Review Of Kanwrite Heritage - In Medium And Fine
TheVintagelife posted a topic in Fountain Pen Reviews

Hi Everyone, I'm thinking about getting my first Indian ebonite pen and the Gama Eyas seems perfect for me. The only problem is that I want the glossy finish instead of the matte black. AsaPens only has the latter, so where online can I order the glossy version? Thanks for any suggestions!

Guider Capsule With Visconti Nib And Schimdt Nib Units Review
Samrat posted a topic in Fountain Pen Reviews
Hello everyone, This review is long due. I love this particular pen model so much just for the looks, with far less emphasis on the utility part.

the main review is below. This is an Indian notebook called ITC classmate which is dirt cheap and exceptionally fountain pen friendly - doesn't feather or spread with the worst offenders (in my case, Noodler's 54th Mass for spreading, Noodler's forest green for feathering); dry time is quick but in...
