Osprey Pens introduces Bock-compatible special grind nibs: Broad Right Oblique and Broad Left Oblique
Oblique: An Oblique tip is where a conventional rounded tip (like in a Standard Size 6 Broad nib as an example) is ground flat at an angle of 15 degrees. If the angle is made from top right to lower left, the nib is a Left Oblique (think of the shape of your left foot and hence also called Left-foot Oblique), and if the angle goes from top left to lower right then it’s a Right Oblique (also referred to as a right-foot oblique) nib.
Left Obliques are most comfortable for right handers. Expect the line widths to be more subtle. The rotation of the pen in the fingertips is key. If you are right-handed, rotate the grip section (and thus the nib) towards your thumb. This position keeps the flat edge of the nib properly on the paper as you write. Similarly, if you are left-handed, rotate the grip section (and thus the nib) towards your pinky finger.
When using a right oblique, reverse the grip position by rotating to the right.
These Nib Units works with pre-filled ink cartridges or with bottled ink using a converter.
I replied to you with an email. I am very interested.
I am leftie and this nib makes easier to write with my fountain pen. It is very difficult to find them and I am very happy that I found it at a very good price.
The nib is stiff. I would like to see more flex, but I know that this is too much to ask
Dear Edgar, It is not too much to ask. We can try to custom grind an Ultraflex nib to make a R/O nib if you are interested. I will send you an email about this. Thanks!
