'''Myke Hurley:''' All right, so continuing the tradition from earlier in the show.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I don't know what it is, so. Yeah, you told me, you said we have a good odds of a doorbell today, but you didn't know what it was going to be, so what do we got here?

'''Myke Hurley:''' I don't know. Let me see. Some cardboard box and ripping open some carrier bags.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Oh, some pajamas.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' What a letdown.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I know. I'm waiting on the Art Snacks box, so I was hoping it was that. And your field notes. And my field notes. Wasn't either of them. Sorry, everybody. Right, so did you get to Tim's question?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Did I get to Tim's? No, I told you we completely held for you. We were waiting with bated breath, so let's go with Tim. Tim got a new Hobonichi Techo cousin and is not sure what to make of the pink extra. I have been asked this question before, and we're not sure what to make of it. And it turns out, Myke, what is it? It's a tissue holder.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. I don't understand why you get this. Why do you get sent this?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I'm going to answer you. All right. Japan. Okay. That's all you need to know.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I love the phrase, the pink extra.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I don't get why they would send you it. It doesn't make any sense. Why do you get that?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Japan. It doesn't make sense. I don't know what to tell you, man. I'm just going with Japan. All right. All right. Connor wants to know if the Pinchot is still available for purchase.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That's the nib holder, the P-E-N-X-O. It always says, sounds like we're talking about, that's what I meant. Sounds like we're always talking about Pinchot. Yes. Like Atlanta Pinchot.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' And I still don't know if that's the accurate pronunciation of this product, but it seems pretty good to me, so I'm going with it. I don't know, but I gave Jeff mine and we use it in the shop all the time. It's a good little product. So yes, you should check that one out. It looks like they're pre-ordering from their website at this point.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It seems like it's still happening. They're shipping out and it's a great product.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' They blew out their Kickstarter, so I wouldn't be surprised if they're a little bit behind and get everything else ramped up. I mean, they really, really blew out their product. It was a good product for a good price. I mean, that's what's going to happen when you do that, right?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Mm-hmm. No doubt.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yep, yep, yep. All right, Rob wants to know, are the TWSBI Eco nibs interchangeable with the 580 AL nibs? And they are not. The Eco nibs are smaller, narrower. They will not fit if you remove them into the feed or nib unit of the ALs. They are not interchangeable. So I think maybe the mini nibs, the TWSBI mini nibs are interchangeable with the Eco. I haven't tried that, but they look to be about the same size. I just haven't pulled any out yet to swap them. But they're absolutely not swappable with the 580, so that's not going to work.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Okay.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Related to that, Stella wants to know, did I ever get my Pendleton nib grind? And how do I like it? Can I get picks in a writing sample? I say it's related because I got it on a 580 AL orange. Can you remind me what this is? So he does several different nib grinds. He's known for just like a, he calls it a butterline stub. So it's just like a stub grind. But what he does, I think with the grind, I basically didn't get a grind. I got a cut. I got the butterline stub plus an angel wings modification, I think is probably the best term to use, to give that nib extra flex. Okay. So it's wide, wet, flexi steel nib, and it's awesome. And I have not, I've taken some pictures of it in the past, but it's just one of those that I keep forgetting to review because we've done so many 580 reviews on the blog. But I should just do a review of the nib itself. I will do that for you, Stella. I will write that down now.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So what's this last one, Myke?
