Edison 1.1 stub nib
This Edison stub is very nice. I have only recently discovered stub nibs, and I like to write regularly with them. Who needs flex when you got stub? OK, don't answer that...but for everyday writing, stubs are nice.

This Edison #6 Two-Tone Steel 1.1mm Stub nib unit is a complete all-in-one nib and feed unit which screws into your Edison fountain pens that use a #6 JoWo nib unit. This Edison gold-plated steel nib unit generally looks best in pens with gold trim.
Please note: Edison is undergoing a rolling change in their gold plated and regular 18kt gold nibs - Two-tone nibs are being phased out in favor of Single-tone gold plated or single-tone 18kt gold. Some nibs are only available in single-tone gold, and the Two-Tone option is no longer available. If this is a concern, please email or call for more details.

Brilliant
Every single Edison No.6 nib I have used has been brilliant, period. I have tried Pelikan nibs, and Sailor nibs, and they undoubtedly have sublime qualities that make them worth their price. But when I pick up a fountain pen, I am as likely to pick up an Edison, as any other pen, and expect I will have just as good a writing experience. If you have to study the minute differences between nibs, then there probably isn't any practical difference for normal writing. A well tuned, and smooth nib Edison nib (as they are) writes as well as any other nib I own. The No 6 italic 1.1 nibs and 1.5 nibs are no exception. I had no problem adapting to using them for normal writing, but I'd say that you would need to find, for yourself, which ink best suits the two different nib widths.
