Had a bit of back and forth with the Aaron Pen company person about their nibs, and got a bunch of statements in response:
Quote:
This is NOT another G nib conversion. The nib is designed by our team (consulted by a professional calligrapher and a caliber nib technician), taking inspiration from the dip nibs that are mostly rusted in a short time (and many got issues with the ink flow). The nib is rust-resistant, made from Stainless Steel 316 (also known as surgical steel, marine-grade steel).

'We don't buy the nib from another brand and/or related to any other brands as of now. Hope it clarifies.
Quote:
The nib should last for years (depending on how you maintain & use it, of course).
The only easily observable difference in the nibs of the two companies appears to be the shape of the breather hole. Why do they both use the letter "B" on the nib? Both companies claim to be making their own nibs.
All a bit head-scratchy to me.
