    I am more of a CI fan than stubbish, however still enjoy a stub in the right circumstances. The Nemosine 0.6 is a great nib and installed one in a Neponset that really writes great! Big 'ol honking pen that writes smooth and on the wet side. I took a Lamy broad stub or italic and reground it to more of a fat medium, thinned it down to more of a regular italic that I am pretty happy with as well. I still like my gold nibs better, however you play around with the steel nibs as they are mostly inexpensive. Seating the feed (ebonite is better) to the nib does wonders as well. I have had great success with the Noodler's standard nib on the Ahab's and Konrad's making them to my preference and they are inexpensive.
