Beautiful handwriting! Did you happen to pick up that style from Ames'...? If not, amazingly coincidental! I'm trying to learn from his book, and I'm using your same pen--but in black :).
Lovely handwriting and great pen! I'm broad stub-italic guy, but I do admire nice flex and semiflex nibs like your great falcon nib! I want to purchase a flex nib, but on a modern pen. What pen do you suggest? One Pilot-Namiki pen with a falcon nib or are there more flexible nibs than falcon available today?
I love your skilled writing! I can barely write compared to you.
I have a tremor and found when I met John Mottishaw and bought a couple of pens, dbb and Italic, I went to get a pen like yours with a fine nib to try and do spenserian style writing, but found it impossible for me. Where the very fine likes are made on this fine nib from Namiki/Pilot (very confusing!), I just did not have the finesse to write with it.
Please make other videos, you write so beautifully!
Thanks for the reply I am looking at the model below yours. It costs around USD $160. It would be nice to know the difference between the model you have. May it that your nib is more flexible perhaps? I do know with the Pilot Falcon fountain pen I want to purchase has the soft "fine" nib. I want to use it specifically for drawing cartoons. By the way do you think your pen would be suited for cartoon drawing with regards to very fine lines to broad lines made by your nib?
@dinasaur2 That is probably the resin body Falcon. It's the same nib but the pen is branded Namiki. The metal body I have is branded Pilot. I've had the resin body one for over 10 years and love it!I wish I could draw or sketch!
@dinasaur2 It's the nib that counts not the body. Also ink and paper matters too, you'd have to try different combos. I'm not familiar with drawing so I'm not really qualified to answer your question. I would think there are some technical pens for drawing fine lines but you won't get the variations like with a flexible nib. Best of luck!
Thanks for the reply-info. Your right about finding the appropriate ink etc. I have many fountain pen's but they are not as expensive as the namiki falcon pen. But I have been using "noodlers" eel, Bullet proof black ink. And it works just fine and it is light fast and good flow action while keeping the fountain in good nick. Thanks again! start drawing with your pen!
what came first the name or the nib?

Yes correct! it is branded 'Namiki', would the resin body pen be suited for drawing? Very fine lines etc?

Is this a fine point nib or medium? What is the cost for this model?
dinasaur2 1 year ago
@dinasaur2 It's a fine nib. I think it retails for around $300. It was given to me though. Thanks for asking!
