Lovely Vac filler pen

This is my first Laban pen and bought it here. The pen looks nice with a look of "made by marble". It writes smooth, soft and with nice feedback. Thanks a lot Makoba for the opportunity.

Custom 74 has been an absolute delight, bought from Makoba, broad nib, 14K gold. As an entry level gold nib, works perfectly fine. Though, people worried about nib size comparisons between western and Japanese nibs, should reconsider buying broad nib for pilot custom 74 thinking it at per with for western sizes, it is not. "Broad" seems like universally "Broad" .

Amazing service from Makoba as always. Safe, secure and fast. Thank you Makoba Team.

I was looking for this colour and got at Makoba. Thanks Makoba. Ink performance is excellent.

It's impressive. 10/10. Upgraded version of Lamy 2000.

Best of the best fountain pens. Nothing comes close in terms of sheer writing experience.

i did not get this

Bharath from Makoba was polite kept me updated till I received my pen and my ordering experience was great. I loved the pen and I received it in proper packaging. The nib and feed is wet and the design is beautiful

This is excellent one at this cost. I have used many, but this is somewhat different. Balancing w.r.to weight is quite good. I had been trying to get it for many years, finally I got it. Thanks to Makoba.

The grip of the Pen is perfect. Nib moves on the paper very smoothly.
It would have been great if a Converter would have been provided with the Pen.

Nice to hold and good to write

Lamy AL-star Fountain Pen - Black

Was confused in Fine an EF nib, but then went with the EF and yes, thats the exact thickness i needed. The pen is smooth as a butter even with EF nib. It’s nothing like i have ever used. And a special thanks to Karuna mam for helping me out with the purchase and solving all my queries and doubts.. I was using Parker Vector for the whole of my life, since i remember using a pen. This one is just a bar ahead of that. Its not cheap though, but when you look at fountain pens cost for the good ones, it’s worth a spend…
About the cons…the pen is a bit thick, and the seam near the barrel is kind of noticeable.

After much deliberation, I decided to buy the Platinum Curidas Abyss Blue fountain pen from Makoba, as I was very intrigued by the retractable nib mechanism that this pen possesses. The translucent blue resin body shows off the intricate mechanism by which the nib is retracted into the body and is covered with a plastic cap to prevent the ink from drying. It writes as good as it looks and the medium SS nib is smooth with a satisfying tactile feedback. Overall a delicious pen and with Makoba's immaculate customer care, I hope to have many years of smooth writing.
