The Brause Steno nib tends to go by many names, including the Brause 361 or the Blue Pumpkin. Some calligraphers find this nib to be a higher quality duplicate of the Hiro 40 nib, which is very similar in appearance and performance. The Steno is less flexible than the Hiro 40, but holds more ink and achieves thinner hairlines. This nib has a unique shape and color as well as a moderate flex, achieving beautiful swells with a little pressure.
This nib produces decent hairlines and can be used for Copperplate, but it is better suited for modern calligraphy styles. Calligraphers of all skill levels will love this nib, and it is more beginner-friendly than the Hiro 40. Durable and long-lasting. Performs better with viscous inks like acrylic and sumi.
Measurements: 40mm long x 8mm at widest / 5.5mm at narrowest

Brause #361 Iserlohn 'Steno' - "Blue Pumpkin"
NOTE : I'm new to all this, just learning, researching, and trying to experiment with all this as I can! Brause #361 Iserlohn 'Steno' - "Blue Pumpkin" I've heard a lot about these 'blue pumpkins' in a lot of the research I've come across, and learned there are 2 that look almost identical sharing that name. This one, a slightly duller blue and no 'collar' was a bit of a let down for me. It has moderate flex, medium stiff compared to others, and holds surprisingly little ink despite being cleaned multiple times and with such reservoir grooves. It's not horrible, but the small collection I've already built up has several that out perform this Steno. Overall : mostly underwhelming but still usable. Backup bin. 3 STARS

Outstanding nib!!!
This is a very popular nib and deservedly so!!! It has a medium flex and is a great choice for beginners. It holds a lot of ink so you won't constantly be redipping. Buy it, you'll like it!!!
