After @K Singh's post on the Woodex 63, I placed an order for three pens, and they arrived a few days back. I used Model 2 at office, while models 62 and 63 were at home. The model 2 (ED mode only) came with a Kanwrite M nib with an ebonite feed (not Kanwrite). It wrote well, but the smoothness could be better, so I tuned it for better flow and smoothness. The model 62 ("3 in 1") came with an Ambitious 40 M nib unit, with a plastic feed, I have been using this without any tuning. The model 63 (ED mode only) came with an Ambitious 40 M nib and an ebonite feed, I smoothed the nib as I found it to be a bit on the scratchy side for my liking. See the pics below. I liked the clips on models 2 and 62 more than the one on model 63. If I had to choose one, it has to be the model 62 for me. It is large but light on it's feet and athletic like a sumo wrestler. The model 63 is also good, my guess is that I will not pick it up very often. It think it is slightly back-weighted. Model 2 has been an eternal favorite for me, it is light and is great for long hours of writing. I owned and used some version of this pen, starting with the Deccan Advocate from many years ago. The model 62 is being used with a converter. Although not overtly wet (which I prefer), it lays down an adequate quantity of ink.

Good day fellow members, I’m planning to create the group-buy thread by May 1st. Here are the nib width and sizes that are going to be put up for the current upcoming group buy.
