Write a reviewI like it
Mar 17, 2012 | By Marty
I'm new to writing with pointed nibs and still working through some beginner problems, but I have found this nib to be one of the favorites out of my small collection. This is my "learning" pen and it's taught me a lot so far.
Great service

I will comment about the actual nib when I get it but let me tell you that the people who work here are awesome. If you guys are reading this, thanks haha xD
Hunt 10, Brause 66ef, Nikko G
Oct 10, 2021 | By Martha
I love the Hunt 101 and the Brause 66EF. They are more flexible than the Nikko G ... which was too stiff for me. If you are used to the amount of pressure needed for the Nikko G, Zebra G, or Tachikawa G nibs, you will need to lighten your touch ... a lot... with the Hunt 101.
Super lush thicks and delicate thins
Nov 3, 2021 | By Erica
The Hunt 101 nib is fun waiting to happen! Super-lush thicks and delicate thins can be had by the controlled hand. It is a bit scratchy, but it is a good nib for you to learn control, cut loose, and flourish away. Just be gentle, and as you learn to use it be prepared for the occasional splat.
Love it

I love the Hunt 101. I get the best results with it when I use Coliro paints.
my first nib
Nov 14, 2021 | By E. J. O'keefe
The Hunt 101 was my first nib for pointed pen calligraphy--it was one of the few nibs at my local art supply store. I'm happy now that it was my first nib instead of Nikko G or Zebra G--because I learned pressure control early on--though I recall it was a slow process. The G nibs were not available then.
Arrived so quick
Nov 24, 2021 | By Nancy McNeil
I ordered 5 different nibs and the package was shipped the same day!
Easy to deal with

Unlike so many other places, when you call John Neal during business hours a person answers the phone--right away!
Favorite Nibs
Jan 27, 2022 | By BJ

Best ever!

Always my go-to nib. Love the contrast between hairlines and swells, holds a decent amount of ink, suitable for a wide range of x-heights (for very small 3mm I prefer the Gillott 303), perfect flex, doesn't catch on most paper, can be used with slightly textured paper.
