Stipula Model T


Susanna

Recommended Posts

Like the old car, also the Stipula Model T pen offers all the characteristics of a very high quality product, but at a very accessible price to a wide public.

 

One color (black), one nib: the special one-size T-Flex nib, in titanium, gives a great performance in terms of accuracy, flexibility and lightness, allows a perfect writing and meets whatever a pressure.

Susanna,

 

Could you be more specific as to the performance of the "T-Flex nib"? Does Stipula claim a vintage-type flexibility typical of Waterman's pens from the hard rubber era? Or is "T-Flex" just a brand name?

 

Thank you.

 

Fred

I'm also very interested in the nib performance? What is it like? Could you provide us with a writing sample?

 

EDIT: And what about the filling system?

Folks, if you go to the regional forum for Italian pens, there is a thread about the "T-Flex" nibs, including a writing sample. There are a lot of us who are intrigued by this "one size fits all" Ti nib and the claims seem to me to be for real. I intend to get one myself next month. (I shot my pen budget for September already.)

 

Edited: The filling system is c/c.

And Suzanna is a great person to deal with.

Since it's my picture, I'll add it here. Having seen a true wet noodle full flex nib (and owning it), I'd call this one semi-flex.

In other words, it's about equivalent to an Omas Emotica F nib or an original M Stipula Ti 22 Nib (which are finer than the later, larger Ti nibs in M).

Okay. Based on the photo, it appears to be a typical modern M nib, and including "flex" in the name is pushing it unless you push it.

 

Like many, I'd love an out-of-the-box full flex nib.

      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
