					<description><![CDATA[TL;DR: Purchasing pens made for a different market can mean some changes are needed to make them fit. In the Japanese market, I often find F nibs thinned to EF and tuned to write glass-smoothly. But, sometimes, I find nibs further turned downward, closer to the Sailor Concord specialty nibs than to the narrow down-turn of the Pilot Falcon or Posting nibs. This rare example of a Montblanc 121 Burgundy with 18k nib, ground from F to EF, turned into a Concord shape, has had artisanal work in these two directions. What is a Concord nib?

					<description><![CDATA[TL;DR: Did you know Pallas&#8217; cat is the grumpiest in the world? It must be true, because that&#8217;s what David Attenborough said during his Frozen Planet II coverage of this grumpy cat (for the whole series, start here). Great subject for a PILOT Elite tryout! The main feature of this pen: its pizza-slice nib! I know there&#8217;s no such technical term, bit why not name this slightly hooded nib for what it looks like &#8211; it&#8217;s a pizzle slice for me, period. See Figures 2a through 2d. Putting it all together: After the drawing and writing sample depicted in Figure <span class="read-more" ><a href="https://fountainpens4drawing.nl/drawing/pallas-cat-the-grumpiest-in-the-world-or-pilot-elite-with-18k-f-nib-1974/" class="btn btn-primary">Read More</a></span>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[TL;DR: In this series of posts, I explore the nibs of the 1960s. First up: the nibs produced by Sailor, starting with their pocket pens. Previous in the series: Nibs of the 1960s: Sailor, part I. Nib types(*) present in this post: (*) All nib types are named. The nomenclature is not standard but proposed here. Type 4&#8242; (or 6, after the five types introduced in the previous part): The Sailor “kite” nib, in 14k (Figures 4&#8217;a and 4&#8217;b). Type 7: The Sailor &#8220;logo board&#8221; nib (Figures 7a and 7b).
