Mine just arrived in France. It has been a long wait but here it is at long last, and with a lovely pen case, so pretty. I'm really glad to receive such a sweet pen.

 

And I hear India is getting on with its vaccination programme which is great news! 

Too many pens, too little time!

I can confirm shipping to Canada is working again as my ASA pen just arrived today :), going to clean her as I usually do with new pens (flush the pen a couple times with soapy, then distilled water if a newbie FP lover is reading). I can't wait to ink her but here are some first impression photos, it is a gloomy cloud filled day so please excuse me for the quality of the images:

The color is a beautiful inbetween these two, and a comparison shot with my Star Ruby M205, the ASA is huge and fits great in my big hands :D

Thank you so much Mr. Subramaniam, I love the pen :) and will do it justice with better photos tomorrow :)

 

Thanks a lot for sharing sir.

Have gotten my pen today and more than little bit happy about that.  Looking forward to inking it up tomorrow, possibly some Krishna ink I've holding for this purpose.  The pen is well made and is such a unique color of acrylic.  Sad that the wait was so long.  Perhaps we are all closer to some kind of normal now.

Mine arrived Tuesday. I almost missed it as it took me a few minutes to get out of bed and toss something on before answering the doorbell.

 

Inked yesterday. I'd have used some shade of green, but I already have a Ranga mini-Sugarcane loaded with green. As a result, the Asa ended up getting Fahrney's/PR Orange Crush.

I received my pen today as well.  I am so happy that I have it finally in my hands.  I will ink it up as soon as I finish some of my other pens.  It looks gorgeous!

I just wanted to say it's a lovely spring day in France, the first iris has just opened its purple flower, the apple orchard is full of blossom, and I am really enjoying my flora nauka.  It feels so right for the season.

Too many pens, too little time!

I have never done a pen review, but I can report that the Flora Nauka is a wonderful writer.  It writes with precision and the balance on the pen is very good despite its large size.  I have been very pleased with this purchase.

      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
