Enthusiasts and collectors will be able to enjoy this NEW 18k gold nib on the iconic Montblanc Meisterstuck 149 Curved Nib. Montblanc states that depending on the angle of the curved nib on paper, the calligrapher can achieve wide horizontal lines, thin vertical lines and even fine lines (for detailed drawings) by turning the nib upside down. If the Calligraphy nib allowed a wide range of strokes, from thin to very broad, the Curved nib, ground at a 45 degree angle, is no exception. Ideal for intricate Chinese, Japanese and Korean calligraphy, this nib is also an excellent companion for sketching and drawing providing some line variations that many calligraphy artists are looking for. After all, it is the variety of lines that enhances the beauty of handwriting.
