Have it got flex nib?

I don't understand language this video...But nib looks like a flex nib. Am I right?

Flex, I wouldn't say that . Of course, if you push a little bit on it, the nib gets something like elasticity. The pressure makes the nib have a good flow and being rather wet ...

Next one(s) for me are Faber Castel Ambition Pearwood, Parker 51 (Blue/Grey) and Pelikan M400 (Blue or Green). Now, to find the funds and prioritise which one. Suggestions welcome as I am fairly new to the FP world.

I was actually planning on getting a Pelikan M205 next, but having on a whim checking out some pricing for the Sailor Sapporo. For about the same price I'm tempted to go for the Sailor.

 

Decisions, decisions!

 

I do want a Pelikan at some point though.

Omas 360 Burkina and Omas Extra Lucens

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

Well, I was saving for a Nakaya, but got side tracked by the Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze Age. I went to try if it wasn't too big or heavy in store, and it felt really nice in my hand. I'm going to give myself a week, because I've been thinking about the Nakaya for months and don't want to make rash decisions.

 

The Homo Sapiens is a real beauty though. Thanks Thier ;)

Onoto Churchill, now that they are back as a special-order item with Richard Binder.

I like the Namiki Falcon Classic look. As I also like using my Capless from Namiki, I ´ll have a look on that Falcon next time I enter my dealer's shop ....
