					<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: Urban sketching (usk) is what got me to try out fountain pens. This time, I&#8217;m usking in Tarragona, UNESCO World Heritage site with, among others, Roman vestiges. The result? See Figure 1. Kit: I used for this usking: (pen) a 1970s Geha 722, black pen and cap crown, nickel cap, piston filler, with a 14k yellow-gold sturdy nib (a &#8216;nail&#8217;), BB-tipped (see Figure 2); (ink) Noodler&#8217;s Golden Brown, a wet ink with strong shading and (perhaps later) excellent properties as watercolor; (paper) Traveler&#8217;s Notebook Sketch Paper No. 12. The process was relatively simple: I was able to draw this <span class="read-more" ><a href="https://fountainpens4drawing.nl/drawing/urban-sketching-in-tarragona-or-enters-geha-722/" class="btn btn-primary">Read More</a></span>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[TL;DR: Hedgehogs appear next to wet noodles &#8211; juicy, long, flexible creatures. So, when a late-1970s Pilot Custom Grandee shows up equipped with just this kind of nib, a music nib no less, the Hedgy is bound to show up. First up: Hedgy (see Figure 1). The Pilot Custom Grandee fountain pen equipped with a music nib (see Figures 2a and 2b). This is an outstanding pen, very comfortable, good ergonomics, even the neo-classic looks &#8211; black resin, GT &#8211; are interesting. In hand, the pen is lightweight when uncapped, but balances nicely when posted.

					<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 the 1970s, Sailor made its Mini line with 21k-gold nibs. Better, they equipped these pocket pens with various nibs, of which the Zoom is the nib that produces different strokes depending on the writing angle: Hold the pen higher, closer to the vertical, and it writer thinner; hold the pen closer to the ideal hold at 45- to 50-degrees, and it writes thicker. Here is such a Sailor Mini 21 with Zoom nib. Fluid experience (Figures 1 and 2): Working with a 1970s Sailor Mini 21 with Zoom nib is challenging but fun.
