What a beauty! How does she write in terms of smoothness/feedback and line width (i.e., is this a Japanese fine nib)?

Gorgeous pen, love the "long cap" look.

Thanks! It is definitely a Japanese fine, marked as such, and feels pretty standard and comparable to a modern Platinum fine gold nib both in terms of feel (feedback without being scratchy) and line width. I love the wood and everything else about this pen but it is just a little thin for my tastes that have been moving more towards larger / fatter pens.
