Hi All -

Sorry if this is a repost - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQA5_2yvDeA

This is a nice penmanship vid from Antoniosz, using a 9048 nib.

I have a couple of these nibs and they're much stiffer than I would have thought after watching Antoniosz work his magic. He makes it look easy, but the nibs are no where near as flexie as you'd think. smile.gif

You are correct, Todd. 9048 are semiflex at best and can give you line variation with some considerable force and proper angle of the pen.
But there is variability from nib to nib and this happens to be more flexible than the typical 9048 as I noted in the comments of the video.

Extra flexible or not, your writing Antoniosz is a work of art ... Very beautiful!
