The nib itself is a little smaller than what I’m used to using on the Jinhao model pens, it appears to be a #5 in size.
Like with most of my Jinhao pens with the open nib, the nib itself is pretty smooth on the paper, but it’s a unique kind of smoothness. On some paper like Rhodia it can be a glassy-smooth, some people may be annoyed by it as it can feel like writing on top of a plastic sheet. I prefer my nib to have a tiny bit more feedback. I like to feel the paper, but not to be stopped/resisted by it. On every day notebook paper there’s a little more resistance, but it’s not scratchy. The flow is pretty wet.
The flow is plenty wet but not to the point of just bleeding all over the paper, so it’s well controlled. When left sitting overnight the pen starts right up on paper the next afternoon.
Expected 400/ Shipped
