Lotus Pen Collection

[mke]

Just a teaser - showing my little Lotus pen collection. More details to follow on my blog.

• The red one is a Virat with which I was introduced to Lotus Pens. It has a Bock #8. Inked with Diamine Royal Blue.
• The big one is a 12-faceted pen, about 150mm length and around 21-23mm diameter with a Bock #8. It just arrived some minutes ago. This style is new at Lotus Pens
• The third one, the blue one, is the Lotus octa and many people who tried it, instantaneously liked the format. Inked with Montblanc's Midnight blue.
• The fourth one, the yellowish green one, is the Lotus Corrundum. Also this one has just arrived.
• The last pen, is a Lotus Vikrant made from HoneyDew celluloid.

• The first four pens are made from Japanese ebonite (Nikko Ebonite).
• Pen 3-5 have Jowo steel nibs in EF, my favorite nib for everyday writing.

The pen pouches and the pen case are also made by Lotus Pens.

 

I have placed the two new arrivals together with a Montblanc 149 so you can judge the dimensions better.

Thank you, Arun Singhi, for these marvellous, high-quality pens.

Beautiful pens. Thank you for showcasing you stunning collection! I love the interesting faceted shapes they have, rather than the standard cigar shape.

Very nice set of pens you have there.

Lotus continues to surprise me. I appreciate their appetite to experiment and accommodate custom designs.

 

Here are a few pens that my brother commissioned through them.

There is no name because Arun made that pen for me. But give him the link to this page and he will know what you are talking about.
