Hiro/Leonardt Rond Nib

This is my favorite broad edge nib that just works and allows me to focus on my lettering shapes. Some others I have tried in comparison: Mitchell are fiddly, difficult to start and scratchy risking splattering droplets with the highly flexible nib. I found myself focusing more on the nib that the letters. Speedball C, Tape, Tachikawa are ok but tricky to clean with the attached reservoirs.

I press hard at times w/my use of the broad edge nib and found a Mitchell flexed too much at times. The description of this nib said it was firmer than other broad edged nibs & it was right! This nib is excellent for me, thanks JNB, your product descriptions really help!

As a left-hander who prefers square cut nibs over right or left oblique, these and Mitchell are the only square cut dip nibs Ive been able to find. While Mitchell makes a fine nib, I prefer these as they provide just the right amount of flex.
