Nikko Manga Pen Nib N-Gpen 3-Pics Set

I like these nibs! They're nice and sturdy so I can get clean lines while drawing. The fit is a bit tough for the holder I have, but that's okay. The feel of drawing with it is good though. The metal is thick enough to withstand me drawing with it. It's perfect for what I do and I think the price is fair.

I have tried many nibs and this one is the best by far. I paired it with the Tachikawa comic pen nib holder, Model 40 (T-40), so easy to assemble and use. Insert the nib into the holder and you are ready to go! I say this nib is perfect for everyone because I feel it could be used for anything and by anyone. Whether you are a beginner or have experience. Whether you are a writer or an artist. I journal, I love typography and I sketch, it's been perfect for all of it. In my experience, so far, the success of the nib can depend on the ink you use. I've noticed the viscosity of the ink can interrupt the flow, sometimes significantly. I've been using Noodler's inks, the flow in all of my pens have been perfect after a few trial and errors. There's no "railroading" and has a slight scratchiness to this nib but compared to others, this one writes like a dream. It holds ink really well, I can write almost an entire paragraph without giving it another dip. The flexibility of this nib is exactly what I needed. The line variation it gives has made this a perfect tool for my sketches, having less need to switch or alternate pen use. This nib has essentially improved my writing skills and made pen use so much more enjoyable. I have many fountain pens but this is the first dipping pen that put "joy" back into my writing again. The price for this set up is unbelievable and such a great find, you really can't go wrong giving this a try, which I highly recommend.

These are Manga type nibs that can be used for pen and ink drawing of any kind. Seem resilient thus far, easy to use for beginners and pro's alike and at a good price point. No complaints. Recommended. 5 stars

Just some background. When I was about 8 years old, all students had to take a dip pen class. I struggled, and my handwriting has been horrible ever since. I tried to revisit calligraphy many times over the decades but would give up.Three years ago I felt inspired again and bought this nib. Again, I gave up. Due to covid and having time to myself I figured let's try again. I can be determined! Well, I had good results with the Tombow brush pen. I tried writing with some cheap glitter pens, they worked well too. I'm feeling confident now, so I figured I'd try the dip pen. Results were somewhat disappointing. What I didn't like was there was no distinct thick/thin line.Well, I had a variety of inks in my stash, and I switched to a metallic pigmented acrylic ink from Speedball. It's old, and a little thick, but what a difference with the lines!The moral of my story is don't give up even after 40+ years...lol. This nib is good, and if you are having problems, it could be the ink!FYI if your ink is too thin, you can thicken it up with gum arabic. I haven't tried this yet, but the website I went too gave some very useful information on what to do, and how to make some custom dip pen inks.

I originally gave a one star review because as you can see from the photo, there was only two nibs instead of three. I tried both nibs and they both performed well. When I went to clean and put the nibs away, I noticed a third nib on my table. Apparently, when I inserted one of the nibs into the holder, it must of dislodged a nib sticking behind the other. I gave it 4 stars instead of five because it company might want to consider different packaging. Yes, I do recommend this product.

Very nice pieces.....

I have been purchasing nibs fairly blindly as I have tried many different drawing and writing calligraphy techniques. Even in the art supply stores that I have been to, nobody seems to know much about the quality, longevity or overall usability of nibs. I wanted to use them for writing and drawing old world looking lines, without sputtering the ink or catching on the paper or canvas. I have never been able to find any that actually just did the job well…Until these!!!! I am not kidding, I was going to stop trying with nib pens altogether. But I saw a video on YouTube talking about the best quality art supplies, and they listed this brand of nibs for quality calligraphy products. So, I thought, okay, ONE last time of trying. And boom! These actually worked so very well! I have been using them (well actually one, because I have not had to replace it for any other) for months now! I actually could not be happier with these! I am so thankful! Definitely buy these. If you do, you will be way ahead of the game and be using truly high quality nibs for a very reasonable price! I always feel like it is important to support companies that produce high quality products, because with supply and demand, they will keep producing them. … Good luck with your shopping, and truly, things can be hard in life. So, enjoy however you possibly can. Have fun and spread the love, everybody!! :-)

This is a good value for the money, and a useful resource.
