Flex Nibs and Soft Nibs - a Super Scientific Study
Рет қаралды 102,163
Күн бұрынHow do you know if a modern fountain pen has a TRUE flex nib on it? Drew claims to have a foolproof (or foolish) system that can deduce exactly that. In this video, you'll see writing comparisons of 10 different pens with varying degrees of flexibility so that you can see for yourself just how flexy are these supposed "flex" fountain pens?

My takeaway, as I had already suspected, is that in order to get line variation from a modern "flex" nib, the thin line is just as important as the thick one. The Falcon EF shows that quite well as there is a lot of contrast between the line widths. Thanks Drew. I'll give that video 🦄🦄🚑🏀

In the days of dip pens, they used an even more confusing, and all-encompassing term, "Action." When even so-called "Inflexible" dip nibs still flex more than most modern "flexible" fountain pens, they needed to talk about something other than just "flexibility." "Action," as far as any coherent meaning can be derived from the uses of the term in relation to dip pens, indicated the overall writing experience, including what we would call spread and snap (how much pressure it took to spread the tines, and how quickly the tines come back together after spreading), smoothness (more important on a dip nib which is not tipped), and softness or bounce. A "stiff action" was a pen without much bounce or spread, or a pen that required more pressure to get a spread of the tines. A "superior action" generally meant a pen that was softer with decent spread and medium pressure to see spread. A "soft action" pen, was one that we might call today a wet noodle. It was a pen that took little pressure to get a good spread of the tines. These last pens are the most difficult to control, and were not very common. They were mainly geared towards penman and ornamental writers.

@@Gouletpens another good thing about the falcon nibs is they dry it very slowly, since the feed basically seals the entire nib; there is almost no exposure of the ink to the air. I have a Fine and Broad (both the metal variant), the Falcons have really grown on me and the Fine is actually my favourite writer now.

I left the flex bote early in my personal collection history… gold flex rated astronomically high 💸💸, particularly the vintage ones. I prefer the stub, three tines or Asian bent (fude) nibs for line variation in fountain pens. Also I would like to discuss more about the differences between gold and steel in modern soft nibs.

Like many, even most, of the pen reviewers, the speed at which you write is medium to high warp speed compared with my s-l-o-w, careful drawing of each letter. I have been using FP's for over 60 years, but I never (NEVER) mastered flex nibs. My favs have been italic or stub nibs. I like italic nibs as rigid as I can find, and they reward me with wonderful line variation. "Soft" nibs? I remain unsure how well I might do with them. But young folks like you do motivate me to go through another round of experimentation with the current production soft and flex nibs. I need to count the nickels and dimes in my pen war chest to see where I might begin.

My favourite modern flex nib is a Scribo EF flex which writes very wetly, flexes with very little pressure and is simply a joy to write with. I think we can all agree that it would be totally wrong to give it any score lower than a whole piano and a full moon. Another good one is the Santini stub flexy, which I'd rate at a reindeer, two chocolate eggs and half a cup of tea. It's too broad for everyday writing (at least for me), but so much fun to play around with.

What a wonderful demonstration -- three Hallelujahs and an Amen! (I am a priest, after all.) Prof. D on Inquiring Minds would be gratified that you included the E95s, and, indeed, how could you not? I'll note that Chinese gold nibs are getting more and more interesting. Relative to what you carry, my Conklin Endura Abalone (M) after tuning writes with very satisfying line variation -- and that with a steel nib! I have the Conklin Herringbone with their pre-Jowo Omniflex. It took weeks of use to break in, but now delivers splendid line variation. I have as well (also from Goulet in 2020) a Jinhao 8802. I may go a few weeks at a time without inking it for work; but even so, it too is developing more and more line variation. I guess the takeaway from my musing is this: out of the box flex is great! But, so too is using a pen enough to let its character develop.
@patrickwhitehead7584 4 ай бұрын
I got a Ritma with the omniflex this week. It does put down a TON of ink, but it's a really great daily driver just the same. I'm a tiny bit disappointed at the lack of variation, but I really liek the pen, so I'm calling it a win.
