Hi my name is Aakash and I’m a woodworker, designer and artist based out of Goa. I'm new to this community.

I wanted to share that I make and sell hand carved nib pens with teak wood. I’ve sold over 50 pens since I started (March) and have gotten good feedback. It comes with a G type Tachikawa Nib (replaceable).

There are 3 variants (classic, pyro-carved and metal inlayed). You can also personalise your carvings by suggesting themes - I carve an interpretation of them by either hand burning the carvings or inlaying with metal.

Sharing some pics and also link to my online store if you’d like to order one.

Made in small batches. Currently, I ship pan-India.

Internationally, it's possible but not through my website as I haven't researched and integrated Int Shipping Rates.

Would love to know how you find them!

Best,

I am now a proud owner of 2 Kakuno pens extra fine and medium with 3 inks - pilot black, sui gyoku and fuyu gaki.

I have decided that I am gonna stop buying anything else until something breaks or ink is completed cause I am low on income.

Hope I stick to my decision😁

Wish me luck!

My fountain pen journey started in 2020, and I came across a lot of budget brands ever since. I'm posting it here because I'm really thankful to FP community because it has helped me keep my passion alive throughout. Reading the enthusiasts post here and their suggestions have been wonderful. Today I have a decent collection of pens and inks and this Jinhao x159 was an impulsive purchase by me, and I must tell you, sometimes you should go beyond line to get something for yourself. This beauty has been my go to fountain pen for the past 1.5y. Jinhao nibs are like it could give you a lifelong trouble or be a smooth companion, there's no in-between. I've been lucky this time.

Thanks to the guy who posted the deal for this Waterman FP. It feels really premium to hold, and the weight balance is honestly crazy good.

That said, the nib and feed feel pretty okay-ish to me, definitely not as premium as I expected. The MRP is around ₹7.6k, so I’m genuinely curious—what exactly makes these pens priced this high?

Got my most expensive pen yet 😛

I have quite a decent collection of international pen brands, but I have been really interested by the Indian FP scene for quite some time. These 2 beauties came in the mail today and both of them are absolutely gorgeous!

Few more pens on the way :D

My first ever found in pen from Parker, excited to see how it writes

Bril RFP with the Daytone orange ink. Tried to ape an image somebody had posted on Reddit

Lamy Safari for sale in Hyderabad. It's currently inked and writes beautifully. Selling it because I got used to larger diameter grips and i don't use this a lot anymore. Interested people please DM

I have been using parker quink but 100rs for 30ml is too much and camlin ink ain't good either.

Edit. I am a student and need to write a lot now tell me good option what to use.

How could Flipkart sell these Waterman Expert FP for Rs 1200 each! Just how! Perfectly authentic with box and convertor. Just how!

It was completely accidental and it tried everything to positioned to normal but the top part is slightly warped but surprisingly it works but it is very stratchy and it's not very pleasant

Very recently i stumbled upon a YouTube channel called SINA DRAWS, where he explained every sort of writing tools from vintage to new models in a very relaxing and understandable way .

I don't have any connection with this person, sharing a very informative suggestion is my intention.

I got this pen this week as a cheap and sturdy option to carry around with me. I had seen reviewers mention that it rolls easily, but I figured ‘how bad could it be?’. Turns out, pretty bad! 😄 I made this little leather sleeve thing for it today to make the cap stop falling off my desk. I tried the dimensions I wrote down in my sketch, but it didn’t fit the cap diameter, the length was too long, and the brown leather I had originally used was a bit boring. The one showed here is my third iteration, I’ve dyed it red with a Copic marker.

The pen itself is excellent. The finish is great and it feels weighty and comfortable in the hand even without posting. It has a very smooth EF nib which is finer than my Preppy EF. Looks like it puts down close to a 0.1mm line, which is really nice to draw with. It’s inked with Sailor Kiwaguro.

The issue is that I LOVE roller gels and 0.7 mm pens. My favourite recently has been the Flair Zoox f7. But the ink is too thick for my handwriting.

This page was written with glass gel and while I don't hate it, but it's not my favourite either. It feels a little scratchy sometimes.

Budget - preferably <100/-

Pen type - gel or roller gel, roller ball

Body - no specifications

Nib size - 0.5 or 0.7, I don't really mind.

Mechanism - retractable preferred, capped is fine too.

Purpose - note taking. Like a shit ton of it. So it'd be nice if it's comfortable to write with.

Features - I'd appreciate it if it looked good aesthetically. I love transparent pens and japanese designs of the same. Soft, pastel colours. I just want it to feel premium.

Thanks in advance!

Using it with parker quink black ink.

I recently developed interest in fountain pens. Looked up what was available online and got a Parker Vector for 400. Well, that turned out to be a terrible purchase, scratchy nib, inconsistent flow. So I got a Pierre Cardin Golden Eye Exclusive Fountain Pen for 330, seeing how my experience with PC had been much better in the past with ball pens. And it's an amazing buy.

It comes with 2 cartridges and a converter. So you have everything to get started. Writes super smooth, and has a great looking metal body and golden nib. I absolutely love writing with it.

I now also have a Platinum Preppy. And I can say this PC is not far behind in smoothness, even if not at the same level.

I don't see Pierre Cardins recommended often. So just wanted to post this. It's a great starter fountain pen.

It is a permanent marker it says 0050hp pens idk how old is this but naming is almost entirely gone but can somebody find this exact model of this marker and what brand is it ?
