Why gold nibs?
Gold is used in nib manufacturing because, although expensive and easily abraded, it resists corrosion caused by ink, which is so acidic that is will literally begin to dissolve steel. For pen nibs, it is generally thought that an alloy of 14 karat fineness gives the best compromise between hardness, workability and corrosion resistance. Gold is also the key ingredient in making a nib more flexible.
How do Namiki nibs compare to those manufactured in Europe and the United States?
Namiki nibs are one half increment finer than those made in Europe and the United States. Mfg: Pilot. Mfg No: 60156PIL
