Beautiful nib and writing sample, thank you for sharing. Indulge us with a pic of your pen!

Soft or springy would be more adequate. Nice though

You have an amazingly beautiful pen. Congrats!

[Pravda]

Beautiful pen! Congratulations and welcome to FPN!

 

May I ask if it's a bespoke flexible nib, why are you pressing down on the nib itself to produce line variation? I have a feeling it'll eventually damage the pen on the long-run, perhaps its customized flex should be adequate?

[meiers]

I have asked myself the same question. I worry about placing too much pressure on the nib.

 

It's a wonderful pen. Thank you for sharing it here. Your photos and the video made my day.

Thanks for sharing! It's always nice to see a unique nib out in the wild. You did not mention whether it's from the bespoke Montblanc service or whether it's modified by a nibmeister? I hope it's part of the Bespoke service because Axel told me they also have a flexible nib.

 

I hope you don't mind if I offer a suggestion?

 

It's a bit scary when I see collectors use their flex nib with their pens held in a normal grip. If you notice in your video, you are putting a lot more pressure on the right tine than on the left. In the long run it will really affect the performance of the pen. Try shifting your pen angle so that it's aligned with your down stroke so that you put even pressure on both tines.

Great ink flow. Does it have the standard feed or did they do anything special to help it keep up?

 

Beautiful!

I read it and while understand that such nibs need presurre applied to being out characteristics, actually pressing the tines doesnt feel right to me :/

i coundnt more agree with it

but when i asked that to mb, they said that if use wet noodle nib, it unable to withstand pen(especially skeleton)weight

in short, they make on purpose

so im going to order another nib with my elb phillharmonic 149

[Ghost Plane]

I can't wait to see what you get with that one! Thank you so much for the detailed explanation and pictures.
