Platinum Izumo 18K Nib

[ats200]

Hi everyone!

 

I've been reading as much as I can about Platinum nibs and most members here seem to think they're stiff, or nails. I really like the look of many Platinum pens and am looking to purchase one but I came across their Bamboo Weaving models which seem to have a different style nib than the common President or #3776. I've included a photo below but the only pens I've seen this nib on are the Bamboo Weaving models. Just wondering if anyone has experience with this particular nib and how it might be different than the other (gold) Platinum nibs.

If you're looking for a Platinum nib with some give to it take a look at a 3776 with a Soft Fine nib.

The tipping looks to be far more stub-like than the standard President nib.

Now that you point it out I see it. Although it could be the angle of the photo. Otherwise, to my eyes, they look the same to me. I ended up contacting a retailer and asking and they told me the nib I posted is exclusive to the Bamboo Weaving model which is interesting to me.
