Let customers speak for us.

Not only are the selling the best products at the best price, but the are also nice people to do business with.

Beautifully crafted and superb leather quality. The navy blue colour is so rich. However, I have a suggestion for the company. Instead of the option of the slim A6 notebook on the right sleeve if the company gives 2 pockets and 2 extra pen loops then would be really useful for fountain pen lovers. One could fit in 2 extra pens and also use the slip pockets to store various accessories like pen drives. blotting paper, extra converter/ cartridges, an ink vial, etc. Mokoba always provides best price, fast shipment and safe delivery and hence the overall experience was 5 star.

First of all I would like to appreciate Makoba's service. It's top notch, the delivery was superfast(2 days, I live in tier 2 city so most delivery take atleast 3-4 days) packaging was awesome so product wasn't damaged and the pen in itself is awesome. This is my first pen and I am using diamine sapphire blue ink and it's working good. At first the pen wasn't working properly, I thought it was a manufacturing defect but soon realised my pen holding technique wasn't good but now it's working fine and it glides over paper like butter. The ink flow is good and so far it's definately been worth it. I wrote 3 full pages without even realising and my hand doesn't hurt at all. And you can write fast too and it will work properly. The pen's build quality is top notch and it just feels good quality by holding it. Only one issue the colors are not exactly the same as shown is images

The shopping experience is excellent. The MAKOBA site is very user friendly and has a wide range of pens. The payment process was also smooth and packaging was perfect. The pen is beautiful and very slim which is good for me as I have small hands. The nib is smooth with no incidence of hard-start or skipping. Howver it writes a bit dry to my liking. MAKOBA supplied me with an extra SCHMIDT convertor as Diplomat does not supply it. My best gratitude for your extra efforts, however the convertor did not fit into the pen as its length was smaller. However I am using it with my other pens.

Easily one of the best writer in my collection. The overall size and dimensions are perfect. The nib is extremely well tuned and smooth for a fine nib. Love the color. This purchase has definitely turned me into a big Estie fan so much that I purchased a second one (Rainforest) within 2 days from my first purchase.

Pilot Kakuno, purchased with a fine nib, is an excellent choice for hobby newcomers. Despite its playful appearance, it performs admirably and features a triangular grip ideal for beginners. However, the absence of a converter is a notable drawback.

Kon-peki really is the perfect shade of blue for me. Unlike navy Shinkai or turquoise Ama-iro, it’s very balanced and gives that nice gel pen shade. It’s a pleasure to write with just the right amount of wetness which dries quick. Possibly my staple ink from now on

Lotus Student Ebonite Fountain Pen - Green BT

I'm an Intermittent buyer from online Makoba! Got every help before purchasing products - be it nib issues or hands-on images of products. Its representatives do respond, especially Mr Bharath. Genuine products. They have a huge stock, yet would like more pilot-sailor-platinum products. Highly recommended.

Loved the service , bharath was more then helpful

I have only heard about Ranga fountain pens, an elegant customised handmade Indian genre from a passionate maker. This is for the first time I saw this classic, simple yet beautiful and cigar shaped large yet so well balanced Ranga pen. Its an elegant pen with super smooth medium nib thats almost as refined as a fine nib and with such a smooth ink flow. The pen is very well balanced compared to the robust size. Its not meant for small hands. But every prolific writer and collector of fountain pen will admire the simple classic design and its performance. Just too good. I got this as a gift and the person who loves and only uses fountain pens appreciated the gift so much. Truly a blessing and definitely I am going to get it soon for my collection as well.

Its a smooth write and the hold on the pen is also very easy. A wonderful buy from Pilot

Acrylic is beautiful. Writes smooth. Cigar shape is gorgeous. Received fountain pen on time. Good service.

This is your everyday use pen. Its a no non sense workhorse. Only con I can think of is its ink capacity. But then this is same for all pens with converters. This pen flows on any kind of pages without ink spread or blots.

When you look at a page written in Pelikan turquoise it entices you read on and on. The shade just grabs your attention.

I had bought this pen from FLIPKART almost two years ago. The craftsmanship of the pen is excellent. The green swirling marbled pattern is a beauty to look at. The pen writes fine-medium and the nib has a slightly springly feel to it, wherefrom you can get a fair amount of line variation. Till now I have not faced any incidence of hard-start and skipping. Even after leaving the pen unused for 15 days the pen started without any issues. The ink flows wet and has a slight feedback. you should go for this pen only if: 1. you love a slight feedback as the nib is not glassy smooth. 2. you have smaller hands as the pen is small in dimension and is very light. 3. at this price you can get pens with gold nibs of Indian and Japanese brands. So if you want to project the snob-value of the Pelikan brand you can go for it.

With so many models flooding the market from brands worldwide, choosing your ideal fountain pen in India can feel overwhelming. Here’s an expert guide to key factors influencing your buying decision:

Budget Fountain pens in India span a wide gamut from affordable to astronomical pricing. Have a clear budget in mind and stick to models in that range for best value. Popular student pens start around ₹100 while premium collectible models soar over ₹1 lakh.

Brand Storied fountain pen companies inspire great brand loyalty, and classics like Parker, Lamy, and Camlin enjoy strong goodwill. However excellent Indian companies like Cello also offer amazing bang-per-buck nowadays.

Design and Looks This is hugely subjective based on individual taste. Fountain pens come in every shape and size. Understated professional looks, flashy bling, vintage charm, minimalist cool – take your pick! Colors and decorative trims let you show off personality.

Nib Type The nib determines writing feel on paper. Broad nibs make thick lines while extra fine nibs allow detailed writing. Most common is medium nib suitable for general writing. Specialty italic and calligraphy nibs also available.

Refilling System Modern pens take disposable ink cartridges or bottled fountain pen ink via an included converter. Vintage models use piston filling directly from bottles. Converters offer most flexibility at slight extra cost.

Weight and Grip Overly heavy pens cause hand strain while very light ones feel cheap. Ideal is 10-25gm range depending on your preference. Rubberized or contoured grips add comfort and control if you write for long periods.

While nibs and filling systems define fountain pens, some specialty types bring further variations:

Calligraphy Pens Fitted with wide italic nibs, these fountain pens create attractive thick & thin script. Unforgivingly rigid nibs demand perfect angles.

Luxury Collectible Limited Editions brands create special series showcasing exotic materials and bespoke craftsmanship. These appeal to connoisseurs as artistic showpieces bringing pedigree and legacy. Prices run astronomic due to strict limited number production.

Vintage Vintage pens from last century command collector interest due to appeal of materials and craft no longer available. Iconic brand examples like Parker 51 and Sheaffer Snorkel remain coveted despite age. Flexible nibs on earlier models also attract nibmeisters.

Beginner/Student Pens Made super affordable while retaining fountain pen basics, these target newbies and young writers.

Indian Pens Homegrown pen makers like Cello, Linc, Flair, and others focus on value-for-money models priced modestly. Build quality and reliability may vary between brands. Modern Indian pens offer impressive quality for affordable prices.

Pocket Pens Ultra-compact models fit discreetly in any pocket to enable writing on the go. These suit business people needing occasional note-taking ability without bulk.

Executive Pens Geared for office and business environments, these focus on elegant metallic bodies, luxury trim accents and professional colors conveying corporate polish. Writers appreciate balanced weight and extended writing comfort.

Color Barrels Injecting flair from fountain pens of yore, colored transparent barrels filled with ink reveal inner workings. Demonstrator and eyedropper pens also showcase workings through transparent bodies.

Fountain pens properly maintained will deliver decades of flawless service. Here are pro tips for keeping your pen in top shape:

Don’t Press! Fountain pen nibs don’t require pressure to lay ink unlike ballpoints. Let just the weight of your hand gliding lightly over paper do the job. Pressing risks sprung nibs.

Store Nib-Up Store capped pens nib pointing upwards to prevent ink leaks and flow issues. Storing horizontal or nib down causes flooding problems over time.

Protect from Heat Avoid leaving pens in hot cars or direct sunlight to prevent internal ink leakage issues. Temperature fluctuations risk capacitor sack bursts.

Regular Flushing Every few months, flush the nib and feed thoroughly with water to clear gunked residue. Soak overnight in lukewarm water for very cruddy models.

Inspect for Cracks Examine section and barrel carefully to check for hairline cracks allowing seepage of ink which will permanently stain the pen. Tiny cracks often cause major grief!

Q. Which is the best fountain pen for beginners?

For those starting out with fountain pens, the Camlin Elegante series offers reliable writing performance at very affordable pricing. With classic looks and lightweight construction, these pens make an ideal starter choice. The Pilot Kakuno is another great beginner option with its molded finger grips and cheery barrel colors.

Q. Which is the best fountain pen for gifting?

Packaged in a premium gift box, this pen carries the iconic Parker brand cachet and writes sublimely thanks to its precision nib.

Q. Which is the best fountain pen for everyday office use?

For daily writing comfort during extended work sessions, the Lamy Safari is a classic choice. Its lightweight ABS plastic body, molded grip and ultra-reliable German precision nib will power through reams of reports and notes. The Parker Frontier Matte Black GT is another workhorse pen ideal for professionals seeking a durable, no-nonsense writing partner.

Q. Which is the best fountain pen for students?

The Camlin Trinity offers amazing value for students by combining fountain pen, ballpoint and mechanical pencil modes in one smart pen. The color-coded barrels add visual appeal. For those seeking an all-fountain pen option, the Hero Gold Leaf 3-pen set is very affordably priced while offering smooth writing.

Q. Which is the best luxury fountain pen?

For those seeking a truly upscale writing experience, the Parker Duofold International in Black GT with 18K gold nib is tough to beat. Crafted from precious resin with 23K gold-plated trims, this heavyweight pen is a favorite of CEOs and VIPs worldwide. Cartier, Montblanc and other bespoke brands also offer ultimate luxury options.

Q. Which is the best fountain pen with a fine nib?

The Lamy Safari with extra-fine steel nib creates crisp, narrow lines ideal for small handwriting or intricate drawing. The German-made nib has a bit of tactile feedback while remaining very smooth. In the affordable category, the Pilot Metropolitan with fine nib also produces beautifully controlled lines on most paper types.

Q. Which is the best fountain pen for long writing sessions?

The Pilot Custom 823 is regarded as one of the most comfortable fountain pens for extended writing. Its lightweight resin body, generously sized grip section and perfectly tuned 14K gold nib create an exceptionally fatigue-free writing experience. The vac-fill mechanism also holds a massive amount of ink, so you won’t run out during those long sessions.

Q. who invented fountain pen ?

The first known fountain pen was invented in the early 19th century by Romanian inventor Petrache Poenaru. He devised a pen with an ink reservoir in a barrel and a sliding pipe allowing ink to be regulated through capillary action. The various pens of the 19th and 20th centuries further refined the fountain pen principles to bring the modern fountain pen as we know it today.

Q. how to use fountain pen ?

Some key guidelines for effectively using a fountain pen:

• Hold the pen comfortably without gripping too tight. Let just the weight of your hand glide across the paper. Pressing risks springing the nib.
• Store the pen nib up to avoid leaks and ink flow problems
• Periodically flush the nib and feed to remove any dried residue
• Use fountain pen friendly paper to prevent feathering and bleeding
• Choose the right nib width for your writing style e.g. fine nib for tiny script
• Consider converter for greater ink capacity and choice vs cartridges
• Rinse thoroughly if changing ink brands/colors to prevent bad mixes
• Avoid extremes of heat/cold to prevent ink leaks

Q. how to use a fountain pen ?

Q. why choose fountain pens over ballpoints today.

Modern ballpoints are convenient and affordable. However fountain pens create a superior writing experience treasured by writing enthusiasts. The flowing ink, choice of creative colors, and nib gliding over paper results in more artful, decorative script. Writing becomes a joyful creative process quite unlike a ballpen’s scratching and pushing.

Q. How expensive can fountain pens get?

Basic models start under ₹100 while customized artisanal limited editions run into millions and attract celebrity collectors. More complex filling systems, decorative finishes and embellishments add to cost. Hundreds of manufacturers worldwide serve fountain pen fans across the entire economic spectrum.

Q. Any good fountain pens for left handers?

Left handers face two issues: ink smearing as hand passes over fresh script, and nib erosion on side strokes. Special lefty nibs have ink flow directed downwards avoiding smears. Quick-drying ink also reduces smudges. Smooth paper reduces friction eroding lefty nib edges. So yes, some models work better for lefties!

Q. Do fountain pens still need refilling with modern cartridge converters?

Converters offer tremendous convenience and flexibility compared to earlier systems needing manual filling from ink bottles. However bottled fountain pen inks provide far greater color and properties variety compared to cartridges. For fountain pen aficionados, there is an allure to using vibrant bottled inks.

Q. Why do some fountain pens cost more than branded smartphones?

High-end limited edition pens qualify as artisanal showpieces for connoisseurs. Complex filling systems, exotic materials like solid gold, elaborate hand decoration and bespoke nibs created by master craftsmen account for astronomical pricing rather than just writing utility. These appeal as rare artistic creations and status symbols.

We hope this comprehensive guide offers insightful perspective into the fountain pen landscape of India today for both new and experienced users. Whichever pen you choose, fountain pens transform the act of writing into a sensory pleasure which digital devices can never hope to match. If you truly care about writing, do yourself a favor and turn to an instrument that gives the process respect. Our hand may have evolved to hold everything from fruits to mouse, but nothing invokes its natural flourish better than a fine fountain pen. Go ahead, give it a try!

LAMY Safari Fountain Pen - Charcoal Black - Extra Fine Nib

• Ergonomically shaped grip section.
• Ink window in the barrel.
• Easy ink installation—simply put the cartridge inside the barrel or grip section, then screw the barrel and grip section together to automatically puncture the cartridge.
• Sturdy ABS plastic construction.
• Large, flexible metal pocket clip.
• One blue ink cartridge .
• To prevent the ink cartridge from being punctured in transit, this pen comes with a cardboard spacer ring between the barrel and grip section. The ring must be removed before using the pen.
• This pen may come with ink residue in the nib from being dip tested by LAMY at the factory. As with all new fountain pens, we recommend giving your pen a good cleaning before you use it.
