It's a 100% nail, it was designed specifically so you can write small and press hard on the paper without any flex. The line is very fine - like the 0.25mm gel pens - except it is smoother (!) and doesn't have any hard starts. Who could have thought a FP could beat a ball gel at this line size.....

The purple is Amber's handwriting from a co-razy-view. I basically can write within the width of her nib. Unfortunately this was "Bank Paper" on which my ink feathers like crazy. On Rhodia it is razor sharp.

Wow, let's go Co-RAZY! BTW, are you saying I write big? ;)

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

thanks for sharing - smoother eh? I suspect scratchy, but much less so than you'd expect?

"IMHO, the only advantage of the 149 is increased girth if needed, increased gold if wanted and increased prestige if perceived. I have three, but hardly ever use them. After all, they hold the same amount of ink as a 146."FredRydr, 12 March 2015

The size of your writing seems to be perfectly chosen in respect to the nib size :P

 

OK, duck, there will be a co-razy coming your way, entirely written with PO nib, prepare the magnifier lens :lol:

It is smoother than my EF nibs. You'll need some 30 minutes to adjust to the curved shape of the nib point, after that it's heaven. Anyone doing annotations / math / technical writing/drawing etc should consider this type of nib. It also works well on lesser quality paper (it was actually specifically designed to deal with such).

Some nice shading too... especially taking into account that the writing is 2.5mm tall and the drawing is 5mm tall....

 

The shading proves that this nib, although extremely fine, is WET, you don't need to apply any force for it to write. You just dance around on the paper's surface. This in much contrast to some EF *dry* nibs that you need to forcefully drag and scratch the paper with in order for them to leave an ink trace.

With that nib, a 1ml ink sample will last months.

      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
