    Default WTB EF or Ultra Fine nib

    Looking for a really small line width for very fine sketching. EF or possibly smaller - something to get down to like what a Sakura Micron .005 or .01 would produce.

    I have lots of pen choices, so a standard #5 or #6 should work, understanding of course that there isn't really much that's "standard" about a standard #5 or #6!

    Not sure on your budget or preferences, but I've found the Sailor 1911 Young (Somiko) with an EF nib to be exceptionally fine and very affordable. A greater writer.

    Let me try to dig up a writing sample of mine.

    As promised, a writing sample of my three finest nibs. I would said the Sailor is an order of magnitude finer than the Pelikan and the Cross...hmm I've forgotten how to upload...

    the Pilot EF nibs are very very fine. You can get one super-cheap on a Pilot Penmanship, jetpens sells them for about $10.
