Just The Nibs

I think a lot of people wouldn't mind having that shot printed and framed.

Thank you so much.

I'm flattered that you like it.

Two edged nibs and one pointed nib. All are pretty good at what they do. At left, a M cursive italic tuned by Mike Masuyama. At right, a Jowo #8 in B cursive italic, tuned by Johann at Conid. At top is a FPNibs flex modification of a Jowo #6. Please excuse the writing.

I love this thread, some gorgeous nibs.Great thread to browse through in an idle moment.

Thought I'd post something of an anomaly, a Pilot MYU701.

Hard to photograph just the nib, as the whole pen is nib!

That Visconti is particularly nice, I don't think I'd seen one like that before.

Hi,

what about a Swan nib?

 

http://www.mikrographica.de/bilders/Swan_L245_60_flexM1.jpg

It's the semiflex medium nib of my Mabie Todd Swan L245/60. The one at the top on this picture:

The others are a SM205/60 and a SM100/60. I love black chased celluloid. :-)

Greetings
Jens

The Swan nib is gorgeous, they are such excellent writers! Delicate, yet robust and hardworking.

Your's looks as if it may have an architect's grind? (Nice!)

 

Some nice nibs posted above.

JonSzanto, I've never seen an Esterbrook like that. It is magnificent!

 

Great stuff. Thanks for sharing.

From left to right:

EDC flock:
1. Pelikan 100N - EF/EEF, stiff > Great for drafting.
2. Pelikan 100N - B (Breitspitze Mittel), semi-flex > One of my all time favourite nibs... the pen that I usually reach for. Just the right amount of flex and nice natural line variation due to it being one of those vintage stubby Pelikan nibs. <3 <3 <3
3. Pelikan 400NN - M modified to a loooooovely stubby B, flexy. <3 <3
4. Pelikan 400NN Schildpatt - OF, very smooth, nice line variation. <3

Guest stars:
5. Pelikan 500NN - M, semi-flex. Flight risk... this pen is very lovely to look at but the gold doublee cap is not that great for EDC.

6. Pelikan M200 Blue Marble - F, steel, smooth, boring but usable. This pen is primarily used as a nib test platform as it can take vintage Pelikan nib units of the 400/500 size.

...

 

Thank You,

 

those nibs are really great, and I like the pens of the 1930s, too. :-)

Thats why I got me a flock of Swans instead of a new Pelikan M805!

 

About the grind: No, it's not an architect's type, even it looks a bit like that.

This one makes broader down-strokes like usual.

I don't know if there were ever Swan architect’s point nibs made...

 

Best

Jens
