Hello pen friends!

In this video, I am finally looking at a much requested pen, the Sailor Fude de Mannen!

Fude nibs have many outspoken fans, and plenty in the urban sketching community seem to like them. What is it like to draw with them, and what considerations do you have to make in order to transition from traditional fountain pens to Fude nibs? Watch on!
