Nikko G Nibs

The Nikko G is a medium flex nib. Most beginners use too much pressure when first writing. These nibs have a lot of "give" to help ease into the process.

Another hurdle for beginners is using a nib that is just too stiff! That makes you have to work even harder to get results.

The Nikko G is crucial to learn how to make nice, thick down strokes and delicate thin strokes.

3 nibs per pack.

Pro

Tip!

Before using the new nibs, use dish soap and a toothbrush to scrub off the oil from the manufacturer. You can also spit-clean the nibs, too!
