School Nib: Leonardt 63.5

The general purpose Leonardt 63.5 school nib has a nickel finish and is suitable for daily writing. This nib does not flex, but its small ball point will give you a nice thin line of writing on any medium, but works really well on rough paper. It has an excellent built-in ink reserve.

NOTE: New dip pen nibs come coated with a protective oil residue which should be removed. To remove the residue, gently scrub the nib with toothpaste, rubbing alcohol or warm water and dish soap.
