Review: Great Nibs - This is just a gift from the past, and we really enjoy using it. In the same way that I tried it myself, and shared it with my Vietnamese father in law to try, we both agreed this was a marvelous example of all the writing tools we both learned to use in our childhood. He demonstrated better technique than I, as he had to use these much longer than I. It's funny to think that we are from an era where these nibs were normal, and now are obsolete. I'm very happy to say that anyone who still enjoys using these writing instruments from the distant past, would probably enjoy these nibs just as much as anyone. Just buy it, and enjoy. Some people say you should pay a lot more money for better, especially if you're an expert, or a professional calligrapher. In the mean time, unless you're a really fantastic calligrapher, I expect you'll do just fine with these. Just buy the ink, paper, and have fun with this.
Review: Would be a great gift! - Great quality! I still use this set years later. Would be a wonderful gift for anyone that is getting into calligraphy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Nibs
*by R***E on April 23, 2016*

This is just a gift from the past, and we really enjoy using it. In the same way that I tried it myself, and shared it with my Vietnamese father in law to try, we both agreed this was a marvelous example of all the writing tools we both learned to use in our childhood. He demonstrated better technique than I, as he had to use these much longer than I. It's funny to think that we are from an era where these nibs were normal, and now are obsolete. I'm very happy to say that anyone who still enjoys using these writing instruments from the distant past, would probably enjoy these nibs just as much as anyone. Just buy it, and enjoy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Would be a great gift!
*by S***E on April 27, 2025*

Great quality! I still use this set years later. Would be a wonderful gift for anyone that is getting into calligraphy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful for Calligraphy; Not ideal for Art
*by E***. on February 18, 2024*

While the pens and nibs work beautifully in terms of line variation and overall look/feel, they are ideal for calligraphy only. As someone searching for dip pens for artistic reasons I had hoped it would work for full on inking for drawings. My mistake!! It is my bad though and the product delivers in what it actually promises, so make sure you purchase the correct set for your purpose! 😂😂
