Mitchell Roundhand Square Nib, Set of 10 with 2 Reservoirs
These straight-cut broad-edge calligraphy nibs from England are great for more than just Roundhand––try Mitchell nibs for Carolingian, Italic, Uncials, Gothic, Foundational Hand, and Roman Caps. The most flexible broad nib on the market compared to Brause, Speedball, Tape, or Tachikawa. Unique to other broad-edge nibs also due to their separate reservoirs, which can be found here.

Mitchell nibs
After taking a class, via Zoom, with Rick Paulus I fell in love with these nibs. I would only use Brause nibs before, but in the class Rick used the Mitchell nibs. The sizing was completely different than the Brause, so I used the Mitchell nibs. Was able to get a nice crisp fine line to a wonderful board stroke. I now have a new nib selection.

Sharp nib but faulty (?) reservoir
I use the nibs by themselves, they are nice and sharp, however, adding the reservoir introduces blobs of inks despite me scrubbing both nib and reservoir with toothpaste before use. Perhaps I just got the faulty ones?
