The Naginata's line variation comes entirely from nib angle, not tine flex. Developed by Sailor's nib grinder Nobuyoshi Nagahara to recreate the character of brush calligraphy, the nib is curved rather than sharply bent, giving smooth, controllable transitions across the full range of paper surfaces. Holding the pen close to vertical produces a fine line; lowering the angle broadens the stroke considerably; the nib can even be flipped and written with upside-down to produce the very finest line the pen is capable of. This makes the Naginata a genuinely different creative tool from a flex pen — closer in spirit to a brush than to a spring-tined nib.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sailor Pen Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53357467959624,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/inkwellartsupplies.com\/products\/sailor-naginata-fude-de-mannen","provider":"Inkwell Art Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
