New Fritz Schimpf Special Edition 146 With Italic Nib

[jmccarty3]

That writing sample is very impressive!

Thank you for sharing that letter. I'm very tempted to pick one up now. It looks quite stubbish and very crispy. My kind of nib!

I also visited Fritz Schimpf" web page, where they posted another couple of samples. It is, indeed, a very desirable nib. Being a "Special edition" it is a bit over my meanings, but very desirable nonetheless. Actually, it seemed to me one of the best Montblanc modern nibs altogether.

 

As Montblanc gave such a clear example of their virtues in making this kind of italic-slightly-stubbed nibs, it would really interesting if they would add this variant to their nib choices.

Lovely! Hoping these are a complete fast sell out so we can have a 149 version for those of us who find the 146 too small.

 

Yes please.

I just ordered a Montblanc x hope the wify doesnt find out

[jmccarty3]

Ask her to wrap it as a seasonal gift for you.

[Memorexx]

:D

 

told her it was a bargain...and on sale

 

Should arrive tomorrow...but I am not home tomorrow...maybe my neighbor is home and can sign for it

[meiers]

Tell us all about it please.

[Memorexx]

not here yet DHL is slow in Germany...maybe tomorrow...but no one is home tomorrow here...hopefully my neighbor. If so, I will write something up for you guys

I am excited to see if the italic nib is sooooo much more different than my JFK B Nib

[Memorexx]

anyone else ordered a fritz schimpf special here? Or am I the first one?

[Memorexx]

Oh boy. No one home. So I will get my pen tomorrow I guess

[Memorexx]

So my pen is here

The packaging of Fritz Schimpf is really beautiful...it's a carton wrapped in brown paper. Whoaaa

 

I need to write some more with this pen to say if I really really like it...It is not as smooth as my other MBs.

The line variation is pretty noticeable...but it is quite similar to my B Nibs...and the B nibs are smoother...

 

but see for yourself

 

[thygreyt]

Its an italic vs a stub.

[Memorexx]

yeah...after writing a couple of pages, I found the sweet spot of the italic nib...pretty cool actually

Fantasizing about a 149 with a BB italicized.

Dream bigger, or in this case wider...

Dream bigger, or in this case wider...

I’d pounce on a BBB in a heartbeat. Fritz might want to start with a BB to get the ball rolling. Look how terrified the narrow nib contingent are of a simple B.

Were they to know of the wider than BBB dreams of a few of us...they scarf down chocolate chip cookies like there's no tomorrow.

Those larger than life nibs are where the fun is...as you've been saying for years.
