This collection brings together twelve vintage left-oblique writing and lettering nibs. “Left-oblique” describes the angle of the writing edge, rather than the hand used to write. These nibs can be used by left- or right-handed writers, depending on their pen hold, pen rotation and paper position. The two William Mitchell Italic models are specifically offered for left-handed calligraphy.
You will receive twelve unused nibs in perfect condition, one of each model:
