I have the exact same Pilot Metropolitan shown here. It’s a beautiful colour and writes Lovely! 👌🏼

Please have a comprehensive comparison between all stub and italic nib sizes available.I'm not able to test myself where i live so me and a lot of people would appreciate writing samples of all stub and italic nib sizes set to each other using the same ink.

Can you please suggest some ink for stub nibs ?

@Anton_the_Vampire 3 года назад

Do you have any advice for a left-hander using a stub nib? The 45° will be the reverse of the right-handed angle won't it?

@andyyoung814 3 года назад

Hi Tom, what is best a Sailor Pro Gear slim or a Leonardo Momentero Zero for Stub/Music nibs? Thanks

@peterhofmann8292 5 лет назад

Tom, very helpful video. One question, do you find that one has to hold the pen with a stub nib at a higher angle? Or will it behave just as well at a 45 degree angle? TIA

@GoldspotPens 5 лет назад

The angle isn't sensitive and can be written with the same angle as a standard fountain pen round nib. As the video illustrates, the writer has to be careful not to roll the pen laterally as they're writing.

@LuvsSno 3 года назад

In the $100 or less price range. And wanting a calligraphy nib that will write on approximately College rule width lines, (for writing letters to friends) which fountain pen would you recommend that would give a noticeable thin upstroke and thick enough downstroke for variation? I have a pilot Metro with a CM nib but that's not getting me the line variation for calligraphy, it's too wide..( or maybe the ink is too wet). thanks.. PS. I have the smallest parallel pen and that nib is way too wide.. You mentioned one that was under a 1.0 but forgot which pen it was? 0.6 nib .

@neilpiper9889 4 года назад

Cheapest way in is with a Pilot Pluminix with the B stub nib. Swap it on to a Pilot 78g. This is what I did and its great. The Pilot 78g+ is now available with a B stub nib fitted.

@liselottefrejdig1112 2 года назад

How about the TWSBI 580 with the 1.5 mm nib?

@MustyRahmanov 4 года назад

Im thinking of getting a metropolitan as my first fountain pen but don't know which nib. Which nib is the best for getting better hand writing since i wanna learn arabic but my handwriting is awful.

@MarysInks 4 года назад

Could you explain more about the angle of the nib? You mention 0, 45, and 90 degrees, but the hand position of the person in the video look the same to me.

@ullazitabinder2091 4 года назад

I honestly thought, you'd damage the nib with reverse writing?

Hey Tom, please let me know which pen you are using at 4:38 timeline in this video.

Hey Tom. I was thinking of purchasing the Retro 51 Tornado 1.1 Stub Nib in Lincoln Copper. Besides this being a gorgeous pen, do you think it’s a good pen for beginner stub nib writers?

@GoldspotPens 4 года назад

Absolutely. Retro makes a great, affordable fountain pen that will last you well beyond the beginning of your writing journey. The 1.1mm stub is reliable and provides nice line variation for everyday handwriting.

@randygran6089 Год назад

Hello! I find your videos very educational. If you may help me with one question regarding stub nibs. I just bought a 1.5 nib from Lamy. And I was so excited to try it. However, when I started writing, the ink is not a solid line. I try as much to lay the nib totally flat on paper surface still did not work. Cleaned it. Still did not work. I noticed tho, when I press down hard (harder than normal writing with ball point), it writes as it should. Is this normal? Is harder pressure normal while using calligraphy nibs? Thank you for your time! Have a nice day!

@GoldspotPens Год назад

It sounds like the nib needs a little more flow to lay down such a thick line of ink. That usually can be adjusted by opening the slit between the tines slightly bigger so that ink can flow at a higher rate.

@richardalam4758 4 года назад

I wonder about italic pen that you compare on the video to a stub. What is it ?

@GoldspotPens 4 года назад

An italic nib is a sharper version of a stub. It won't have polished or rounded corners, which will produce a more distinct thick vs. thin line variation but it will have more feedback (scratchier) than a stub.

@Abderian 5 лет назад

The Opus 88 shown in the video is housing a Pilot Parallel nib, which I believe is a size #6. As far as I've seen, the Opus 88 pens that take a #6 are all $120 or $123, not sub-$100. I would be delighted to be wrong about this, so someone please correct me if I'm mistaken.

@GoldspotPens 5 лет назад

We have the Opus 88 Demo you saw in this video on sale at 20% off for $95.95. You can find them here: goldspot.com/collections/opus-88?_=pf&pf_t_series=opus-88-demonstrator

@patriciamcgreivy3774 3 года назад

Any suggestion for a fine to medium stub nib for writing with a calligraphy look? Price 150.00 to 200.00.

@GoldspotPens 3 года назад

If you haven't tried it already, I suggest a pen that has a jowo 1.1mm stub nib on it. There are plenty of pen brands that use Jowo #6 size nibs and do offer a 1.1mm stub. One such example is the Edison Pen company. You can find them here - goldspot.com/collections/edison

@paul777jj Год назад

If you use a fountain pen for “reverse writing”, switch back to your high school pencil or don’t write at all as nothing worth writing will ever appear on that piece of paper.

Make video on Chinese fountain pen

@laplumafuente1 5 лет назад

If maybe a language misunderstood...but for you Stub and Italic nib point are the same? I think this is not correct..in fact you show several pen samplers that are ITALIC not Stub... aren´t you??? Regards.

@latetotheparty7551 5 лет назад

That's correct. He covers the difference between the two starting at 1:50 - 2:10. Edit: Added the end time point.

@GoldspotPens 5 лет назад

I see italic as a variation of the stub nib. They aren't the same, as the video illustrates.

@baybarsozturk8829 Год назад

An italic nib is NOT a stub niv.
