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.
