manoeuver

The nib on this serwex looked like it had a bite taken out of it at first- maybe it had been hit by a tiny asteroid, I dunno. I set to smoothing it and ended up with this: close to 1.5mm I'm guessing. the metal was pitted in a couple spots near the tip so I had to go pretty far down to get to metal I could smooth properly.
first photo is comparing the ground guy to an untouched version of the same nib.

It works very well in my hand and scratches when a righthanded person uses it. fine by me. Now here's a pen I can have fun writing with and not worry about destroying at work or losing. Boom!
