Craftsmanship and Comfort: A Review of the Click 'Yen' Fountain Pen
Sagarb posted a topic in Fountain Pen Reviews
The Unique Pen Industry has been crafting the 'Click' writing instruments for decades. Situated in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, the Click fountain pen is renowned for its affordability and dependability. It is favored by novices and aficionados alike for its diverse range of fountain and calligraphy pens. Besides taking care of his business, Harsh Gagwani, the company owner, hosts numerous events and competitions (like handwriting, calligraphy) almost every year to ignite a passion for fountain pens among children, young people and every fountain pen enthusiasts. The beauty of a Classic Design and Build Quality: The Click 'Yen' impresses right out of the box with its timeless classic cigar-shape design. The pen’s design is a harmonious blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern elegance, making it a centerpiece in any fountain pen collection. The pen's body is crafted from high-quality resin; available in a variety of four stunning colors all are so beautiful. The material feels robust and sturdy, and very well-balanced, providing a comfortable grip for extended writing sessions. The cap and barrel feature intricate detailing. It sports chrome accents, with a ball end clip and two beautiful bands on the cap, reflecting Click’s dedication to artisanal craftsmanship. Four Colors Nib and Performance: The heart of any fountain pen is its nib, and the Yen does not disappoint. The nib is available in multiple sizes (Extra-fine, fine, medium, broad, 1.1 stub, 1.5 stub and flex) provides a smooth writing experience with consistent ink flow. The nibs are made by Jowo, Click imprinted on top. I opted for the EF nib. It has a slight feedback (which I like) that is pleasant and not scratchy. It works well with various inks and handles different paper types without any issues. Nib: Jowo made, No. 6, Chrome plated, Extra Fine Filling System: The Yen comes with 3 in 1 filling system; cartridge, converter and eye dropper. The piston filling converter is easy to use and holds a reasonable amount of ink. The pen can also be used with any standard ink cartridges for convenience. Two large cartridges and a converter is included in the box 3 in 1 Filling System Writing Sample: Ink: Krishna Ghat Green Comfort and Ergonomics: The hourglass section encourages proper finger placement and is very comfortable for long writing sessions. The cap can be posted securely without affecting the pen's balance and since it's a large pen it looks a bit awkward. The length and diameter are suitable for most hand sizes. Length: Capped-150 mm, Uncapped - 140mm, Posted- 180mm Pros and Cons Pros: - Durable and lightweight design - Smooth writing experience - Variety of nib sizes and colors - Cap opens in one and quarter turn Cons: Haven’t found. Overall Impression: The Click Yen fountain pen is a perfect example of the brand’s dedication to quality and craftsmanship. It offers a superb writing experience, backed by an elegant design and reliable performance. And overall the price they offer is reasonable. Recently Click has introduced the same model in ebonite material which is as much attractive as this, and will be included in my collection soon.

Oliver F27:an Adieu To Flamboyance Par Excellence
mrmohitmishra posted a topic in Fountain Pen Reviews
For me Fountain Pen is a stamp of one's personality. It speaks of one's moods, character, choices, style and his inner self. Like eyes, it is a sort of window to one's intellectual soul. That is why I love using them. It sets me apart in an age of mass production. It is my attempt to keep my individuality intact. So,when I hear that a pen, especially a good one, will no longer be produced, I feel a personal loss. I feel as if a part of my past will no longer be available for me to access and touch. A minority complex pervades my world and I feel all more alone in a world which no longer understands me. I am holding this Oliver F 27 and feeling this nostalgia and a kind of gloom. I liked this pen. But they say that the company has stopped producing them. The only place one can get them is on ASApens and they will never get restocked. They are the last of their kind. On the site, this pen is the most reviewed pen. One reviewer Anup ji went to the extent of claiming this pen to be the 'perfect pen'. Their claim is not without a reason. It was one of the premium pen produced by the Oliver company. It is made of best acrylic available and contains a Schmidt Medium nib. Nowadays, it is impossible to get a pen holding this nib made of such quality in Rs. 750/- I paid. The nib alone costs 400-450/- Rs(8 $ approx.) The pen is beauty to behold. It is made of such glittering, flamboyant( but not gaudy) colors that one can fall in love with it.The marbled acrylics reflect and refract light like a crystal. It instantaneously catches the attention of those around. It is not a normal looking formal feeling fountain pen. It exuberates joy and life. The fluorescent green I ordered looks even more pretty and classy than in pictures. The clip, the nib and the rings are all made of steel and they add to looks of this pen. Needless to say that a lot of thought and hard work has gone in its design which makes its demise all the more unfortunate. The pen is balanced. I found it more pleasurable to write with the cap unposted. It uses standard international cartridge and converter. The only thing I didn't like was the nib. In fact it is a superb nib. It is extremely smooth and never skips or gives any trouble. Problem is that I am not a big fan of Medium nibs. They write on the broader side of medium and the line is too wet. On normal JK paper we use, there are chances that the impression of the words may show on back. So I talked to Mr. Subramanium of ASApens . He advised me to use a thicker ink and that solved the problem!!! I used Lamy since I did not have Pelikan ink. Now, as the writing sample would show the line variation is visible and the wetness of the line has lessened. The service of the sellers was excellent. Complete support before and after purchase. I received this pen within 4 days of order. This is quite fast when we understand that the pen was shipped from Chennai all the way to Faridabad. Overall, a pen that they should continue to produce. Its lively, impressive and colourful. A balanced and smooth writer.A high quality writing instrument. A prized possession. Flamboyance par excellence.- 33 replies
