The Guider Onyx (medium).

This is the medium size Guider Onyx, in Red/Pink rippled hard rubber. It houses a screw-in Schmidt F nib unit and can be used as an eyedropper filler as well as with a converter or cartridge. Handmade in Rajahmundhry, AP, India by The Guider Pen Works.

This is a well-balanced pen despite being a bit on the longer side. The nib is a smooth writer, coupled with the possibilities of it being used as an eyedropper filler for a larger ink capacity. It is a good idea to apply some silicone grease to the nib unit threads to avoid leaks at the section.

The finish on this pen is fabulous, as are all pens from the Guider stable.
