I had a pen with a rude nib and enjoyed using it for drawing. I assume that is what you will be using yours for. If so I hope you will post some of the drawings on The Write Stuff forum in the Pen Art Gallery here on FPN.

Nice! I like the matte finish. Do post writing and art samples!

These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value.--Thomas Paine, "The American Crisis", 1776

Thanks! I don't write much with the fude nibs -- I find it kind of awkward for that -- but I've been drawing with them (the cheaper ones) for several years now. My blog is full of those sketches, but I'll soon have more sketches done with the new fude and will post those eventually.

What did the nib say? All my nibs have been very nice and quiet. :P

I had an opportunity to take the new Sailor to my favorite coffee shop, which is where I tend to give my pens a good workout. You've probably heard people describe some cars as feeling like they are part of one's body? You make a turn, and it feels like your body is attached rather than simply contained in the car? That's the way this pen feels -- like it's part of my hand.

I've never had any formal training in drawing or painting, so my opinion may not mean anything as far as art critique is concerned, but your sketches look fantastic to me. :wub:

Thank you, Vlad! I'm totally self-taught too, so I don't know any better, either. ;-) But I appreciate your comments.

Wow, this is a great topic. I need to send my Naginata Fude De Mannen nib and pen back for service, because it doesn't draw like that for me.

How do "rude nibs" perform?

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
