I got an email from them today saying that they now have a Fine version of this nib, and apparently the reverse writing on this nib is intended to be Bold (or what he calls Mega). All made to order within 5-10 days of the order being received, according to the email. Unfortunately I am somewhat constrained budget-wise this month, so I'll have to wait and see. Also I'm still considering the price, and whether I want to try one out somehow before buying. I have two or three regular open titanium nibs, and I like them, but they cost well under 1/3 of this price ($385). If you also buy a pen from him you get 12% off the nib cost. I'm tempted...

I've been using my buddy's for a while now. Very smooth but closer to a medium-broad.

The reverse is a fine which is a nice option.

I tried the new monoc nibs in Tokyo pen show. I usually dont like small sized pens but theirs are splendid.
The nib is very comfortable to write. I simply admire how innovative it is.
Though the price is way over my budget.

This might be the only nib made in the USA, which would make the SCHON DSGN fountain pens with Monoc nibs the first fully American fountain pens since Sheaffer closed Ft Madison, yes/no?
