Manuscript Dip Pen & Nibs Set, Round Hand

Great products

My experience using this pen is 100% positive. The design is exactly like the Mitchell Roundhand pen which is one of my favorite dip pens. The quality is excellent. It is easy to clean. I believe this pen is absolutely suitable for a professional calligrapher - I am one. BTW: my book, Calligraphy For Dummies, explains fully the use and care of this pen.

This is a good beginner set for calligraphy. The only problem I had with it is that the holder doesn't work very well, I prefer the speedball calligraphy pen better, it holds the nibs in place, this one is a bit wobbly.

Nice and good product. Just one of the tips was not smooth, it was like bended and not soft at touch (I still have to use it to evaluate if it works or not, because it does not matter if it is smooth or not if it write ok). The wood stick to place the tips must be reviewed to improve the way to hold them, it is not easy to place the tips on it.The three stars are given not by the product but by the deliver and packaging. All the tips were groupped altogether and one trapped in the little space that devide each little boxes that supposed to contain each tip.

I returned mine, it was missing several nibs as a new product. The rest of the set was nice, and I was looking forward to playing with it, but instead I returned and went to ebay to get something else faster.

These are great nibs and a nib holder, but I purchased these believing them to be round tipped nibs, they are not, they are just standard nibs. I was not looking for this because I already have 2 pilot parallel pens that I prefer, but it does provide me with a wider variety of nib sizes, and I can use the reservoir on my Zebra Comic G nibs to make them hold ink better. Also, if you like the Tachikawa nib holder, these nibs don't work with it, and the Zebra Comic G nibs do not fit in the nib holder.

My set was received open inside the box. The magnet attached itself to several of the loose nibs but there were some still loose. In the end only one was missing. I decided it wasn't worth the effort to return them. They really should bag this item or at least put some air pillows in with it. After starting on a disappointing note the set appears to be what I expected.

One of the nibs in this set is NOT what it's supposed to be (looks different than all the others, was not cut properly so the tines are uneven). All the other nibs perform perfectly.
