Its one of my daily beater. V'sign also have another pen with similar shape but different deisgn on cap, it's called "SB". The cap has nice filgree work on it and writes equally wet amd smooth. Bang for bucks.
Very nice pen and review, James. I find (mostly based on Jinhao) that a No 5 nib is quite as able to develop some character over weeks as a larger nib. Thanks as always!
I think the price is very reasonable for this pen. But, shipping from India can be expensive. The other drawback to this is the nib options. They only offer Medium and Broad. Given how wide the Medium nib writes, it would be too broad for my handwriting. I agree with you that my choice of nib size goes for the larger nibs like #6 or #8. As it keeps my hand further away from the paper. I do have smaller nib pens that are #5 or hooded and they do work well but I tend to hold the pen close to the nib and the larger nibs feel more comfortable to me. I think I will opt for the Noodler's pen, perhaps the Ahab or some other model. Thank you James for presenting a great review of this interesting pen and that you can eyedropper fill it which is a good option for me. Most converters just do not hold enough ink (the converter on the Jinhao 9019 and 9016 are the exceptions).
This pen is similar to the Camlin Elegante. I think Camlin is not a very popular Indian fountain pen brand among foreigners, as they have very few fountain pens in their lineup as of now. But, many Indians, especially the ones who did their schooling in the 90's and the early 2000's would definitely have good memories about Camlin eyedropper pens. I think Camlin, now, has a tie up with Kokuyo Japan. If you could please try out the Camlin 47, Camlin trinity and Camlin Elegante fountain pens. They are cheap, but the main issue I find with Camlin pens is that their quality is not very consistent, which sometimes causes huge disappointments.
the shab is in fact all sourced from india...so there will of course be similarities...nice hand writing mr. pastor 😀 seems you worked a little on your speed 😂 have a good day from damp and extremely hot europe

Agreed, lots of great 5s out there. Jinhao makes some decent stub 5 nibs as well.
Wow, I actually order this last week. Cant wait to give mine a try 😍
Love the deep red color and thats in the big side.
Very good review. I am buying one. Thank you!

Nice review, James.
Jg3 is definitely the best fountain pen TH-camr. He's charming and the videos are well made, he also looks just like my old science teacher.
I think I would call the converter a vacuum converter rather than a push-pull converter. Nice review as always James.

8:40 if you're getting that much colour saturation from Pelikan Königsblau, it's plenty wet, I think.
Something so soothing about your voice 😀

A mi también me hubiese gustado un plumín del número 6. Saludos

Definitely. I didn’t mention it, but I included the ability in the specifications.
Good looking pen, but website only shows price in rupees and when checking out only lists India as billing address. Bummer
I bought this quite a few years ago. For the price it should have a better convertor. I love it but in my experience the pen dries out very quickly.
The tiny nib in your caption looks ridiculous, but the overall design and quality look really nice, should de worth trying 😬
Looks like a metal ahab
