Tight on time today, kids, but I wanted to whet your appetite a little bit about a couple of incredible pens that I’ve been playing with for the past couple of days. Varuna is an Indian company that makes ebonite pens, and I frankly couldn’t believe the quality that they pack into these things…especially for the price! These things are truly outstanding! Great nibs, gi-normous ink capacity, and REALLY cool finishes! For less than $50 with a steel nib that writes this well, it’s really hard to go wrong!
I’ve got a full-scale review planned for these next week, comparing the Danitrio Densho raw ebonite to each of these two big eyedroppers from India…but for now, here’s a couple of quick shots of them side by side.
The Bakul finish compared to a Lamy 2000.
If you’re headed to NYC for the pen show, you should take a look at these things. Look for Steve Braun’s display and his big smile. I know Steve, and he’s a top-notch fella!

Nice looking pens. Can’t wait for the full review.
Nice post! I’ll link to it in the AM.
I’ve got one in a green and black mottled hard rubber. It is beautiful and writes beautifully. My only issue has been leakage. If you leave the pen on its side it is likely to leak out of the nib. I’ve also had a problem with leakage through the section and barrel joint. I’ve reapplied silicon sealant twice and used a lot more the second time. So far so good, but if it leaks again through this joint I’ll have to try to figure something else out.
I like this pen and really want to solve this problem.

What a tease!
I’d really love to see a full review of these.
These are so stylish pens!
Looking forward to the article. I somehow thought these pens were very expensive, maybe because of the Danitro in the picture. What a great surprise to find they are affordable!
