    I really do not like that Plumix/Pluminix grip and I am using the nibs in different pens. I will likely try it in WS 698 someday.

    One can always beg to differ. In re: my post above, here is one example that she posted in her IG stream, I am sure there are many more from that time and I saw (live) her use a number of reground Japanese small nibs (she is now using other nibs, as well, I think Blue Dew nibs are common). But her hand and Mark Bacas work most definitely can show the strokes and, of course, the size of the lettering is correspondingly smaller.

    Would you mind providing the instagram name of the person who did this. I find it just wonderful and would love to look at more!

    Those are awesome. I've never been interested in stubs/italics till this thread (and the ones you referenced).

    Stubs, italics are an absolute joy to write with. Much more so than rounded nibs.
