I was thinking of sending my Pelikan 140 with an 14K F nib to Greg Minuskin to have a 1.1 mm cursive italic put on it. After thinking about it and using the pen for the past couple of days, I realized how really flexible this 14K nib is. It is a totally different nib experience that I have not had before. I understand the draw of older flexible gold nibs now. Now, I am thinking that doing the cursive italic thing would be counterproductive. I would lose the fine side of the nib width gamut. Is my reasoning sound?
