Description: NOODLERS COPERNICAN PEARL AHAB PISTON FILL FLEX NIB FOUNTAIN PEN WE SHIP WORLDWIDE!!!! Noodler’s loves the New England whaling history theme when naming new products. Their new Ahab Flex Nib Fountain Pen is a prime example -- named for the Pequod captain from Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick. The Ahab pen is 5½” long with the cap closed. The metal clip and cap band are a bright chrome-like finish – the unique clip design resembles the view of a Right Whale or Sperm Whale from the ocean’s surface. Both band and clip sport the “Noodler’s Ink” identity. The body and cap are made of a [technically] biodegradable celluloid derivative designed for a lifetime of use. The large stainless steel nib is a Flex nib, and has a “Noodler’s Ink Co.” marking. The pen fills a large ink chamber with a plunger action allowing the use of any of Noodler’s many inks. The ebonite feed can be removed for cleaning – and can be easily modified for artistic uses. The New Noodler’s Flex Nib The nib feeds more ink as it is flexed - the "auto-vent flex" opens the air passage to the feed far more than a conventional nib is capable of. A light touch at 45 degrees can produce a hairline to 1.5 mm (0.0906 inches, or a little under 3/32”). The speed of writing with a fully flexible nib should be adjusted to suit the flow of each ink type used (some inks will flow faster than others). Slower writing may be necessary if one is writing Victorian style script vs. fine shorthand - which can be written more rapidly. The pen comes with an imprinted Noodler’s card-stock box and detailed instruction sheet. Don't forget to visit the ink and refill section of our store to get ink cartridges and bottled ink to go with your new fountain pen. I will be happy to combine shipping.
