It's been a reliable material used by Graf in the Classic pen range since 2006.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes every Pernambuco look different?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, there is difference in the grain and colour between pieces and the colour will change as the pen ages. This is part of the charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the size compare with the regular Classic?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Magnum is the choice if you want a larger, more substantial pen with a larger nib (size #6). The Classic is slimmer, lighter, fitted with a size #5 nib, and easier to carry and use every day. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Magnum too heavy to write comfortably?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe weight is noticeable, and makes it best suited to deliberate writing rather than quick note taking. The Magnum nib is its strength, and given it's size it is one of the softest and smoothest in the Graf range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the Magnum nibs sizes broad for their stated size?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, definitely broader than Japanese nibs of oversize pens, and also broader and wetter than the Graf Classic and Guilloche nibs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the nib have any flex?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, the appeal is more about smoothness, wetness, and controlled spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eDoes it include a converter?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eYes, a standard international converter is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill my nib be checked before it ships?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, if you select the nib check option.
