Ackerman Pens - calligraphy and ink sketching fountain pens

Today I am having a look at one of my favorites G nib fountain pens - the Ackerman Pens.
Quirky, they require you to be full hands on - definitely not a beginner's pen. However, if you put in the effort and time, you can get some nice and fun results :).

Enjoy!
