Guider Bespoke Medium-Jumbo


K Singh

Recommended Posts

This is an old custom-made Guider pen, which I recently got from a good friend.

 

The pen is slightly bigger than Ratnamson Supreme, and just like the Supreme the stepdown between barrel and section is also very minimal. I find this Guider very comfortable as I prefer girthier pens.

 

The pen came with Guider stock nib. I have replaced it with a Kanwrite BB nib, and now it's a beautiful writer. The pen uncaps in 6 turns, but it's no issue for me. 

 

The Ratnamson Supreme and Guider Jumbo are for size comparison.

 

Approximate measurements:

Capped: 151mm

Uncapped: 136mm

Max Cap width: 18mm

Max Barrel width: 17mm

I love the color, ebonite I hope.

19mm or so is the Thickest rod that you can get, with acrylic you can go for even thicker.

GLR has made some pens like that for me. You may check the older posts.

Yes Sir, it's ebonite. You would have several pens in this colour 🙂. Perhaps my phone camera is not that good at depicting actual colour of this pen. 

 

Remember your Guider Super Zimbo pen in acrylic. Actually 17mm max barrel width is enough for me Sir. Those with 20mm or more would be just uncomfortable for me.

      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
