The New Noodler’s Flex Nib

The nib feeds more ink as it is flexed - the "auto-vent flex" opens the air passage to the feed far more than a conventional nib is capable of. A light touch at 45 degrees can produce a hairline to 1.5 mm (0.0906 inches, or a little under 3/32”). The speed of writing with a fully flexible nib should be adjusted to suit the flow of each ink type used (some inks will flow faster than others). Slower writing may be necessary if one is writing Victorian style script vs. fine shorthand - which can be written more rapidly.

Piston fill, 5¼” long with the cap closed, manufactured from a U.S. developed celluloid derivative, with a modern [type of] nylon sealed piston. The ink compartment is windowed, and the screw-off cap and section are banded. The metal clip and the nib proudly sport “NOODLERS INK”. Pen comes in its own individual Noodler’s box with a detailed instruction sheet.
