@Jamerelbe the Diwali colourway is gorgeous! I have a pen by a different brand in the same acrylic and it's especially pretty looking at it under sunlight. You'll see what I mean when it arrives!

 

I'm surprised that Ranga is not promoting their new nibs more, especially their flex nib, which neither of the German options offer. Great to know about the Jowo/Ranga screw-in unit compatibility as that really sells it to me! Most of the Ranga pens I ordered have been with a Jowo nib (and the dual-tone ones, too, before they discontinued it!). Will come in handy for nib swaps! Think the only non-Jowo one (apart from my most recent order) is the first Ranga I ever got, for which I went with the eye-dropper.

 

Also interesting to note that the Ranga nib comes with a plastic feed since most of the Indian-made pens I have came with an ebonite feed, bar the ones with German nibs. While I have read about the advantages of ebonite feeds in terms of being able to heat set it to the nib, I've never tried it before/never needed to.

Has anybody tried the Ranga nibs and can comment on the writing experience? I believe they are a relatively new offering? I have not been able to find much information on them.

Tempted toward purchasing the red/gold/blue flake or the tortoise shell colourways.

 

The broad nib in my 9B Giant is as sweet as a nut.

My pen arrived! It's gorgeous. I flushed out the body to remove the acrylic dust and ran a bit of detergent water through the  nib/converter. The Ranga flex nib performs well. Thankyou Ranga for such a nice pen, so quickly delivered!

Mine also arrived today - Diwali finish, with a duotone flex nib.  Don't know if these photos do it justice, but... it's a beautiful acrylic, and a fantastic pen to hold!  Haven't inked it up yet, but will be rectifying that ASAP...

      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
