Finned feeders for Indian eye dropper filled pens.

That does seem like an option... but kanwrite's feed is the traditional spoon style with very few fins, and its cut back a fair bit, deepening the fins might require a bit of finesse

The main issue is the cut going at an angle so the saw should always come down vertically straight. The angle needs to be checked every couple of times you go back and forth. Also, need to keep an eye on the depth. Going too deep may result in breaking the feed.

I should mention that cutting it neatly can be tricky and to be honest, I had to practice on a couple of feeds to get it right.

Yes you have done an awesome job. Not easy to do at all with bare hands and a saw. 👍

Verry sorry. I didn't see the last part. I have been successful with 3/0 and 2/0 both. But I think the 2/0 might be more suitable for the KW #5 feeds.

Thanks for this input.

Just to close this report, I finally ran out of ink in my Gama Eyas Eyedropper. There was no burping or leaking or any misbehavior till the last drop of ink. :)  

Wonderful 👍

Oh... I didn't know kanwrite made these kinds of feed for the no.5 nib... I've ordered a couple of no.5 feeds for my Beena Lincoln and kanwrite saloon from Awasthi ji of Kanwrite, and they sent me the more traditional looking ones rather than these ones... Anyway, thanks for the info

You need to mention sheaffer type feed. They have #6, #5 and #4 sizes.

I have experimented in the past with KW feeds by deepening the fins using a jewellers saw. No burping even with sharp rise in temperatures ( ˜ -10˚ C to +15˚C) within 10-15mins.

So neatly done. Glad to know it works nicely 👍

Hi, could you give a picture of your modified feed alone in all angles? I'd like to see the way you've cut the fins... Hope it won't be an inconvenience...

Hi Aravind,

 

I've taken some pics of the modified feeds, properly done as well as one from early trials. FYI, both feeds are perfectly functional. Just that one doesn't look good.

I've also added some pics of the jeweller's saw that i have used, as well as all three sizes offered by kanwrite, in addition to what @hari317 sir had uploaded.

Hope the pics help. I've added some descriptions to the pics.

 

Thanks.

Nicely done and we'll explained sir👍👏... One slight doubt remaining .. did you only cut from the bottom side, or did you deepen the fins all round?

No, just the underside. I think that's enough for the purpose. I guess you can deepen the upper part as well but it might make the feed structurally weak.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
