Hi, guys! My husband and I have recently gotten back into fountain pens (we both used them to write in school and then moved on to other pens like fineliners and gel pens). We've been reading everything we could find on fountain pens and FPN has been a very valuable resource! We came across this thread from 2007, specifically this post, which mentioned nitinol as a possible material for a nib. My husband had some sheets of nitinol on hand, so he took a few stabs at making and writing with a nitinol nib. Here are the results! http://i.imgur.com/La9KMsrm.jpg http://i.imgur.com/HJKKzFGm.jpg Not bad for something handmade, I think.
