As with using any ruler or protractor, we recommend you use your own discretion when using with a fountain pen, particularly one with a gold nib. The friction of the nib rubbing against the metal could cause damage to the nib in a way that would void most pen manufacturer’s warranties. For this reason it’s our recommendation you don’t use this product with fountain pens.

Customer Reviews
I resisted this catalog-gorgeous ruler/protractor for a while, afraid it would be sadly flimsy in real life. Reader, it is not. This is a solid slab of brass. Actually heavier gauge that I'd hoped, and just as beautiful in real life. I do like the other reviewer's idea of a cork back, but a little bit of kneaded eraser does a decent job of helping it stick in place.
It makes marking angles i need so much easier. So many rulers i have do have angle markings on them but no grooves to actually mark my patterns. I can do this accurately with the grooves in this ruler. While i can surely do this with any ruler its easier and faster to just put that 45* angle on a straight line and gauge it with this simulation of 1/8 - just to get me started. The difference is at least a 1/16 to an 1/8. It makes a difference. I'm glad i found this.

It is beautiful and high watery feeling. The only issue I have is that mine seems to have a couple discoloration spots that I can't figure out how to clean off. A bit of a bummer, but still works well. If I figure out how to clean it it will be 5 stars.
Only thing it needs is a cork backing so it doesn't slide around so much in my notebook!
