I love pretty much everything about this ink—the performance, the look, the story behind it, the price… 🙂

Okay, maybe not flexible, but certainly it is soft—soft enough to get some beautiful variation out of it. But heck, it’s not even an I-P-G nib. In my best Kahn Souphanousinphone voice, “I SEE NO ‘G’!”
It’s remarkably thinner than my other IPG nibs. There’s a lot of tipping material, which makes me think this one might actually be from Germany (I’ve seen real German “IPG” nibs with no “G” before).
The pen it’s on is an interesting Ohto Dude. Definitely a pleasurable writing experience! The ink is Noodler’s Walnut.

Okay, to be fair the 52½V on the left, the 55, and the 56 are all what we now call the “woodgrain” pattern, and the 12S is the early mottled pattern.
