Questions & Answers
Yes, each of the ten nibs is identical.
The inti rust paper is the paper that the nibs are placed on when they are purchased in the little box. They don't rust, though, unless you live in a particularly humid climate or expose the nibs to it frequently. Simply dry your nibs after each use to ensure that they do not rust.
They're genuine, and they're the best I've had in a long time.
This is the nib I teach beginners with, and it's one of the best practice nibs I've come across! It gives paper thin ascenders and beautifully full defenders a lot of control.

Other brands I've tried don't last as long as these. They possess all of the G-Series' outstanding value and performance. They last longer than other G-type pen nibs because they don't rust as easily. I've tried a few different types of pens. I ink for hours almost every day, and one of these lasts me about two weeks to a month. Doing the math, that means I'll need to buy two of these 10-packs in most cases. a year's worth of supplies Which is a fantastic bargain. br>br>I use them with Tachikawa nib holders, but they also work with my Speedball crow nib holder. That's strange, because everyone said they didn't belong there. These don't quite fit like the Zebra ones, but they do.
This is an outstanding G pen nib. I've been using them for about 16 years and have never been disappointed with the quality. For illustration purposes, they don't produce as fine a hair line as Tachikawa or Zebra, but they are softer than Tachikawa and a tad more controllable than Zebra. Nikko nibs (or Tachikawa or Zebra) are hard to go wrong with.
Copperplate calligraphy is what I use this nib for. This nib is fantastic. It glides over paper with ease. Some nibs don't work well on regular paper, but I've found that this one does! When I need to use rough paper, this is the nib I reach for. It produces nice hairline upstrokes as well as a solid heavy downstroke. Did I mention how nice it is to write with it? I'm going to buy more.
When I look at the points under a magnifier, I notice that not all of the tines are evenly split up the center - The split is just a stray hair to one side or the other. I'm not a skilled enough calligrapher to tell if this makes a difference in my lettering.
This is what I use for calligraphy with a dip pen. This is a sturdy nib with the perfect amount of flexibility for a beginner. There will be no issues.
These are known as the "classic" beginner nibs. When I first began learning Copperplate, I was unable to place orders. Instead, I used a Hunt-style strategy. Later, he became a Gillot, at the age of 22. I was looking forward to receiving these in the mail. I found them to be very stiff, and I had to apply a lot of pressure to get them to work, but I wasn't satisfied with the results. Even so, they're in excellent condition. made, and there are no flaws in the workmanship that I can see. I believe they are simply not my style.
I put off purchasing these for a long time and now regret it. I prefer Nikko G nibs, and I've tried a lot of them. Purchasing them in bulk allows you to save a lot of money. Calligraphy has never been easier thanks to the introduction of new nibs.
So far, these are my favorite nibs. I'm still learning the ropes of calligraphy, but these nibs are fantastic. Far superior to the speedball nibs with which I began.
