Brause Steno Pen Nib 3/box

My old copperplate nibs were pretty messed up so it was time to upgrade....& boy howdy was it an upgrade!!!! The Brause Blue Pumpkins nibs are phenominal!!!! I'm loving life again 😄

They work well enough

As an avid writer and writer using a nib, these are the very best I've used. I have bought different brands but these have surpassed all the others. They hold in to the ink and are not scratchy. The only nibs I'll use.

Fun to write with! Don't hold a whole lot of ink, so you have to re dip pretty frequently. I don't know if it's more than most nibs, I'm not too experienced in writing with dip pens at this time, I'm a newbie.

It was like night vs. day after I soaked them in acetone. I tried soaking in alcohol and it did nothing. Washing with soap amd water did nothing. I thought about trying to return them! However, after I soaked the nibs in acetone they wrote how I was hoping they would. They are fairly smooth for a nib that doesn’t have a rounded ball at the tip. They definitely give your writing a special look to it. This could easily become the nib that I try to write with if I send handwritten correspondence so that my writing has some recognizable flair to it. It was the only nib I bought recently that created any line variation by applying more or less pressure. All my other bits seem to make a consistent line no matter what I do which is great for expected consistency but kind of boring. These “blue pumpkin” nibs I guess they call them are anything but boring. They make each and every line made on a paper look a little more eccentric than any other nib. This is a scribes nib. This is the kind of nib you make a choice about using because the way you write will say something about who you are. This nib may just get your writing noticed or blessed with compliments for your exquisite penmanship. (I won’t tell that it’s not you it’s the magic of the blue pumpkin!)

At first I thought I only got one of the three nibs—but they nest so smoothly into each other that I only noticed when I pulled them out of the packaging. I’ve only used one so far. It’s smooth writing. Load it up and it starts right out with smooth lines, no big blob at beginning of first stroke. I’ll use this primarily for drawing, and I think it will be very nice to use. With a dip pen you can change ink color quickly without having several pens at hand. I want to try watercolor in it, and white ink for whiskers!

These are absolutely wonderful nibs. I use them often in my artwork when using acrylic ink. The nib holds a good amount of ink and disperses it better than many nibs I have used. I usually order it from an art supply store but it was out of stock so ordered thru Amazon. My first order contained only two nibs instead of three. I returned and re-ordered with the same outcome. Hopefully Amazon gets this issue straightened out soon. I've read several other reviews with people having the same issue.

These work great for creating "sparkles" as recommended by Martin Lachmair and shown in his art.

False Advertising .provided only one nib .

MUITO BOM.

Good quality! Highly recommended!

Me gustaron, las estoy usando para aprender caligrafía. No tengo punto de comparación con otras plumilla, pero son flexibles, fácil de usar y no ocupan mucha presión. Ajustan bien en el mango de Alt. Las he usado con las acuarelas líquidas de Indart, tinta para pluma fuente de Waterman y la tinta dorada de Winsor and Newton. El papel de la foto es de la libreta Celestial Dot Matrix, les recomiendo invertir en un buen papel.

The blue pumpkins are my go to nib for most of my uses.
