Sapphire Pilot Falcon SEF, inked with Aurora Black.

 

My first modern "flexible" nib, my first Pilot and my first Japanese extra-fine. I must admit, it takes more than a little getting used to. I'm glad Pilot calls these nibs "soft" and not "flexible" and I now know I've been spoilt by a vintage Waterman 52.

 

I do appreciate the extra-fine lines it can create, and super-extra-fine if you use it with the nib upside down (carefully!) The Pilot looks to be a great pen for sketching, doodling and, in time, very small writing in a Palmer / Business Writing style.
