The Ink Karas Kustoms

It's like a Naka-ai mated with a Lamy 2000 while on vacation in the USA.

A good chuckle, was had here.

Late comer to this thread, but had to relate how much I enjoyed this review...very clever!

We are in the process of finishing a run of INKs right now.

 

@jebib111 - I apologize for the issues with your clip. We have made some minor adjustments to our clip retaining screws and our clips now fit flush against the cap.

 

I am not sure about future Massdrops with the INK, they would need to come to us and ask us for the INKs again. So I would suggest you set up a survey on their site specifically requesting the INK be returned, that would get their attention fastest.

 

Besides that Dan and Bill are hard at work on some new products. All I can say is it's more than one and less than five. More to come in the weeks ahead. They aren't ALL fountain pens but they are all pen related.

 

 

We adore Dan and Bill. Keep them working.

A few years have passed since the above posts and I bought a KK Ink in 2017. I suspect that they have made some adjustments to the pen since the beginning. I was attracted by the industrial design, since my adopted motto is "Form follows function." I don't look for nor do I avoid beauty in any object, but it has to work. The Ink looks like it would work, and it does. I ordered green aluminum with a copper section and a 1.1 mm stub. I would probably prefer a 1.5 mm stub, because I'm so manly but I'm still happy. How could I go wrong buying a fountain pen from a body shop with "kustoms" in its name? This ain't no sissy pen! I love it.

They've definitely made some changes since this was first posted - the most significant of which was a shift from #5 Schmidt nibs to #6 Bock, accommodated by creating a more 'hooded' (partially enclosed) look to the nib. I've got one of the originals, and enjoy it a great deal - wish I could justify buying one of the newer pens, but I have too many pens!

Has anyone tried the Titanium nib in this pen? I'm debating whether to order this pen with a steel or titanium nib.

Enjoyed your review. Adding humor is always a good thing.

 

I love my Ink, so it was nice to see you saying good things about it.

I got to try one of these at the 2017 LA pen show. Great pens, and the team at Karas Kustoms are the best. Authentic people.
