Still, I do like it!

Thanks again!
It puts down a very nice wet line for sure. Noticeably wetter than a typical medium I would say. The bookbinders by itself is a wet writer but highly saturated. My montegrappa emblema before heat setting caked the feed an seized up the whole operation. It's a finicky ink by itself. I had the same issues with the Visconti millionaire. A little Diamine made it a more rounded ink. After I burn through this fill, it's going quick, I'll add mostly Diamine and touch it up with some bookbinders. I'll be sure to report back.

I just sold my Emblema to a friend in Florida that like broad nibs. Mine had an unusual factory stub nib on it.

I wish my Emblema had a stub nib! The medium is a nice nib but a stub would be perfect! Your writing sample looks great. I still need to post a review of mine. Hopefully soon.

Used the recent Omas 360 I picked up late last year. This is an interesting pen to get used to. The large triangulated section sometimes doesn't work so well with my writing angle.
