do you think its bent?

 

The pen arrived yesterday. Here is my short review:

SIZE: You can see on pictures, this pen is not small, but its really beautiful :)

WEIGHT: Its really LIGHT.

NIB: Sometimes its smooth, sometimes not so smooth (not scratchy, maybe dry), sometimes it stops writing, (maybe because its new, and there is some oil or something inside?). Not as smooth as i expected from the reviews.

FLEX: It has as much flex as my old Centropen 5270 14k, mine Stipula usually does not skip or railroad when flexing.

 

I used it with Diamine Lavender and converter. Didnt try the eyedropper option.

I bought this model too a few months ago. (I made a review that you can find here https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php?/topic/212084-stipula-model-t-colourful-modern-flex/ to compare the "bent" nib.)

 

Actually you can flex it far more than you did, but it might need some tuning (see comments).

 

Otherwise, it's a very nice pen. I hope your converter will last longer than mine.

Very nice pen. My lone Modello T needed about three days of "seasoning" before it settled down and decided to behave. I did the usual soapy water flush I do with all new pens and loaded it up with Visconti blue. It did what yours is doing. After half a convertor of not always pleasant writing it has become a favorite among the modern pens I own. Give it a chance and use it a lot for a few days in spite of its little tantrums. I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the way it writes after a short break in period.

designerroots, I posted a response to the great review by olivier78860 above. I just got one of these pens about a month ago and have come to truly love its looks and performance.

      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
