Modern Flex Nib Crafted By Pablo Carrasco


zaddick

Recommended Posts

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.

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

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.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
