Can't beat a good TWISBI (well maybe Lamy can)

The twsbi diamond 580 is a fantastic pen in its price range, with a poston filling mechanism ,huge ink capacity and a JoWo number 5 nib that writes like a dream. If you're looking for a 'next level ' fountain pen , look no further. Awesome support and delivery from Makoba too

Improvements: WhatsApp message mentioned wrong pen name and caused a bit of confusion, though the photo was of the correct pen.
Excellent pen, careful packing, prompt delivery.

Overall, I'm happy with the reassuring process followed by Makoba where they communicate with the customer at every step: the pen check, packing and delivery.

Quite average pen

Pen is quite average. Why Sheaffer is making pens like this. It is blot to brand name. And give basic converter with it.

Exceptional writing quality

The pen has a great feel when writing it is smooth with feedback. The looks ok the other hand are very simple. You can definitely get something flashier at this price point but very few can compare to this pen in actual writing experience. A lightweight workhorse.

Better than avg Fountain inks under 1K- My New #1

I’m a steno-phile and very picky about my inks. This Pilot Blue/Black is now my top choice for daily writing. The color is much brighter than a standard pen, and the flow is incredibly consistent. It even has a tiny bit of sheen to it! It’s reliable, high-capacity, and looks beautiful on the page. Highly recommended for anyone who writes long-form.

It's a great product that is gender neutral..I mean I love gifts like stationery that are good to be gifted for all genders and any occasions and this one is a classic that never goes out of style..I have been a patron of mukul goyal products for the past 12 years since I was in Bengaluru and now in chennai..its one of the classiest piece of home products that are absolutely worth the price.

The Lamy safari killer

If u think safari is good u need to try this pen it’s feel better in hand adjusting tip so that nib doesn’t bend with ur writing style and best part if there’s a family member or friend who’s a lefty then this is heaven for them too

Esterbrook Model J

Fantastic smooth writer. One can’t stop writing with this specially if filled with brown ink. The Nib is smooth and soft. Would have been great with some more flexibility.

Likes: The standout features of this purchase are the ink's vibrant, persimmon-inspired color and its exceptional lubrication, which ensures an effortlessly smooth flow for a premium writing experience.
Improvements: Offering seasonal discounts or bundle deals on premium bottled inks would be a fantastic way to encourage enthusiasts to explore new colors and expand their collections.
Pilot Iroshizuku Fuyu-Gaki Review

Pilot Iroshizuku Fuyu-gaki is a stunning red-orange ink that perfectly captures the vibrant, warm hue of a ripe winter persimmon. When purchased through Makoba, the premium 50ml glass bottle arrives meticulously packaged, reflecting the retailer’s commitment to protecting high-end stationery. The ink’s performance is exceptionally reliable, offering a wet, well-lubricated flow that makes even the finest nibs glide across the paper with ease. While it is highly saturated, it still provides a subtle, sophisticated shading that adds depth to professional notes and personal correspondence. It dries reasonably fast on fountain-pen-friendly paper, making it a practical yet spirited choice for daily use in any busy work environment. For those seeking a bold alternative to standard blues and blacks, Fuyu-gaki offers a "pop" of color that remains highly legible and professional.

Likes: The standout elements of this purchase are Makoba's proactive, high-touch customer support and the sublime writing feedback provided by that expressive 21ct gold nib.
Improvements: The only suggestion for improvement would be the introduction of occasional seasonal discounts, which would be a welcome addition for loyal customers.
A Dream Realized – The Sailor Professional Gear (21k Gold Nib)

The Buying Experience: Makoba Sets the Standard I recently purchased the Sailor Professional Gear with the 21ct Gold nib from Makoba, and I have to start by talking about the retailer. As one of India’s flagship pen stores, my expectations were high, but they truly went above and beyond.

I was genuinely overwhelmed by their customer support team. It wasn’t just a transaction; it was an experience. They were incredibly proactive—contacting me immediately after I placed the order. What really impressed me was their transparency; they sent me actual images of the specific product via WhatsApp before dispatching it. This small gesture gave me immense confidence that I was getting exactly what I wanted.

Unboxing & Delivery The package arrived in mint condition, which speaks volumes about the care they take in logistics. The product packaging itself was stunning—opening it felt like a special occasion. It is rare to see a delicate instrument handled with such precision during transit.

The Pen: Sailor Professional Gear (21k Nib) Now, for the star of the show. I had high hopes for this pen, but it has completely exceeded my expectations.

The Nib: The 21ct gold nib is expressive and responsive in a way that lower-karat gold or steel nibs just aren't. It offers a distinct, sophisticated writing character.

The Feel: The "feedback" Sailor is famous for is absolutely present and amazing. It isn't scratchy; rather, it provides a tactile connection to the paper that gives you precise control. It delivers extreme writing pleasure that makes you want to keep writing.

Verdict If you are looking for a serious writing instrument, the Sailor Pro Gear is a masterpiece. And if you are in India, I cannot recommend Makoba enough for their authentic products and white-glove service.
