Gorgeous nibs! Great photos. Do you have any medium obliques?

 

Hi line, I don't know if you've noticed but I usually only go for the wider nibs. However, I did find one just for you - a Pelikan 140 with an OM nib.

 

 

zoniguana, the group therapy session starts in 20 minutes at the Goulet Pens warehouse. See you there!

Thanks, dcpritch! This is the kind of pen I will be hunting for now! (I've noticed that you have a bunch of flexers, broader nibs have just recently come to me)

Hello PensMakeMemories, Good call; it's a Beautiful Blue Safari.

All of my LAMY nibs are italics, I love the line variation.

 

This new addition is another 1.1mm, which I think is the optimum width for interesting lines and utility. I have tried all varieties of the LAMY nibs and have settled on 1.1mm as the standard.

I can use it for work and still enjoy the line differentiation.

 

Thank you, yes this ink combo is nice. I like to match pens to inks or vice versa. (a bit crazy I know, but the Universe just runs better! ).

 

Your Sailor 1911 looks very good, I've heard only positive things about them and that the nibs are always smooth and flow well.

 

Well, enjoy your fountain-pen journey and thanks for the reply.

 

Best regards,

Steve.

 

P.S. I think your 'name' is excellent; - says it all really.

That R & K ink looks fantastic! I feel another liquid import coming on.

 

PhilProf and JulesSilvan; GREAT choice of pens guys!

Thanks SJH. I 'up-nibbed' to a 1.1 from an EF after seeing all the great writing samples here, including yours and skysora's from months back. I'm very satisfied.

PhilProf;

 

I have found that I only use italic nibs now.

The LAMY italics are Cursive Italics, (less sharp), and the Sheaffer Calligraphy, (called the No-Nonsense in the USA), are a crisper italic nib.

They are both, IMHO, fine pens.

 

 

 

Enjoy the Journey.

 

Best regards,

Steve.
