Editing The Pen Addict 62/transcript (section)

== Vanishing Point ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' Have you ever used a vanishing point?

'''Ana Reinert:''' I have not. I tested one in a local pen shop and do find that the placement of the clip is a little awkward.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, that's the most, I mentioned this last week, but it's like the most upsetting and kind of biggest offender for me, because the clip is so pronounced that it has, over time, actually kind of made that pen unusable for me, which is a real shame.

'''Ana Reinert:''' It's a beautiful pen.

'''Myke Hurley:''' They're beautiful.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, I think any pen with a molded grip section or that's going to force your fingers into a certain grip style, I don't think I would ever recommend that for a left-hander without them using it first. I just see that as being a huge challenge. It's just not made that way. The only one I've seen, gosh, who is it? I'll have to find the link. It's Stabilo made a pencil where you could buy a mechanical pencil where you could buy the right-handed grip version or the left-handed grip version. Lami. Which, that's the only one I can recall off the top of my head that has done that with a molded grip area.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Lami actually make left-handed safaris.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' They make left-handed nibs. Do they make actually left-handed, do they change the grip? I don't know. I assume so.

'''Ana Reinert:''' They make a lefty... I was going to say, that goes back to, again, if you're a left-handed writer and you're an underwriter. Like, I don't know if the Stabilo or the Lami would adjust the grip to accommodate an overwriter versus an underwriter.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, it does actually say left-handed nib. Yeah.

'''Ana Reinert:''' Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' From what I can see, I've only found an Amazon this thing. So, let me see if I can find anything on that.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, Ana, what the... Have you ever used a lefty nib, Ana?
