Woodex 54 and 44


Harish N V

Recommended Posts

These two pens are pens of very different sizes from woodex. The model 54 is a more recent offering from woodex. They offer quite a number of models with 3 in 1 filling. This is one such jumbo pen and comes in a unique maroon and teal ebonite pattern. The cap and barrel are of the same width and it's a clipless model. It's equipped with a jowo threaded kanwrite medium nib and a Schmidt converter. 

 

The model #44 is a regular pen with a green and black pattern. The green ebonite has some inclusions and black dots which was shared upfront by woodex. This has an ed filling mechanism and it comes with a standard ebonite feeder and a 35mm kanwrite broad nib. The grip is black in color and is shorter than compared to model 4. 

 

Here are the pics

 

Impressions

 

The pens are very well made as expected from woodex over years. The polishing on 54 is great. Very interestingly even the portion below the grip section threads are polished. This is the attention to details that you come to expect  from woodex. The cap is thicker than usually to accommodate the step down and the concave grip section is exceptionally well made. 

 

The #44 has inclusions on the barrel which was shared upfront and even in spite of that I like the color. The small finials in the top and bottom are very well made. The barrel has a thicker wall since this pen is an eye dropper. The nib is tight set and not removable. 

 

Writing.

Both nibs wrote perfectly out of the box and absolutely perfect. The 44 is really wet and the 54 is moderately wet considering the plastic feed. Overall standard, functional and pleasant. 

 

Pricing

 

pricing is great. The 54 is priced at 3200 rs which is great considering 3 in 1 filling. 

 

The 44 is prices at 1900 rs which again is great. 

 

Overall woodex is one of the most affordable pen companies around. They don't compromise on quality and their pens are made with a lot of care and attention to details.

The section for 54, similar in design to the 63? is sooooo comfortable. The section seems to be long enough that the step down does not bother.

Congratulations on both!

      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
