I'm using my Pelikan 215...which i ATTEMPTED to grind to an Itallic nib, following the instructions posted in one of these forums.... I dont know how Itallic I really got it, considering I don't know what a real Itallic is supposed to look like, but it sure writes smoother!!

Justin below is link to Speedball writing charts. I think chart 5 is a good example of italic writing. Notice the verying line widths as the pen nib is held at a 45 degree angle. If you got an italic nib you should see this when you write.

Thanks Jerry!
Looks like I have it right, albeit not too pronounced. I'm getting a slight, but noticeable variation in thickness. I just compared it to my MB (both are medium nibs) and you definitely notice the difference. I might try to grind it a bit more to see if I can get a little more variation in the line.

Gonna use the MB tomorrow with blue ink...
