I have a handful of Indian pens, and the article is pretty spot on. If you’re interested in something unique, custom, and/or hand made, Indian pens are by far the best value out there right now. Ranga is increasingly popular in that community. A big part of it is that a custom pen from a small US manufacturer might run ~$800-$1k; a comparable pen from a small Indian manufacturer will likely be <$200.

  The man in the article has his own site: http://www.fosforpens.com/ http://www.fosforpens.com/ I bet the hard part is finding out who actually makes and sells high quality pens. Betting that slick marketers have already copied the artisanal pictures and stories but have very poor quality "clones" shipping

      Peyton Street Pens is a CA-based retailer who sells Ranga pens in the US: https://www.peytonstreetpens.com/pens/ranga/ https://www.peytonstreetpens.com/pens/ranga/ If you’re looking for instant gratification from one of the vendors from the article, there you go. Fair warning: Ranga pens generally range from large to obscenely huge, so do some research to figure out what model(s) you might want.
