My Ranga Bamboo regular with a titanium nib, Medium arrived today.

It writes beautifully with quite a wet line, though not as wet as my Visconti HomoSapiens. I've grown to love wet lines. :P

The nib is well tuned and is well aligned.

Overall, great value.

This one does NOT post, although I don't think this is a requirement since the pen is well big enough to use without posting.

 

... and here are some size comparisons with pens that I use just fine without posting.

Here it is with my other Rango pen, a model 4c

I highly recommend this model and the nib. I prefer it to my model 4c. I found it to be surprisingly comfortable to write with despite the considerable change in calibre between the barrel and the nib/grip section. The threads don't come in contact with my hand at all. I don't plan to use it as an eyedropper although it seems like it can be used as one.

 

Thank you for this review, as I have ordered almost the same model, except with a fine nib, I am glad to read how happy you are with yours. I found my previous military green Bamboo with 1.1 Bock nib was both comfortable and wrote well, and I feel this black and yellow model does look like a blackened bamboo. As you say the Titanium nib is reputed to be rather wet, which is why I went for the fine nib, but of course this can be tweaked by ink choice. You are right though that using it as an eyedropper would make it even wetter. Thanks again maclink!

Just for completeness... (and to inflict my horrendous handwriting upon the world)

      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
