Ranga 9B With Customized (Extra-Girthy) Section

Recommended Posts

Just to quick post to show an interesting pen that arrived today: A Ranga 9B with extra fat, concave section. I asked for a section that was comparable in girth to that of an L-size Eboya Houga.

Very comfortable in hand! Happy so far.

 

(These are not Ranga nibs; both came without nibs.)

Fantastic!

Wonderful! I love how the thicker section makes the step-up to the body diameter from the section relatively less prominent. Are the cap threads the same diameter as on the standard 9B?

 

I love how the black ebonite looks too, though I might go for the black crushed ice acrylic instead. This could well be my next Ranga if I decide to order, but how would I specify this shape to Mr. Pandurangan? Would he know which pen I mean if I cite "Fudefan's black 9B"?

I don't have a regular 9B so I'm not entirely sure, but from photos it looks like it could be the same diameter.

 

Their premium acrylics are pretty too! I'm sure that'd look good. Yes I believe he'd know what pen you're referreing to, especially if you send a link to this thread :)

That magenta (?) and black is stunning - as is the photo..... :puddle: What is the colour called?

 

Thanks! This is their "rose red / black ripple" special ebonite, aka S12.

well done, a very nice customization that meets the desires and earlier discussions about a Ranga pen with not only a larger body but also a larger section that the 3 /3C (without going into the huge body size of the 5).

 

As BlueJ says, I too love how the thicker section makes the step-up to the body diameter from the section relatively less prominent.

I usually suffer from the stepdown on pens, so this is going in the right direction in terms of design.

 

Willing to experiment one in future.

The solid black ebonite looks good too, is finish bakul or polished?, cannot tell so well from the photo

Hi, yes I think Ranga did a great job with this one. Very comfortable in hand. It's polished ebonite.

That black pen is really lovely and the photography is excellent too. I just got a Ranga (B in black/red swirls and couldn't be happier.

      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
