Of all the broad dip nibs that I have tried these are the most flexible, and possibly the closest to a quill as far as manipulation. That given, unless you are very light handed you will want to give these a pass I am very light of hand, and these are my go to nibs. I am not a fan of the top feed, and prefer to dip more frequently. The feed would however make the nib stiffer.
