Don't Just Tell Us About The Pen You're Using, *show* Us! - 2015-Ii

[RMN]

 

ASA Forever Pen in Greenish Blue Rippled Ebonite....

With the home grinded broad italic nib. (Stock Nib was Medium - Made in Taiwan )

Inked with Bril Turquoise Blue.

Beautifully finished pen. Love it.

 

 

Vaibhav, are these stock nibs? I seem to remember most Indian penmakers favour only F nibs.

 

I am thinking about an Indian pen (in the future), but my favourite size is 1.0 mm cursive italic. Would that be available or should I source a nib elsewhere?

I have grinded the Nib myself... On above mentioned pen

 

 

However many manufacturers like ASA have JoWo 1.1,1.3,1.5 stub nib options available...

Bada-bing! I reckon if the nib's got the chops, then you can sling the ink. I just picked up a CH 912 in Houston, but it turns out the stub nib is a little finicky. Maybe I shoulda oughta gotta posting nib. Hmmm.

 

I sure do dig seeing what these pens can do.

These nibs are awesome!

I don't know what's the issue, but stubs can have issues with 'baby bottom', you might want to check that out.

That's incredible Attila. I wish my eyesight is better, but it's only going downhill from now I think, I notice that I am writing bigger these days and my preference for fat nibs don't help me with writing small.

 

Do you like the smell of Pilot Blue? Whenever I have that ink in a pen I always have to sniff the nib as soon as I open the cap of the pen. I love that smell. Pilot Blue Black is nice too by the way, with similar reddish sheen but it does't have that smell as strong as the Blue.

All the way from India to the UK for £20 all in

This one arrived today. I'm still getting the hang of writing with it, but now I understand the allure of Pelikans.

Is the 'full flex' nib a standard feature of this model, or a specialised aftermarket addition?

It's aftermarket, purchased separately. It got here first and I had to wait for the body to arrive.
