A nice italic nib, with the advantage of being completely modular with the Lamy Al-Star/Safari/Joy series. I like being able to trade between this and my workhorse F writing nib on the go - no mess, no worries. One thing to note is that this nib was quite dry for me. Maybe just due to the width?

Wow! I never thought calligraphy nib could be this fun! I put it on Lamy vista and it writes fantastically! I always thought I will not like think lined nibs but I am really enjoying it..thanks to this cheaper way to improve my handwriting. Highly recommended!!

I even use it on Moleskine, which I never thought could take anything other than extra fine nib! My secret is however Lamy blue ink, which never bleeds or feathers on moleskine pages even with this stub nib! I have tried so many inks with so many pens all bleed etc...this combination, however, works well.

*** My Fave!! ***
I was enjoying my Lamy Joy with it's 1.1 nib so much at my desk, but I wanted a shorter body style that would be easier to carry with me. The clear Lamy Vista is so cool looking and easier to carry, but I don't want a plain fountain pen nib. So I bought this 1.1 nib, plus a new Vista- Viola! My perfect, don't-go-anywhere-without-it pen! The nib that comes on your Lamy will slide off (with some firm persuasion), and this nib will slide right up in place. I bought a 1.9 as well, for lettering some large projects. The 1.1 makes your everyday handwriting look so great, and you can write fast with it. My favorite ink is Noodlers bulletproof Polar Blue. I was just at a meeting where we all submitted short written reports. The moderator actually held up my paper and said to the group 'Look at this great handwriting!' I should have said, 'It's not me- it's the pen!' How funny, because I had just created my perfect pen with this nib! :)

if you like broad nibs this one will fit perfectly, it gives to a daily writing a very good look

Not bad for everyday use.

Smooth writer, makes my cursive handwriting look better! :) Glad I bought this.

The line variation on the paper alone automatically replaces my F and EF nibs for my pen!

Wonderful! I didn't expect this to be so smooth right off the bat, but I was pleasantly surprised. Immediately lays down a consistent and slightly wet line of ink (as most Lamy nibs do) and adds interesting line variation to your writing and drawing. I think I may have to get the 1.5mm after trying this one!

Works very well on my Joy with J. Herbin Perle Noire ink. It's more challenging to use than a round nib, but the appearance is very cool. I want to try the 1.9mm now!

Seriously too bad that they don't have another size down from this. Still great to have one around, since Lamy nibs are so available & so easy to change to suit an ink or technique. I have an F, EF & 1.1, all for one Al-Star body.
