Fantasize Your Unconventional Nibs And Tipping I Know Its Stupid

[Algester]

If you were to make your own nib and tipping from unconventional materials as we have known Palladium, Gold, and Steel have been used and commonly the dreaded Iridium, and various alloys has been used as a tipping material, this may or may not be related to the most expensive pens in the world

 

hmmm having researched about metals... how does Zircon and Tungsten Carbide sound LOL I know I'm playing safe... but I always wanted a pure gold glass nib LOL

I believe tungsten carbide is used in the rollerballs, they probably aren't used because of their chemical properties, since WC has a pretty low resistance to all kind of acids, they might fail to survive as long as iridium.

I have a roller ball right now that can accept FP inks... will see how far will that go but doesnt Visconti also make those uhh Eco Roller... if so do they claim the same longevity?
