My husband gave me one for Christmas and I adore the nib, but am hoping they will modify the feed some, so it will work better with special effects inks. You missed one of the best parts of it - it can used as an eye dropper!

I don’t think flex nibs work well with special effects ink.

Thank you for your thorough review. You did the best review for this pen that I have seen here on youtube. Subscribed !

Great video Aidan! Mag600 is a fun nib. I wonder how much joy is in your face when you write with this? Hopefully I’ll get to see you at SF. Take care!

4:38 - Just tried my first Akkerman ink - Hopjesbruin. New favorite ink brand now.

[@aidanbernal]

Awesome! That is a fantastic ink!!

Having tried a ton of flex pens, I will say that this pen feels like a sports car. It is so soft that it's easy to lose control ha ha. It's one of my favorite flex nibs, though. My top favorite is my EF stylosuite xwing harpoon! Thanks for the review!

[@aidanbernal]

A sports car is a perfect analogy for this one hahaha. Definitely rear wheel drive as well! 😂

Great review. I have one I got a year ago at the DC show - an early model Hiten was showing and it’s lovely ❤

Oooo and the Sea Mist version is making my heart sing.

Thank you for your review! Have you tried the offerings based on Kanwrites nibs like Fountain Pen Revolution 14k Ultraflex or The Good Blue's 14k flex? Those are the wettest and willingly flexiest modern nibs I've tried so far and it would be very interesting to hear how those compare to the Mag600.

In my experience, what Aidan said about the Crossflex at 2:58 also applies to those two nibs. Yes, those modern geometric flex nibs spread a lot, but they aren't as soft as the MAG 600's nib. It's immediately apparent when you use them side-by-side.
Personally, I would use the MAG 600 when I want to write an entire letter and the flexing would feel effortless, quick and naturally flowing the whole time, whereas I'd use the modified steel flex nibs to write a few words for calligraphic purposes, like on a card or invitation where you want the maximum effect but there isn't too much writing to be done.

I have, yes - and I mentioned this in another comment, but while the resulting line variation is the same, they do feel really quite different! Not that one or the other is better, but the Magna Carta is so much softer when you first start to apply pressure

[@ChanakyanStudent7971]

Oh my god this nib. Now we need to add just some embellishments on it and fit it on a body akin to a vintage Waterman desk pen. Then we would have reached modern pen perfection.

[@brightonbabe2139]

Hello, thank your for this. Have you tried the Blue Dew pens from Singapore. It would be great to get a comparison.

[@latui7350]

I definitely wish they could make this pen but without the super oversized nib and pen body.

[@laidman2007]

Any reason we can't see your hands?
