Kim & Co. Jumbo Ebonite Eye Dropper Pen

I thought I would share my first ebonite pen. It was purchased from Hari on FPN who had these modified by Indian pen maker, Kim & Co. The first impression I had was that it is HUGE!!! The ebonite is very dark swirls of dark grey and black that the camera has a hard time picking up. The nib is a fine point with good flow and fairly wet. I was thinking that the size of the pen would make it hold quite a bit of ink but it only holds about 1.5 ml's. Not bad though since the fine point nib really makes the ink last. I went two weeks on a fill using it every day for work. Writing with it took some adjusting because of the girth of the barrel. Here are the pictures along with a TWSBI Diamond 530 for a size anchor.

That's a huge pen! My own size limit is a TWSBI -- that's as big as I can comfortably manage. What's the balance like?

It is pretty well balanced and pretty light for its size. The adjustment for me was because of the girth. I figure if I ever develop arthritus, (which is very probable since it runs in the family) I'll still have a pen i can use.
