Kanwrite Gold and Titanium Nibs

Hi fellow fountain pen enthusiasts,

Does anyone here have any experience with Kanwrite gold and titanium nibs. I am talking about the #6 titanium and gold nibs and also #9 gold nib available with Kanwrite Mammoth. How is the smoothness and softness of these nibs out of the box? Do titanium nibs give more feedback than their steel counterparts? How are flex capabilities of these nibs, especially the ultra flex versions?

I am from India and Kanwrite is the largest and most trusted nib manufacturer here. I am planning to buy many pens from them with different nib combinations to figure out my real taste in fountain pens. I already own two Heritages from them with steel nibs. Currently my eye is on Legacy, Mammoth, or even more Heritages. Since gold and titanium nibs are pricier, I wish to know the user experience of others. I love smooth, wet, consistent, reliable writers and appreciate softness. I also intend to get into calligraphy with flex nibs. Any advice is highly appreciated.

I'm having a lot of fun with the Legacy and a Titanium nib. Not real flex but slight give, and some line variation. Nice wet flow (ebonite feed) and slight feedback. I ended up getting a zoom , xf, and left obliques as variations along with the pen.

 

@Gunkanes has a really nice thread that describes the titanium well, with pictures, that you might find useful.

Thank you so much! I have read this thread completely, and I have messaged @Gunkanes as well, I guess probably he is not that active on this site now. I am also considering to get a Mammoth with a Broad Gold nib, but I am not able to find much information regarding the user experience with Kanwrite Gold nibs, and especially the #9 one. If it does provide a cushioned writing experience similar to a Pilot Custom Urushi or Namiki Emperor, I would most probably buy it, but alas! no such information present.
