Zebra Comic Pen Nib, Mapping Pen (Maru Pen) , Pack of 10 (PM-1C-A-K)

A great nib. Good construction with a non-scratchy point. Good ink flow.

I bought these because I read reviews about them being better than the Speedball/Hunt 102 nibs. In my opinion, they are profoundly superior in every way. They carry more ink allowing one to draw longer between dips in the ink pot, they are dramatically smoother when drawing or writing, and they are stiff enough that splattering is minimized. I had given up on dip pens, having invested in a few Rotring tech pens instead. The Hunt 102 pens I had used for years seem to be of questionable quality these days, and I am being kind. But I missed drawing with a dip pen, and the line variations possible with a good quality tool. The Zebra nibs (G nibs and maru) are all the reviews seem to say they are. I never plan on buying a 102 again, nor any Speedball/Hunt pen-and-ink product, for that matter. Those materials, frankly, seem like student grade compared to the Zebra G nibs , maru nibs, and Dr. Martin's India Ink. This may sound like an advertisement, but quality materials are essential to my work, and money spent on bad supplies is so very wasteful. Hope this is helpful.

Should be great with holder. Also, for some of the "feathers" I have to make "feather" pens; like used in olden times. Size is perfect for these. Very functional. Also, hopefully durable for use for many years. Easy to use with paper, as long as not too thin. Just a dip in an ink bottle, the the ink should flow nicely. With a holder with a fine grip; I'll go old school writing.

Fine little nibs. Flawless strokes. Excellent value. You can't go wrong for the money. Will buy again.

Very thin point for fine lines. This is great for pen work in China painting.

Excellent nib, it's a great buy and can handle my heavy handedness.

Fantastic nibs! I am using these for my high school students. They work really well for them. I’ve tried them out myself and love them. They create very nice fine lines.

Does not fit my pen (Jinhao x750) which was said to work with manga style pen nibs, BUT it's probably my fault for not researching better. Just putting this out there so someone else won't make the same mistake. G pen nibs are said to work, I'll try them on my pen when they come. I guess they're a different size at the BASE, too, rather than just the tip as I'd thought. Will try to get something that fits it to try them. I WILL UPDATE THIS REVIEW WITH MORE INFO ONCE I GET TO USE THESE BETTER, but I thought it good to mention that they don't work with that particular pen which I see recommended a lot. I'll buy a new pen tonight and update this review with more info on the nibs. They so far appear to be VERY good quality, made from high quality metal. The packaging for the nibs THEMSELVES was good, although the way in which they were shipped was.... Interesting. But that isn't the product's fault.
