Stub O' The Day

[Sagarb]

That is a wonderful pen, and calligraphy is doing justice to the magnificent nib! Thank yWhat ou for sharing this!

It's a beautiful pen..and the nib has done a real justice to your superb handwriting...Do you call it a stub or cursive italic?

Superb, I think Yama Budo is becoming your favorite ink nowadays..

[mehandiratta]

it is my favourite...

expensive inks are bought with quite a thought...

In rotation today is Pilot 78G – B Stub Nib inked with Lamy Turquoise Ink. This ink is my all time favourite Turquoise ink and it was also my first turquoise ink.

Pilot Stubs are more like Cursive Italics and have amazing line variation.

Kaweco makes italic nibs in 1.1, 1.5, 1.9 and 2.3 mm widths for the Sport classic. They do not make them for the AL-Sport, AFAIK. However, the nibs and feeds are interchangeable, if pulled from their carriers. As with other cursive italic nibs, the line variation is greater with the wider nibs. However, with a dry ink, the 1.1mm nib is moderately crisp. That is the nib used to write the text in the photos, above.

 

I have seen several complaints about Kaweco Sport nibs being excessively dry writers. I have yet to find one so dry it would not write nicely if used with an appropriately wet and well-lubricated ink.

Just inked up my Sheaffer Gaston Legacy 2 in lined gold with the wonderful Sheaffer stub. The pen was NOS but I am glad I finally got over the hump and inked it up.

Spectacular as ever! I think these pens - I have one too - are very underrated.

Sheaffer stubs are great - I have stubs on both a Targa and a Legacy, very pleasing to use.

Thanks for this informative post David, I didn't even realise that Kaweco made 1.1 and above sized nibs for their pens. Your handwriting shows how the nibs can reach their full potential

thank you

Its ONYX, a lovely ebonite pen from Guider Pens in use today which is inked with home-brew mix of Camlin Scarlet Red and Camlin Royal Blue.

The nib on this has been replaced with Wality #8 nib which is self grind to Medium Cursive Italic.

The word of the day is : Intransigence

I've been meaning to post here for ages... Nearly all my pens have stubs and are used frequently. Here's today's offering; A pen bought with my first months pay cheque some 35 years ago. Still as smooth a butter

 

 

Poor photo from my phone!
