    Default FPR took over my EMF mod and sells it now as Ultra Flex Nibs

    To my surprise I noticed today that FPR took over my EMF mod and sell EMF modified nibs now as “Ultra Flex” nibs.

    All of their flex nibs are now available also in the EMF modded version.

    I came up with the EMF mod in 2013 and posted my experiences on FPN, first starting with the Noodler’s flex nibs, a little bit later with the FPR flex nib.

    To be honest Iˋm a little bit disappointed that they did not even give proper credit to me when taking exactly over the EMF mod, just rename it and make a new business out of it.

    One vage sentence in their announcement blog:

    “This half-moon cutout from the shoulders of these nibs was inspired by various "ease my flex" experiments on www.FountainPenNetwork.com”

    is imo more than poor, I would have at least expected that they give proper credit to my idea.
