Out of curiosity (and because it won't allow me to post just pictures), I used our postal scale at work:

Noodler's Konrad - .6 ounces

Esterbrook J - .7 ounces

Rotring Newton - 1.4 ounces

Boy, I'm usually much better at keeping my lines straight..........!

You know, I wonder if that TWSBI nib with the two slots cut down the sides of the tines (image above) will hold up? Having some general experience with metals and fatique cracking, that first slot toward the nib tip is directly in line with the breather hole, and a crack could easily enough form at the end of the slot and travel right to the breather hole allowing one entire tine to break off. I have seen something similar happen in other metal items. It may not be an issue at all, but if I were crafting such a nib, I would not put that slot directly in line with the breather hole. I guess, looking at the photo above again, the slot is angled slightly behind the breather hole.

 

OK, never mind.

Do the notches make it more flexible or is there another benefit?

I believe so. This one was called either the bad boy or the angel, I don't remember for sure which.

Great idea.

I've gleaned so much info from you guys and your reviews that I should photograph them and trickle them onto the forum for anyone else looking to try a new ink.

 

I don't want to flood the board with them though.

Any suggestions as to the best way would be most appreciated.

 

Love this thread. So many beautiful things to see . . .
