Thanks for this review. As a lefty I appreciate a left handed reviewers. I have other Monteverde flex nibbled pens and find for everyday writing (as in a journal) you need to be conciuos of putting pressure on the page to get the nib to flex which defeats the ease of writing as to flow of ink to paper. For that reason I continue to search for a softer flex nib. Besides, I doubt I'd spend that much of a pen with a nib such as this one where this cost is in the pen body not the nib. But that's me.
@@sunnycharacter no steel nib will have resistance and you can’t expect a lot of give. That’s why they cut those fins on the side to help but don’t expect it to triple or anything insize and only do it in downstrokes. No you get a gold nib you’ll see less resistance and you get titanium it’s like butter. You could break titanium cause it’s so flexible if you add much pressure.
That Abalone one is beautiful! And the Carbon is very masculine. I like how they offer both kinds.
That carbon fibre look 😍

@@herrsteppenwolf I’m testing more flex nibs now. Sub to follow cause I have at least 2 more coming :)
I’m new to flex and just got my first Omni flex. Seems a bit tight to me, am I babying it too much or do they loosen up after awhile?

@@WastedPaper oh thanks! That’s very helpful! I will practice. I’ll also look into some replace,ent nibs for other options.
@@sunnycharacter I find they don't relax after use. What you see is what you continue to see. But you may get lucky,
