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.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
