Namiki Falcon: Metal Body With Medium Nib

Here's my Namiki Falcon. It's got a soft medium nib and a metal body. The nib's been properly broken in, and feels worlds better than a new one straight out of the box. The ink is Noodler's Black Swan In English Roses. I think the rich burgundy really compliments the pen's color. There's a lot of contention among flex nib addicts as to whether or not this is a flex pen. Here's my take: I don't buy into the argument that this pen's nib is merely "soft"—to me a "soft" nib is my Parker Sonnet's 18k nib; it gives under pressure, but line variation is not at all remarkable—though it could never be classified as fully flexible. That leaves the in-between, which most people would call semi-flex. It's easier to flex Falcons than it is to flex the Noodler's line of flex pens (which I'm a huge fan of). But there's just no comparison when you use a Falcon back-to-back with a true flex pen such as the Waterman 52. Even though they both sport 14k nibs meant to yield to the user's script style, they just feel different. The Watermans flex much easier than the Falcons. So considering all of that, I'd classify this as such: One a scale of 0--10. with 0 being a completely rigid nib and 10 being a superflex "wet noodle", AND the category of semi-flex taking up numbers 4--6, I'd classify this as a semi-flex with a rating of 4. I look forward to getting a Mottishaw'd Falcon with his famous Spencerian Approximation modification. This was shot with an iPhone 5 using the CinePro software to control exposure, ISO, etc.
