The feed is a 3d printed nylon in case anyone is interested. I am so happy that it keeps up so well. The nib is fantastic... I ended up sanding and polishing mine but the performance is outstanding.

Wow. Mega kudos to the fellow who crafted this nib. Not only do I find it attractive, not only did you demonstrate its smooth / wetness, but it really _(REALLY)_ makes your SBRE Brown Ink look marvelous. And, no, Stephen, i could not make anything like that either!!

My Sheaffer Imperial proclaims it's nib is Palladium Silver. I wonder how much of either precious metal was actually used.... 🤔

Yard-O-Led need to get in touch with this guy and pay him for his process/technique for making these nibs.

I long have wondered about silver for nibs, and still do. Your friend has done us all a favor in sending you this. What I wonder is about the durability of the nib, not in terms of wearing down leaving silver on the paper, but in terms of retaining its shape over long use. Will you after a while need to service your nib to bring the tines closer together? Would a fine nib exacerbate that problem? And, by the way, I wrote to Yard-O-Led before buying my Grand Victorian to ask about the plating of the gold nib. Their workshop manager Alex Roden very kindly replied that they've been plating with Rhodium for twenty years. I love that pen!

This is so cool!! The person who made it should be very proud!

Thanks for showing that silver surfer nib

The shading on the signature 🤤

Very cool! I was wondering about actual silver nibs, thanks for sharing!

Now that is a cool nib. i always wondered why there were not silver nibs.

Fascinating! Often wondered about silver nibs!

Danke

Eureka FP from South Korea used to make silver nibs some time ago, but he stopped and is not planning to make them any more :(

Interesting demonstration of a silver nib/ with what material for tipping? Makes me curious as to the potential use of other metals and alloys for FP nibs. Yes, gold, now silver, stainless steel, titanium and ?? Copper, brass, bronze, ...? Oh, and what about the corrosion issue, if any? Thanks for the demo.

So there is no technical reason you can't make a sterling silver Myu. Thanks for the show.

i have these kinda old pens and im trying to search some info about them or even find any mages of them existing one of them is micro ceamic pen has writen on it scorpion and has a cool lion like emblem and the other one has no brand indications exept iridium point m on the nib they both might be more then 25 years old both came in pairs with a ballpen

Is there any tipping on the nib?

I don’t know…the acidity of the ink will affect the silver
