Brause Steno Pen Nib 3/box

Great nibs for dip pen writing

Work great for my art projects I do. Good value for the money also.

As an avid writer and writer using a nib, these are the very best I've used. I have bought different brands but these have surpassed all the others. They hold in to the ink and are not scratchy. The only nibs I'll use.

I purchased these nibs as an alternative to my Hunt 101 nibs, which use up a lot of ink and achieve thick downstrokes and very thin hairlines. These nibs are a gorgeous blue that fades over time wherever ink has touched it (yes, I clean my nibs immediately after use), use much less ink than the Hunt 101's, and achieve a similar look to the 101 nibs. However, the blue pumpkins are less flexible and achieve thinner downstrokes and thicker hairlines than the Hunt 101's. In regard to the arrival of the nibs, they came well packaged but one of the nib's flanges were overlapping and I easily fixed it by bending the tips of the nib. It took longer to remove the protective coating around these nibs compared to my Hunt 101's because I had to use the potatoe method twice. Overall, this is a great purchase and the nibs are much more begginer-friendly than the Hunt 101s. Nonetheless, the Hunt 101 nibs continue to be my favorite, but these are a great alternative for practice. Update: I have only used the first nib three times and it has rusted and become completely useless, so buyer beware. For my second nib, I removed the protective coating with acetone (nail polish remover) and a cotton swab, and immediately rinsed it with tap water. The color has come off after several uses, but the nib has not rusted. I still have not used my third nib.

They fit tightly into the holder. Work well.

These are very well made dip pen tips. I am not a professional artist. But I do appreciate the art. I highly recommend these.

If you’re new to calligraphy everyone says start with the Nikko G nib. I disagree. I believe you should start with these, Brause Steno 361. The ink flow is superb, they’re much easier to get used to applying variable pressure, and they don’t catch on paper with upstrokes like the Nikko G does. It’s by far my favorite nib. If you’re just getting started, do yourself a favor and buy these along with the Nikko G.

I wish they didn’t scratch/catch on the paper so much.

False Advertising .provided only one nib .

MUITO BOM.

Good quality! Highly recommended!

Me gustaron, las estoy usando para aprender caligrafía. No tengo punto de comparación con otras plumilla, pero son flexibles, fácil de usar y no ocupan mucha presión. Ajustan bien en el mango de Alt. Las he usado con las acuarelas líquidas de Indart, tinta para pluma fuente de Waterman y la tinta dorada de Winsor and Newton. El papel de la foto es de la libreta Celestial Dot Matrix, les recomiendo invertir en un buen papel.

The blue pumpkins are my go to nib for most of my uses.
