Review Title: Macassar OB

I’ve been eyeing this Macassar for almost a year, and when I learned they were offering oblique nibs, I decided to take the plunge. Unfortunately, it seems they have already stopped producing obliques for it, but I managed to get mine in an OB. The writing experience is fantastic, even though the nib initially seemed a bit misaligned. However, that’s just the way it’s designed. The line is very broad, wet, and wonderfully wide—truly delightful. I’m certain their usual broad and medium nibs would provide a similarly satisfying experience.

Now, why are companies so reluctant to offer more diverse nib options?

Anyway, the pen is gorgeous and larger than I expected. Appelboom’s service was great as always, with lightning-fast shipping and excellent packaging.
