Nikko G Nib

This nib is a pleasure. It writes with no problem for all-round use.

This is hands down my all-time favorite nib. Great quality and super fast shipping! 10/10!

This nib is exceptionally smooth writing, and I don't have any problems with snagging on the upstrokes. It holds a lot of ink and the tip is very durable and remains in good shape longer than most other nibs--much longer than some. If you are new to modern calligraphy, the Nikko G is a great nib for beginners.

My nib order came quickly and was packaged well. Great service.

I always recommend this nib for those just starting. The Nikko G is sturdy and has a medium flex that is perfect for beginners.

The Nikko G is a very reliable nib. It is more durable than the more flexible nibs like the Gillott 303 or Leonard Principal nibs. I like the consistent results I get from it. It always behaves the same until it eventually wears out, like all pointed nibs, and I replace it with a new one.

Nikko G, Zebra G, and Tachikawa G are all fairly stiff nibs and are excellent for beginners, who often have a heavy hand. These G nibs hold up to pressure and have a smooth, non-catching upstroke. Those new to pointed-pen scripts can focus on letterforms. Extra fine hairlines and thick downstrokes can come later.

As a beginner I love how responsive this nib is!

I'm so glad I had listened to others stating that the Nikko G is great for beginners. I find it writes unbelievable thin lines and just enjoy practicing with it.

I like this nib because it is capable of creating extremely thin lines. Compared to the Zebra G it produces much thinner hairlines. Excellent for drawing fur and hair textures. For writing, I don't feel that the thinness of the Nikko G is necessary, the Zebra G will produce a more uniform line at it's thinnest. The Nikko G gets so thin that I can sketch very lightly before laying down my final lines, and if I do a water wash over the original sketch lines, they just dissolve completely (using water soluble ink). I ordered 3 different G nibs and the Nikko G was the only one that worked right away without needing broken in or cleaned.
