Leonardo Elastic Steel Flex Nib vs Montblanc Calligraphy and Others B
Channel: Inkquiring Minds
Date: 2022-08-14

This is my first try with the Leonardo Elastic steel flex nib and I wanted to compare it with the Montblanc 149 Calligraphy nib as well as some other flex option pens that I have. I also do a little bit of a rant about calligraphy and how the pen doesn't do the work for you!
