Hi,

I've just found this web site after looking for a more flexible nib for a Noodlers Ahab

http://www.fountainpenrevolution.com/nibs.html#35nibs

Has anyone tried them?

Seems like it could be a bit of fun making sections for them and you won't need the special taps for them. The ink reservoir will have to seal to the section well. EDIT: -or use eye dropper type-

I'm really tempted to buy some and experiment. There not to expensive to make mistakes with ie $13 (£9) for a flex nib and feed.


Cheers

Inky

I haven't bought their nibs, but I have had a couple of their pens.

I've dealt with FPR before in regards to pens, no issues there. The 'flexy' (really they're springy to semi-flex compared to proper vintage 14k wet noodles/full flex nibs) steel nibs are quite pleasent to use. The 1mm stub I have is pretty meh, a Lamy 1.1 is better as an example and the Bock/Jowo 1.1mm stubs used on TWSBI's etc are even better. I believe the nibs for FPR are maybe by Ambitious Nibs, I'm currently waiting on a group buy that appeared on FPN recently (http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/305932-group-buy-ambitious-nibs-round-2-year-2016/).

Hi,

Thank for the comments.

I've taken the plunge a bought a #5.5 and #6 flex nibs with feeder.

I'll report back when I get them and what they're like and how long it takes to get here. They say two weeks.


Cheers

Well, they've arrived. That's about 10-days including weekends.

They look good and the number 6 looks about the same as the Ahab.

I've a few pens to finish before I start on them though and I need to buy some more blanks.

Cheers
