Sailor Pen With "ski Jump" Nib

[miatagrrl]

I have a Sailor Profit "Fude De Mannen" pen as well as a Sailor DE Brush Stroke "calligraphy" pen. Both have a crazy "bent" nib that looks like a ski jump (angling away from the paper, not toward it, as other nibs I've seen). I love sketching with that nib! Both are also extremely inexpensive (and look it). I am wondering if Sailor makes a higher-end pen with the same type of nib but perhaps a better looking body? Source, please. . .? Is "fude de mannen" the search term I should use to indicate the type of nib I'm looking for? Or something else?

 

Thank you -

The Naginata Fude de Mannen bends away from the paper, the Naginata Concord bends toward the paper.

And I should add that Sailor makes them in 21K gold as well. http://www.nibs.com/SailorSpecialtyNibs.htm

they are considered in the specialty nib range... good luck! you can chuck those in any of the sailor gold nib pens same nib size of course

The Cross Music nib offers the same sort of line width variability.

Just a thought: that pen nib was designed to mimic the characteristics of a writing brush. Have you tried the brush tip pens that are available in different sizes and softness grades? They work like a felt pen, only with a brush tip. If you love the Fude De Mannen nib, you might also like using a brush tip pen.
