2675. Four fountain pen nibs comparison: F, B, Fude, Bent

Having four different fountain pen nibs now, I want to do something fun: compare them!

With the help of a light table, I redrew a small drawing using each pen nib. All used the same ink: Platinum Carbon Black.

From left to right: Sailor Profit Fude nib, Kaweco Sport B nib, HongDian M2 Bent nib, TWSBI ECO-T F nib.

They are drawn chronologically too from left to right!

Quick summary of what I thought and felt:

  • Most favourite result: Kaweco Sport B nib
    (for this particular doodle, the B nib drawing has the best-looking lineart in my eyes)
  • Least favourite result: Sailor Profit Fude nib
    (super scratchy, extremely hard to control)
  • The smoothest pen: HongDian M2 Bent nib
    (mindblowingly smooth)
  • The pen with the best feeling when being held: either HongDian M2 or TWSBI ECO-T
    (TWSBI is a bit better in length for me, but HongDian's weight and metal feel is very very nice as well)
