All handmade…This pen is designed only to fit the Atome 423/1423 nibs…it is not suitable for other nibs. The Atome 423/1423 nibs are very small nibs, and are absolutely GREAT at inking very fine-line filigrees, vines, and other decorative elements. The problem with those nibs is that they are so tiny, they do not work in a standard pen holder. They are loose, they “wobble” as you try to write with them…so I devised a custom pen holder to hold them in a rock-solid way, making a very stable to use. These little holders are designed to be affordable “workhorse pens”, and as such, they do not have a lot of ornamentation or decorative elements. So although they aren’t “fancy”, they are extremely great tools, and will allow you to execute very fine-line details and ornamentation.
However, that is not all these little babies are “good for”…they excel at fineline writing styles such as Spencerian Script, Business Writing, and the Italian Hand. These nibs are only slightly flexible, so it is easy to maintain a consistent hairline with them…but they do have a bit of flex, so if you apply moderate pressure to the nib, you will get some noticeable line variation.
I have made this pen from a very light (in weight) wood, so it is extremely comfortable and “easy on the hands”.
This pen will ship with a brand new Atome 1423 nib installed.
