Italic / Stub Nibs -- Favorites & Advice

[countrydirt]

I really like the TWSBI stubs. I just received a 1.1 Bock in a Ranga pen and I really enjoy it as well. The Bock is very smooth.

I have a couple of Esterbrooks that take the interchangeable Renew Point nibs, and yesterday I ordered a 2314-M, a "Relief Medium Stub" for one of them from Anderson Pens. It's a mild oblique stub. I'm looking forward to seeing how it performs. I'm going to put it in an SJ, and take the 9556 from it and put it in my hockey puck desk set for use at work, where hopefully the super-fine point will feather less on the cheap paper we have to use than the 9550 that's in there now does.

Q
I've used the 2314-M, the 2442 Falcon, the 9314-B and the 9284. The xx14 nibs are really obliques, which is fine. I liked the 2314-M and the 2442 much better than the other two, which felt too hard. The line variation with the 9284 isn't that great, at least not on mine.

Those vintage pens you find with stub nibs are great! I have an Eversharp Skyline with the original sticker on it. Marked as a medium but it is very stub like.

I am a fan of Pendleton's BLS italic/stub hybrid...............best of both worlds!
