Works well, fit is questionable

Bought it for a Konrad acrylic and it was a tight fit and it hits inside the cap a little leaving ink inside. Gonna reseat and heat set it and see if that will get it a little deeper to correct that issue.
Otherwise it writes smooth.

Unexpected treat

Smooth, good line width, feed, and consistent wetness. Maybe I got lucky with this one, but it is a solid, very inexpensive steel nib.

Noodler's non-flex nib

This nib has been seriously good for the price paid. I am very new to fountain pens. I was given a Karas Ink V2 by a friend who did not want it and found myself tinkering with it. Upon further inspection and research, I found that the tines of the nib had been bent so I went to figure out where I could get a replacement. I honestly just wanted a working nib so that I could try out a fountain pen, so I bought the cheapest #6 nib I could find. This nib was more than a great replacement to a damaged nib. This nib has also introduced me to a new hobby. I have nothing to compare this nib against, but it seems to be a bit wetter than some others that I have observed online. I experience ink creeping to the top side of the nib, though I am unsure if this is due to the nib or the feed. I do sometimes have a random hard start here and there. I have read that heat setting is helpful for noodlers nibs, and I have not tried that, so maybe that would fix the problem. Overall, a great experience. As for Goulet Pen Co., the customer service is excellent. I loved the detail with which they handled the package. It was clear that a person who cares packed this package.

it writes a wet generous western medium line, but not too much that you can’t write smaller size words. smoothed with micro mesh (personal preference) and it is a blast to use with my Konrad

Noodler's Ahab/Konrad NonFlex #6 nibs

I am very pleased with these nibs even though only one is being used at this time. I find it consistent with a Fine nib and it lays down a medium wet line that works well with my inks. I ordered a second nib as I want to experiment with shaping the tip into an even finer line/ configuration and at this price it makes it an easy thing to do.
