Writing Characteristics Of 3776 Fine Nib?

[Pennenut]

I'm interested in purchasing a Platinum 3776 pen with a fine nib but before doing so I want to ask about the writing characteristics of the nib. How fine is the nib compared to a Pelikan fine? Is the nib a scratchy writer? Is the nib tuned to be a wet or dry writer? Can anyone post a writing sample? Thank you for your input!

My Platinum fine nibs (3776 Century and Nakaya Portable Writer) are both one size smaller in line width than my Pelikan fine nibs (M200 and M400) and from my limited experience the Platinum nibs have more feedback than the Pelikan nibs which tend to be more wet and as such feel a bit smoother.

 

Note - you can smooth most any nib to make it smoother.

i find my soft fine nib on my platinum two sizes thinner than my pelikan's fine nib. And it has too much feedback for my taste.

Friedrich....Was that a 400/600/800 nib that was two sizes larger or a 200's?

There is at least a 1/2 size difference between a 200 and a 400....Besides the 200 is tipped more traditional, and not blobby (double Kugal) like a 400.

Platinum 3776 is too much feedback. The Preppy, however, is alot smoother. Nib grind is different than 3776.

I was referring to my Pelikan Souveran M400 (2016). And yes you are right. M200's nibs are narrower than the Souveran series nibs

My 3776 Fine nib is so smooth. Its much different than a M200 F nib. Quite a bit more fine as well. its not scratchy at all. I would compare it to a TWSBI Fine nib.
