Thanks for the wonderful review and the group picture! I think so far of all the ASA offerings, this appeals to me the most.

this is amazing review....

it seems like a fresh take on old design...

the best part about the pen is the feed.... ebonite high finned feed....

what disappoints me is the turns to open the pen... this has to improve...

 

thank you for the review...

Thanks Vaibhav..

I have two Kim pens those have same feeds but with ebonite channels and short in length. This plastic channel is new to me but it works nice.

Nice review. Excellent product as all of ASA fountain pens.
The I'll buy just when Subramaniam send me other 2 pens (a custom and a Rainbow) ordered and not yet finished.
The hard rubber mat is very beautiful but can I order some other color between the sets available on the ASA website, such as "cocoa" the Writer?

Thanks

Thanks very much. I asked him that if he had any plan to introduce some other ebonite colors in future. He told me that he had no such plan at present. You can ask him though.

I reached him on Monday and he said Chennai was being hit by a cyclone and electricity was knocked off. I think that's the reason why Subbu cannot respond to emails. Judging from the news report, it looks pretty bad.

I hope that this situation will be resolved with no damage.
The entire community of FPN and admirers of excellent ASA fountain pens need the creativity and skills of "our" Subramaniam.

It looks amazing. design is more like classic pens. matte black look is amazing.

Once again, an Indian hand-made pen proves irresistible. I sent an order.

Got my ASA Maya today. It is a very beautiful pen. I liked the polished finials and the way the branding on the barrel lines up correctly with the nib. The section is fat and is comfortable to hold for long writing sessions. Opted for the Jowo Medium nib. It writes smooth and reasonably wet. Overall, an awesome fountain pen.
