What Nibs Are In Your Current Rotation?

[ravantra]

Variation on a theme. I know there are "what ink" or "what pen" are you using threads here already, but I don't see a what nib are you using thread.

 

I have 11 pens inked today and have the following:

 

Four 1.1 mm stubs - steel nibs

Four medium - 2 gold & 2 steel

Two bold - 1 gold & 1 steel

One fine stub - gold (vintage)

[Koyote]

3 broad stubs

3 mediums

2 extra fines

 

That is a lot for me. Will flush out and store a couple when they run out of ink.

[wlwilcox]

3- Mediums

2- Broad

1- Flex

 

The ones I have listed are in current rotation.

In the ones not in rotation I have:

3- Mediums

2- Fine

2- Brush

Empty will be cleaned and put away.
