Sorry for reviving an old thread, but your penmanship is simply perfect! Where did you get a single tone flex nib? I thought Richard uses the custom Pelikan M400 two-tone nibs. So is this the customization you got: Pelikan M400 nib, XXF, full flex? You mentioned $145-190, but it is currently listed at $255. Is there another page I should be looking at on his site, or did he simply raise his prices?

Thank you

Given the year the original post was made (2009). I'm pretty sure the prices simply have increased.

They were around ~$221 earlier this year, but with the monotone M250s.. which have been discontinued just a few months ago

I have the M250 XXF full flex nib from Richard Binder, and have used it nearly continuously since I got it back in 2010 ($190). I was recently on his webpage and see that he modifies M400 nibs now ($255). I'd be interested to know if these can be made as flexible as the M250. The answer is probably yes, but I still like to know.

A question for the OP. Does the nib lend itself well to regular writing? Say like really fast note-taking on the High School level. I like to do my titles in flex and my lists in regular handwriting.
