The Deccan "bullet"

Recommended Posts

I usually keep a couple of small sized pens in my rotation, I carry them clipped to the collar of my T shirt, I had purchased a few of these pens from the Deccan pen stores in Hyderabad, India. I inked one up recently and was pleasantly surprised by the ergonomics of this pen, affectionately named the "Bullet" by the folks at Deccan. This pen is made of BHR, hand brushed, ED filled, fitted with a Indian made steel nib. The ink capacity is roughly 1.5ml.

 

Slightly shorter but fatter than the MB Mozart:

However it is longer when posted:

Similar section profiles, very ergonomic:

Hello Hari,

 

Nice shots as usual. My wife purchased a Bullet for me. I wasn't sure if I am going to like it, but seeing your pics and reading another review, the pen might just work. With the pen posted, I would imagine the pen gets to the webspace of the thumb.

 

Is there any flex to these nibs?

 

Thanks

Hi Hari

Does Deccan Pens have a website? Can their pens be ordered over the net or over the phone? Or does one need to physcially go to Abids Road to buy their goodies.

Sunjoy, I buy my pens from them over the counter. however, they do deliver by mail within India, taking orders on phone. Call their Abids branch. They have no website.

 

Best,

Hari
