  • I wanted to make a quick video of our Monoc fountain pen nib writing a different angles and showing the different line variations of our different nib shapes (front and reverse!) . Sorry that my handwriting is terrible. I will reshoot this video at some point in time with someone who has great handwriting! For now… enjoy. -Ian

    Awesome video!! Can’t wait to try the cursive monoc. See you at an upcoming pen show.

    I got my Monoc nib from you at the CA pen show last year. It's been inked continuously since then, and I've been really enjoying it. I'm looking forward to trying out the cursive Monoc nib at the show next weekend! Thinking I may be having to add a new pen to the collection, lol. Out of curiosity, will you also be bringing rollerballs for people to try?

    Thank you for the up-close demo of all three, w/different angles and reverse. Very instructive. Would like to see all three in my mailbox, haha. Maybe one, someday. :)

    Thanks so much - this is the first video about the monoc that was really informative. It is quite the performer.

    I finally have the cursive on the way! And I'll have all three nibs in my collection!! (and more because I'm a sucker for all the colours you do on these 😁)
    This was a great demo on the various ways these nibs can be used.. I can't wait to try the cursive. I can actually see myself getting another one down the line as cursive is one of my favourite nib
    Seems like I can get an architect with the angle plays as well. I will definitely have a time dedicated to all the monocs when I get back home 🎉

    That cursive italic looks like a perfect nib for grading! Broad reverse to underline things, with a finer normal to write comments =) Now just to justify it to myself as a necessity for my job...

    Hi there , great nib grinding, you managed to get some excellent line variation on the cursive italic, well done 👏.

      @Schon_DSGN you're welcome, and as an amateur nib grinder myself , I found it very interesting , I bought several cheap steel nibs and started experimenting to see if I could grind an oblique architect that would write as a cursive italic in reverse , it's a bit tongue in cheek but I call it the " golden spear " and I know it's not in the same league as your beautiful monoc nib, but it does have some similar qualities to your cursive italic with the line variation and excellent ink flow.
      Anyway, thanks again for your excellent content ❤️
