Excellent seller!!!!
If you're worried about breaking or chipping a glass pen, or find them to be a little scratchy, this nib is really great. I love using it for making ink swatches, writing letters, and doing journal entries. It's really convenient to be able to switch inks quickly without having to clean and then refill a fountain pen. The nib feels really similar to a regular steel fountain pen nib. It doesn't hold a lot of ink because there's no reservoir, so you'll have to dip more frequently than with other nibs or a glass pen. The ink flow right after dipping is wetter than with a M fountain pen so I've noticed a little bit of paper wrinkling when writing on 52gsm Tomoe River. But it pretty much goes back to normal after it dries for a while. Overall, would recommend!
