga Majestic arrived this morning, well packaged and in good order.

 

This . is . an . awesome . pen .

 

It is also freaking huge. The photo's don't really convey the sheer size of this pen. In an emergency it could be recruited as an extra stump for a cricket match. But, despite the size, at 46 grams it is nowhere near my heaviest pen (that goes to the Blackstone Maxim at 79 grams). In my admittedly large hands is is quite comfortable to hold and the feel of the ebonite is noticeably more pleasant than standard resins.

 

I dipped the nib in some blue Quink and had a write and it wrote perfectly. The black #6 Jowo 1.1 stub looks tiny but writes like a charm, with a noticeably thinner line than the #6 Goulet Pens 1.1 stub that I have in one of my Jinhao pens.

 

Did I say this pen is awesome?

 

And there was a bonus Oliver 3R eyedropper pen. Perfectly normal but dwarfed against the Majestic. :D

Chin up Tony, I am a lot closer than you, possibly even closer that Europe. Your pen will turn up in the fullness of time. :)

Replacement pen arrived today! Shipping around the world can be quite an adventure. Mr. Kandan worked with me and took care of me. I don't understand what happened, the original pen was returned to Ranga almost 9 weeks after shipping. The replacement pen arrived less than 1 week after shipment.

 

The pen is HUGE. I'm looking forward to learning how it writes.

      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
