I have always used fine nibs but I like the character that you can get from stub or italic nib. I have a cheap Pilot 78G and wnat the character without a flood of ink and your review suggests that this pen is spot on - many thanks for the review.

Always nice to see a fellow fountain pen enthusiast get something new. Of course it also conjures up some jealousy. ;) Leonard, congrats on getting the pen!

How long did you ahve to wait for yours? Could you post a video of a writing sample with the Carene? The one above is great!
