Anybody with outrageously thin nibs?
I have a Pilot Desk Pen with an EF nib that is crazy fine but also crazy smooth to write with... but it's at home.
I'll put up some pics later, but below is a writing sample next to a few Japanese and one western fine for comparison. It is basically a needlepoint...
