Nib SOFT FINE nib marked 14k SF is smooth with lovely tipping. Tuned for flex by John Mottishaw of nibs.com. These nibs are not super flexible when compared to a vintage fully flexible nib, but they are much more flexible than most modern nibs. They are very pleasant to write with and flex easily. See writing sample below.
