Welcome To The Broad Side...

[zaddick]

Lovely Broad nibs, I feel them calling me out from my XF-F ways.

Come. Come and join us. You can still keep your needle nibs, though they may get a little dusty from lack of use.

Pankaj, what is that interesting MB, please?

 

From the insect depicted on the nib, i deduce it honors a scientist.

 

Thank you.

I don't really know Montblancs well, but I'd say that's Franz Kafkas' Metamorphosis, since a roach is on the nib.

Thank you, @invisuu.

 

And looking again at this interesting video, an example of Franz Kafka's signature at 3:02.

 

Thanks again.

Thats right, MB WE Kafka. Interesting nib , interesting pen. Photogenic, but I have my own doubts if it's really that great.

Still I wd insist on a cookie

Those who aren't taken by MB are blessed . You could enjoy far too many pens for that value. Life isn't simply symbolic !

I generally don't like MB writers edition - usually, they are over designed for me (completely subjective opinion, of course). But I really like this one pankaj and Kafka is a great author. Thank you for the pictures!

 

LetterRevivalist, interesting videos, thanks for sharing. I had no idea this could be a viable business!

Here is a beautiful new addition -- a lovely, smooth bordeaux Waterman Gentleman fountain pen with a smooth broad nib. : ) This nib is great for line variation, when desired, as well as a nice amount of ink -- not too wet and never dry.

 

 

Now for the rotation so that you can see the nib from all sides, of course, close up.

That is a nice video! It is sad that so many folks do not know the joy and pleasure of writing letters to others -- maybe I should say the joy and pleasure of writing anything. Edited August 10, 2017 by elysee

Totally agree with you Invisuu. This WE is the fitting tribute to Kafka. The design and engraving on the nib all based on The Metamorphosis. I like this pen majorly in I adore Kafka novels and the deep intense message he gives.

Gregor Samsa had a tragic end tho.

Thanks.

Pretty attractive nib Elysee. And more prettier the handwriting.

Sorry LR, not a scientist but the great German author Kafka. The nib bears the picture of his fictional character, a monstrous vermin in his novel The Metamorphosis. Thanks for your interest.
