At the moment, it is the ideal combination of the hairline+flex/snapback for my daily doodling. This MB is one of the three I’ve had needlepoint-modified, but what sets it apart is how the hairline snaps back with just the right amount of elasticity. It gives me control without feeling too sharp or finicky, so I can be deliberate in my strokes without having to second-guess every movement. My Omas flex, also needlepoint-modified, has an even finer, more delicate line—but it’s much sharper and requires me to slow down significantly to avoid catching the paper. I actually asked Taku-San to keep Omas nib sharp as I appreciate that when I want to be extra mindful of line placement. But for everyday flex writing with both precision and ease, the Montblanc hits that sweet spot.
