I treasure my Franklin Christoph Prototype 02 (one of a kind color that I just love) that was ground to their Sig Nib by Jim himself shortly before he passed away... Every time I write with it I remember that we lost a treasure in the FP community....

I just got a pocket 66 with a fine sig nib and its probably the best steel nib i own. I know this video is couple years old so FC and Audrey may have improved some but even on my fine I get a pretty good amount of line variations.

Thanks for this. I was planning on an F-C with Masuyama nib, but couldn't decide well between medium or broad cursive italic. From your video I see that my hunch to go with medium was definitely correct. I'm still surprised that nothing really compares to masuyama-tuned broad or medium. I would expect it's relatively easy for Jowo or Bock to bring out a nib with this profile. Obviously they wouldn't be tuned to his level of quality and detail, but it's still strange nothing like that exists. We either have broad / medium or we have a 1.1mm stub in most pens.

It is a huge advantage for an educated man to have balanced and consistent handwriting. It affords not just him but his readers some maybe old fashioned but real joy. I think yours is better than Stephen Brown’s or Chris’ or any pen reviewer’s, except maybe a calligrapher lady (another Indian I think, which tells us something interesting about our education system here in india a generation ago, I guess). However, as a pen reviewer your good hand is actually a disadvantage for us poor knowledge-seekers. It remains spectacularly unaffected by any nib/ink/pen design that you use, and it leaves me impressed but not wiser. 🥺 However, I am not so coarse as to blame you, lol. I watch your videos to enjoy your hand basically. And having said that, I plan to see your next video after more daily practice on my own lamented hand 🤚. Thanks!

You really need to work on your audio quality and sound levels. Very difficult to hear. External microphones are cheap now. No excuse for not having one.
