Why write with an oblique nib - pentuner.com

[@peteradrian9466]

Thank you for the excellent breakdown. I'm a southpaw with erratic penmanship, but I love writing with fountain pens. I'm starting to think that I might want to try an oblique nib, but angled the other way.

You said it. Your handwriting skills. More practice would help. As a lefty, I print. I see few videos for use lefties. I love my Arcitect nibs and some stubs for variation in writing. But obliques, left or right, confuse me as to which would be best as a lefty.

You should continue making videos.

Nice! How is the sweet spot on those? Am i going to find it to scratchy? I was consodering a relief nib (left oblique) because i have a tendancy to want to twist the pen into the paper a bit.

[@BILLHENRY239]

I prefer stubs, obliques & italic nibs: which I attribute to learning to write cursive at a very young age (7).

[@hendrikvanger7730]

In my experience, oblique nibs make my handwriting better, because they force me to hold the pen always in the appropriate position, otherwise they get scratchy. Although for daily use, I prefer standard fine or medium nibs.

I've been trying to figure out the oblique nib issue and I realized that there is one thing that I may have misunderstood. What do you mean by rotating the pen? Does it mean turning it between your fingers, or rotating your hand?

[@joshuanorris5860]

It means turning it in your fingers. Twisting it into the page so your nib isnt perfectly upright anymore I have a tendancy to do this anyways. So i was considering a relief nib. (Same as left oblique)

[@theuntwit1551]

What’s the difference between a stub/italic and an oblique?

[@herrsteppenwolf]

Ha. Gets confusing right. Try a wet ink and a dry ink. All inks are wet. Or a wet nib and dry nib. What if you have a wet nib and a dry ink. My head's exploding here.

[@erick-gd7wo]

it seems you are more comftable with oblique nibs, that your writing has conformed to it. that pilot pen is unique though...

[@babarkhan5347]

what is the name or brand of this pen? and plz also tell me the price of the last red pen*

[@vidur.vachan]

Thanks

[@carispen4113]

Hi. Do you have your own nib services / customization?

[@babarkhan5347]

and from where i can get this pen??

[@ergia4822]

pilot decimo

[@Avocado818]

I have the same exact pilot pen and nib, how do I grind mine? Can I send it to you? Lol

[@Volkmannx]

Interesting

[@knifeloverdude1449]

what kind of ink is in your medium pen? its a beautiful blue

[@Pentuner]

It's probably either Franklin Christoph Blue 72, or more likely, Waterman Serenity Blue

[@joshuanorris5860]

They were all medium by the way lol

[@HJKelley47]

I write with a med. nib, and I do not have closed lettering. My letters are open and well formed. Because of that, what would be the benefit of an oblique nib for me??????

[@hatmool]

What’s the point of using nice pens and going into deep details if your handwriting is ugly!

[@rocky7891]

You need to improve your handwriting first!

[@romanfedrich6967]

Yup. It's the visual equivalent to fingernails being scraped on a blackboard.
