Putha Midi Fountain Pen

About the Putha:

The first Putha midi fountain pen was a custom-order with some very challenging requirements. The customer wanted a pen that had: a) a capped length of only 5 1/4″, b) use a #6 nib, c) postable cap, and d) would accept a full-size converter. And in the end, I met them all! So although it may look like a fairly simple pen, there’s a lot packed into this little, understated pen.

The Putha (pronounced “PU-the”) is named after Putha Hiunchuli (also called Dhaulagiri VII). It’s a mountain in Nepal and part of the Dhaulagiri Range. It lies at the west end of the Dhaulagiri II chain and is 7246M high, making it the 95th highest mountain in the world. If you’d like to learn more, see here: wikipedia / Putha Hiunchuli.

The length is 5 1/4″ capped and 4 3/4″ uncapped. The posted length is 6 3/8″. The maximum diameters are cap 5/8″ and barrel 9/16″.

Because of the original requirements, the only upgrades that could be made is swapping the nib for 14k or 18k gold. The clip used has the ring set about 1/8″ from the top, so an accent band can’t be added to the finial.

Inking system: The standard inking system is cartridge/converter (C/C). I haven’t made them, but the barrel should support eyedropper, lever, or vacumatic. The barrel is too short for a button filler.

Nib: The standard nib is a steel #6 Jowo. Finishes usually available are polished steel (PS) and all-gold steel (AGS). Nib tip sizes usually available are: x-fine, fine, medium, broad, and 1.1 & 1.5 italic.

Clip finish: Clip finishes usually available are 24k gold and rhodium.
