That said, I find it very pleasing to the eye on its own right. The marbling is on the surface itself and does not glow from within like the latter material. These are injection moulded CAB plastic though, not PMMA/ acrylic, let alone hand turned, so lacks the visual depth and chatoyance of marbled resin. Uncapping the pens, one finds an ink window (very useful since its an opaque body piston filler) rimmed by two more gold rings, cap threads and a girthy and reasonably long section that slopes down gently and flares slightly, but abruptly near the nib.īoth the marbled patterns are quite attractive, to say the least. there is a thick cap ring, a clip supported by a visible clip ring and a ring between the barrel and the cap protecting the piston knob. The pens come in marbled plastic bodies with gold accents. To make matters easier, Kanwrite will send you the nib, on your request, pre-fitted into a Bock or JoWo housing. They also have a 14K gold nib which looks very similar to an Aurora 88 and is excellent (however, I find the gold nib an overkill for a pen in this range - I would get it for a custom hand turned pen (as I have), for which there are lot of good options in India. All choices, however, may not be available with all retailers. They have a huge variety of nibs, not only the usual F,M and B, but unusually for the sub INR 2000/USD 30 market, they also offer EF, BB, Fine flex, and an extra-fine flex also. Kanwrite makes their own nibs, and as I will talk in detail below, they are generally very good. I haven't seen one around, but if you wish, the there are black pens and burnt-orange pens readily available for a cap-swap (if you are willing to be stuck with another pen with the reverse combination.). Another combination that I personally would wish to see would be one with a black cap and burnt-orange body - I think it would look great on this pen. I find the marbled patterns the most pleasing to the eye, and out of a shortlist which also included the excellent looking red marbled variant, I chose the green and blue marbled versions (mainly because I have an OCD of matching inks to pens, and I have (and write with) a lot more of greens and blues than red. The pens come into a huge variety of colors, solids, translucents and certain marbled patterns. The Kanwrite Heritage is a largish piston filler pen from Kanwrite or Kanpur Writers, a pen nib manufacturer based out of Kanpur, India. The body is pleasing to the eye albeit without feeling premium (but acceptable quality for this price). TLRD: the pens are great value for a price of under $30 the nibs (and feeds) and ergonomics are the real stars. I will also talk a bit about writing with the KW Fine Flex nib which had brought separately for another pen (this is I think the same nib as the Noodler's flax pens). One with a Fine nib (currently the blue, but it changes), and one with a medium. So here are some thoughts on my two Kanwrite Heritage pens - One in Green marbled pattern and the other in Blue marbled.
