These nibs do indeed "hold" more ink than your average nib on the street. I can also tell you, that for the price, these nibs perform as well, and if not better, than some of the more expensive nibs I have used over the years. I was digging through my art stuff and found a box containing quite a number of these things I have collected throughout the years and to be quite frank, I had forgotten I had them. Anyway, I had already purchased this new set so out of curiosity I tried quite a number of them, i.e. the old versus the new. These new tips held up quite well in my unofficial and purely nonscientific test.

These nibs fit all my old pen holders but I do have two of the Speedball Sapphire models which are my favorite...one rather new and one rather old.

If these things are not abused and are kept clean as all pen nibs should be kept, there is no reason they will not last for years. The ink delivery is quite smooth and there is no "rough" feel about them.

All in all, I am quite satisfied with this product and am delighted with the price here on Amazon. To be honest, these cost me about four more bucks here at a local art supply house...teach me to do my research!

These will rust badly if you do not clean and dry them properly. I ruined mine. Don't ruin yours. :(

Best Deals for Speedball 10 Pen Nib Assorted Set

I have recently re-awakened a dormant hobby of drawing and calligraphy, deciding it was time for some new nibs. In the old days, I could walk into an art store and purchase (loose) a handful of nibs in various sizes. Today, I am forced to purchase a package that includes some I really don't want. Which is the case here. Overall, the package had what I needed and the price was certainly right.

Honest reviews on Speedball 10 Pen Nib Assorted Set

used for 4-8 hours a day for a month. The nibs were scratchy at first, which was to be expected, but softened up the first day. I may have abused them with heavy use, but my main one doesn't write as well and I need to order another.

I wanted to get into calligraphy so I got this set along with Learn Calligraphy by Margaret Shepherd and some blue Waterman ink. Being a novice, I can't go too in depth, but so far I really like this set. There's a great variety of nibs for different purposes. I found some of the nibs to be, I guess you could call it "scratchy". These would pick up fibers from the paper, making the writing a bit fuzzy as well as the page. Granted this is a two dollar grid notebook I got merely for practice. Nonetheless, these nibs serve their purpose and I'm happy with my purchase. Maybe further down the road I'll invest in some Brause, but for now these are great. I especially like the A5 nib, it's definitely one of the smoothest.
