Newton Knickerbocker with a #8 Bock nib

[dms525]

A while back, I ordered a 14kt #8 Bock nib ground to cursive italic by Pablo Carrasco  for a replacement that didn't work (A sad story from which I will spare you). So, I had this gorgeous and pricy nib looking for a home. By fortunate coincidence, while window shopping Shawn Newton's online store, I found this orphan Knickerbocker in an unusual ebonite sitting there conspicuously nibless. Clearly, an omen meant for me and my nib.

 

The pen arrived today, and I introduced the pen and nib to each other. It was love at first write!

 

 

Enjoy!
