Modern Flex Nib Crafted By Pablo Carrasco

[zaddick]

I picked up a custom pen from a fellow member here on FPN and it included a modern take on flex. The nib was modified by Pablo Carrasco, the man behind Gimena pen in Spain. I am by no means an expert in flex, but it seems to be able to keep up with my 1950s 14C flexible nibs from Montblanc. While they are not wet noodles, you can see what they can do from the writing sample. I am having fun playing with the pen and wanted to share with you all. I also don't mind giving a shout out to a small shop that is doing some good work.

As far as I know, yes.

Looks very similar to the binderized flex 14k nibs.

Yes, that looks very much like a nib with some flex.

Beautiful pen. And the nib has fairly good amount of flex.

Hello Zaddick,

 

Amazing post but I want complete itwith a precision: the pen was entrusted to Pablo to thin the line but the semi flex is original of my bibs that are manufactured by Bock according to my specifications.
