Enjoying Montblanc Pens — Broad, Oblique, Extra Fine, Le & Bespoke

[Blueberry567]

I don't know much about broad nibs let alone bespoke, but is there any particular reason for the slits not to reach breather hole?

[benbot517]

Wow! My jaw dropped at the sight of that! It's gorgeous!

Thank you for this beautiful and very useful series of photographs! The bespoke nib is fabulous--as is the handwriting sample. I very much appreciate the photo with the range of nibs and the handwriting samples from each nib. Your contributions to this site are always so interesting, useful, and very informative.

This needs a new word to destribe it. How about Fantabulosity or Stupendiferous?

 

Congratulation on making this a reality and ahring with us. Your boldness of choice is well rewarded with such a final result.

I dont think I am precocious enough to use such a word.

Hello All,

 

Yesterday I finally received a very special nib and wanted to share it with you.

 

During Axel Nier's last visit to Dubai, he had a beautiful Signature nib on his Heritage 1914. It just looked wonderful.

 

After much discussion, we sought if it would be possible to design something similar but instead of it being a Signature nib it would instead be a Cursive Italic Signature Small.

 

That is with properties of a sharp CI and 25% smaller than a Signature. It would put it roughly midway between a Signature and a OBBB. Estimated 5/6B.

 

Et voila the net result finally installed on the Goliath Heritage.

 

 

Arabic has such a beautiful script, so much more artistic than other written languages. thanks for the pictures.

Notice how the fine lines across (smaller than a F nib) and the breadth of the down strokes (larger than a 5B) make very nice variation. Unfortunately the paper isn't that good to show as its extremely ink resistant.

 

 

And here's an assortment or bouquet for all of you speciality nib lovers out there

 

Just absolutely lovely Pravda. Maybe you could post this picture on that other thread where certain philistines are complaining Montblancs look boring.

Just Perfect.

 

Gotta love cursive italics!

Great pics yeepers! Make me want to send him one of my MBs next (he has 3 of my Pelikan nibs for CI grinds right now)

Such a nib suits well to your pretty neat handwriting.

Punned again!

Having fun at the office:

 

[Ghost Plane]

I want more of Pravda’s fancy CI nib.

That makes two of us!

That Bespoke Cursive Italic Small Signature Nib is one-of-a-kind.

We need to see more of the nib as it's the very finest.
