I am currently in the process of learning to love my FPR Himalaya V2. I was disappointed in it when I first got it, but I recently pulled it back out, and it is winning me over slowly but surely. I have been researching a bit about ebonite and how it is made, and it has given me a new appreciation for this pen. It is completely unique, and I absolutely love that. I have always preferred loving craftsmanship over clever engineering, so a pen like this would make sense for me. What do you guys think?

I have their cheapest pen (Indus). It works but the fit and finish is not that good (I knew this before buying). I bought it because you can get it with their ultra flex nib. Which is one of the few good flex options that won't make you go bankrupt (I'm on a budget). I like the nib, the feed is double slit and works quite well.

Nice. I'm happy for you if you like it. I haven't used that specific model of theirs, but I'm sure it's fun.
