For the lovers of green. like me.

Funny story with this one. I did a custom grind on this nib, with the plan to take it from a medium to fine-medium. Easy enough to do, and only takes a very short time. This one, however, just took *forever*. Couldn't figure out why it was taking so long to get the tip fine. Finally, got it down to a sweet, smooth fine-medium line with a nice fine vertical, and a broader horizontal. Went to rinse the nib out, and noticed the 'B' etched on the base of the nib. D'oh! Some days....

Nice pen.

LOL - aging eyes, more than anything. I didn't bother wearing my reading glasses. Which might have helped.
