Bluedewpens nibs are truly remarkable

January 10, 2024

I found these nibs by chance. I do love flex caligraphy and they are the best experience by price you can get nowadays. Just you need to be aware that flex is 1/2 but the other 1/2 is the ink flow and that's not trivial.

These are from the "flex series", #3 is italic flex 1.1 (you can ask for 1.5 or bigger).

They send the full housing, feed and nib. I think they are for BOCK but i don't have bock pens to try.

The result is quite good for me, not even Falcon #10 get this broad flex.

The Italic 1.1 grind provides a quite personal writing similar to stub.

The polymer feed from Gravitas (Jowo #6) allows to adapt easily the bluedewspen flex nibs too, but you need to wet the polymer in order to sustain a good ink flow. I ise it with Gravitas Ultemate VAC with the screw fully opened.

They are the most fun nibs in 2023 for me, but the issue is the ink flow. I use the nibs adapted in the the Kanwrite Legacy with ebonite feeders. In these indian fountain pens, these nibs really shine.

In the web it is adviced that eventually the nibs can be damaged by corrosion. In my experience, after changing all types of inks and a year of use, they do not corrode.

Compared to good gold vintage flex nibs (or Magna Carta M600) these nibs are quite scratchy. But with the good angle, enough ink flow and good paper (no Midori MD cotton, please), they are awesome and cheap.

Add that the nibs are scratchy.
