Nib Flexible Fine #9048 steel nib is smooth. It has good tipping material and a nice feed. . The 9000 series of nibs have iridium tipping. They were called the "Master Point" series of nibs. The 9048 nib is cataloged as Extra Flexible Fine for shaded writing. It's not what we'd call a wet noodle or fully fleixble, but it does create good line variation.
