What Are Your Thoughts About The Delta Fusion Nib?

[freeboy]

ok, I am new here but I have 4 deltas.. I super large 14k nib, nice and broad and wet. Another smaller m 14 k nib... a stainless steal nib, and a fusion...

 

For what ever reason, the Fusion is an amazing nib... maybe its extra time being tuned before shipping? I like all four, the stainless seems the stiffest, go figure. The two solid 14k nibs are good nibs, write well.. and very pretty. I do not think the fusion is priced much higher if you look at the sales vs the stainless. Mine is very nice. Maybe not better but certainly no complaints vs the solid gold. The ss is good, just pretty stiff.

 

I think if you have a choice and there is a big price difference then maybe get the fusion, but I would be confident the pen will be a great writer out of the gate.

I have two of these and two regular still Delta Nibs. THere's a difference, probably in the tuning, but I don't know how to tell that. They are great.

 

In fact, I seem to be Delta collector. Until now, I have been accumulating one of everything but the overall style, and the size/proportions of Deltas, along with the nibs, appear to have got me!

I just tested about 8 Stainless nibs, and the Fusion outperformed them all.. hummm

I`ve replaced my Delta Fusion Stub now with a vintage Waterman semi-flex - now it`s a juicy writer and doesn`t dry out after a couple pages like the (pseudo-) Stub

I have a limited edition Delta Fusion 82 in Cinnamon with a stub nib. With the c/c it sometimes had a hard start issue but after converting it to an eye dropper it writes great and holds an impressive quantity of ink. I agree that the gold is hype but the nib writes very well. I also like the way the pen feels in my hand, not to mention that the pen is the same color as my Redbone Coonhound lol.
