What Are Your Opinions On Edison's Richard Binder Full Flex Nibs?

[discopig]

Are they worth the price? How do they compare to vintage flex? I'd love to see writing samples if you have any. I found a few by searching but there doesn't seem to be many.

 

I've been interested in buying an Edison pen, and I figured while I was at it I could give these full flex nibs a try, but I'd like to know more about them first.

He has a writing sample near the end of the video at around 7:20ish.

That guy seems sketchy.

 

I have one and while it is soft, it is not super springy. I would compare it to a Super wet noodle vintage flex. I was hoping to secure a semi-flex nib as well at the Ohio pen show but it appears Mr. Binder will not be attending due to personal matters. Based on the feel of the full flex I suspect his semiflex nib may more accurately compare to vintage flex.

 

As to the question, are they worth the price?

 

If you love flex nibs, yes, definately. It is super wet, I can do flourishes super fast with no problem, and it flex writes without railroading. It is tremendous.
