Why not buy one decent pen "shell" and then just buy the plastic tube with the tip and the ink afterwards?

I know many companies use pens for marketing but still, they could apply this too and also stand up for the environment while still do marketing.

the ink can handle a bit of water

Google "waterproof fountain pen ink". Here's a comparison of 137 waterproof black inks.

India ink is for drawing, not for fountain pens. You need a specialised indiagraph to use it.

I've had multiple pens in my bag, the worst leak dirtied the nib a bit.
